Elderly Care
As we age, there are various factors that can make it harder to live independently, whether be illness, mobility concerns or loneliness. Choosing the care, you need is very personal. It might depend on your medical needs, financial circumstances, or the type of environment in which you would like to live in. Many people find it easy to live in their own homes surrounded by family and their normal surroundings or environment. This brings a sense of security and joy.
At Brook of Life Care we are here to help our elderly clients live as independent as they want maintaining their dignity and privacy in their own homes. We provide an alternative to residential care homes.
Choosing the right elderly care can be a daunting process and it is important to know your options. There are many different factors to consider when it comes to care, and it varies depending on circumstances and conditions. Elderly care can be tailored to you and help with several different aspects of ageing.
Getting the right elder care for yourself, or your loved one is important, and we know there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to care for the elderly. Therefore, it is important to understand the different elderly care options available to you.
Getting some extra help in the home doesn’t have to be full-time at first. Hourly care can make a big difference to those with fewer care needs. At Brook of Life Care we can help with respite care, short-term care, and even overnight care for those who struggle through the night. We also provide around the clock care if needed.
Elderly care is not only useful for the physical concerns or challenges, but also for the social and mental effects. Elderly depression is unfortunately common but having the right care and support in place can help with loneliness and provide companionship in later life.
Our care and support packages: Care for the elderly in their own homes is available in many forms, it’s not just traditional visiting care, and can be tailored to individual needs and offered around-the-clock.
Domiciliary care: Domiciliary care is another term for visiting care. It’s provided for the elderly who may need a little extra support in the home but don’t yet require full-time care. Domiciliary carers can help with a range of tasks around the home such as cleaning, cooking, washing, and dressing.
Live-in care: At Brook of Life Care we pride ourselves in providing all manner of live-in care services, including short term and long-term home care for the elderly, respite care, and care for those suffering from dementia and other mental health issues.
We are constantly evolving to better meet your needs which is why our live-in carers can even accompany you or your loved ones to family functions, organise diaries or take you away for a weekend break.
Our live-in carers can be a friend as well as a companion and can provide quality home care for those with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease.
No matter what your requirements are, you can rest assured that every live-in carer is appropriately skilled and experienced to fit in effortlessly with your home life and situation.
We strongly believe that having a carer living in one’s own home is the best way for the elderly to live the life they love. Relocating to a nursing home or residential home can be stressful, that is why we bring the care and support you need in your own home.
