Home care service providers, Right at Home are helping residents living in North Somerset and the surrounding area remain in their homes for longer by offering them the companionship and support they need.
Managing director Grant Attwood explains how their services can help your family.
What are home care services?
Home care services can help those living independently cope with their daily routine and move around the home. Caregivers can help them get to doctor's appointments and attend local social groups or events. Even go with them for a stroll in the local park.
How Home care services can help your loved one:
1. Personalised, specialist care that suits their needs
From the comfort of their home, your relative can have access to the care and help they need.
Right at Home's professional and highly trained Caregivers can offer support for a variety of care needs and support you or your loved ones regardless of their ability or condition.
They can offer consistent companionship and stable care for clients with Alzheimer's or Dementia and become a friendly face you and your family member can trust and rely on.
2. Maintaining their independence
Home carers can help clients manage their daily routines, carry out jobs around the home and go out with them. This can help your family member remain independent and stay in their homes for longer.
You can choose how often to use the home care service. They can visit for one hour a day up to 24 hours a day, as many days of the week as you need.
3. Offering them companionship and support
Daily interaction can benefit your loved one's mental and physical wellbeing. A home carer can be a companion for elderly people to chat to and laugh with.
"Our carers will signpost and help people access hobbies and personal interests they may not be able to do independently anymore. We find out what is important to people and see how we can make their goals a reality," Grant said.
4. Get them involved with the local community
Sharing your time with someone and starting a conversation with them can have a lasting impact.
Right at Home works with the local community to combat the loneliness and isolation many senior citizens face.
"We want to organise events and activities that everyone can join in with and create a safe place for our clients to have fun, meet new people and give others in the community a chance to get involved and make a difference," said Grant.
5. Support for the family
Being there for your loved one when they need extra help can be overwhelming.
Right at Home can offer one-off or regular visits to help. Working with you, they'll devise a specific care plan that addresses what services and type of care you want for your relative.
This way you can relax knowing that they are in safe hands.
Are home care services worth it?
"Only you or your loved one can make that decision, but it can be worth exploring the care options available in your local area and learning what support they can offer," Grant said.
How to choose the right home care service for you?
