How Elder Provides a Live-in Alternative to an Exeter Care Home

Our loved ones may struggle to care for themselves as they grow older, as day-to-day tasks become more challenging. It can therefore be a tough decision to decide whether to place a parent, grandparent or another loved one in a care home, as it could be a struggle to provide the level of care a relative requires to live a happy, healthy life. The thought alone is bound to make a family member feel anxious, because no-one likes the thought of forcing a loved one out of their home to live in a care facility.

High-quality Live-in Care Services

Fortunately, a loved one may not have to move out of their home, as Elder.org now offers a superb alternative to a care home in Exeter. Instead of moving your family member or friend to receive care somewhere else, Elder is bringing the care directly to them with live-in care services. Their qualified, experienced carers will stay in the spare bedroom within a loved one’s home, providing around the clock elderly care to ensure your relative remains safe, happy and healthy within the comfort of their home.

The Perfect Match

Elder will match a carer with the resident, because they understand that companionship and care is the key to improving a person’s quality of life. Elder will therefore match the carer with your loved one’s interests and personality, which can make a person feel more content when receiving care at home. This compatibility and familiarity will also make a family member feel more comfortable when a carer helps them into bed, get dressed or with their personal hygiene.

A carer will also manage a loved one’s medication, prescriptions and medical appointments, whilst helping them to enjoy light exercise, community events and connect with friends and family members. From light housework to the preparation of meals, many aspects of their home life will be significantly improved. In-home care therefore allows an elderly person to continue with their daily routine as much as possible, even when they are suffering from a debilitating health condition, such as dementia.

How to it Works

Elder can provide an experienced carer quickly. You pay a fixed weekly home care fee. You can therefore go to work, care for your family and perform daily tasks, without having to worry about the health and wellbeing of a friend or family member. Elder can also provide dedicated support seven days a week from 8am to 8pm. What’s more, an experienced live-in carer can be with your relative as soon as tomorrow, and can remain within the home for as long as you like.

Growing older is never easy, but with the right care and support, a person will be able to maintain their pride, dignity and quality of life, which is why home care services can often make a huge difference to the standard of living a loved one enjoys.
