Welcome to our InclusiveCare247
When starting your journey of finding the best elderly care for you or a family member, you may feel daunted. A lot of people worry that elderly care means moving into a nursing or residential home, however, there are options that allow you to remain in your own home and maintain your independence. You probably have thousands of questions. We hope that these answers help you in your mission to find the care best for you or your loved one.
There are a range of care options available depending on your current needs. Aside from moving into a residential or nursing home, you can request to have someone come into your home at certain times of the day to support you with daily living activities that you may be starting to struggle with. This type of care is known as homecare.
Another option is to invest in someone being with you, in your home 24/7. Not only will someone be available to assist with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning and medication; but you will also gain a close friend and confidant. A lot of people choose this option, known as live-in care, due to the comfort and reassurance that you are never alone. Both of these options will help you stay safe in your home as well as maintain your independence.
In addition to companionship, there are a number of services available; all of which are fully dependent on your specific circumstances and requirements:
Complex Care:
This type of care is centred on individuals with a chronic illness or are returning home following hospitalisation.
Live In Care
Care here ranges from daily housekeeping and pet care tasks, through to assisting people who are managing a life-long illness such as Dementia or mental illness.
Homecare
This is similar to live-in care but involves someone visiting your home regularly rather than living with you all the time. At inclusivecare247 strives for continuity of care, which means you will see the same carer as often as possible to help you build a solid relationship where your care needs are fully understood.
Independence: Studies show that a lot of elderly people are scared of losing their independence, some more so than death. Elderly care is about making a friend who is fully equipped to help you take care of yourself so that you can maintain your active and independent lifestyle.
Keeping pets: Pets mean the world to their owners and are known to reduce loneliness. With home-based elderly care, you won’t ever have to worry about giving your furry friend away.
Flexibility: The care you require now may be different to the care you will need in twelve months time. Elderly care is fluid and can be adapted based on your changing needs.
This question is a bit more difficult to answer as all care packages should be based entirely on your individual care needs, the longevity of care required and sometimes even your location.
However, there are options available to help you fund your care. There is a lot of information at UK Care Guide that might be helpful.
