Does My Elderly Relative Need Home Care Assistance?
Many elderly people are eager to maintain their independence at home for as long as possible. As the friend or family member responsible for a vulnerable loved one, you’re naturally eager to find the right level of home care assistance that meets their needs and budget.
There are many different levels of domiciliary care available to meet a wide range of needs, including respite care and specialist Alzheimer’s and Dementia care. Visits can be made as frequently as required, from once or twice weekly to several times a day.
Your elderly friend or relative might require home care assistance if they find themselves struggling to:
- Perform household tasks such as vacuuming, dusting or washing clothes
- Get in and out of the bath or shower and bed
- Prepare their own meals and remember to eat at meal times
- Take medication consistently and correctly
- Feed and take care of pets
- Tend to the garden
- Wash, dress, brush their hair or put on makeup.
Companions of London was created to connect families like yours with highly skilled and fully qualified domiciliary carers. We assess your requirements and recommend options that suit your location, needs and budget. Our highly professional and fully qualified carers are carefully vetted to ensure that they provide an exceptional quality of care.
The Cost of Home Care Assistance
Elderly care costs can be significantly reduced by remaining at home for your care, rather than opting to move into a care home. Companions of London will provide the right amount of care and support to help you retain your independence while you stay in the familiar and comfortable environment of your home. We will carefully assess your needs and recommend the amount of support required at a competitive hourly rate that is affordable for you and your family.
It is possible to pay for as much or as little home care assistance as you require — our minimum booking is just three hours a week, but we can also provide multiple daily visits if you would like us to. At any point during your care, you can opt to increase or decrease your hours to suit your changing needs and circumstances.
