With an Elder live-in carer, a wide range of tasks are included to support your loved one's wellbeing and daily routine. These tasks cover:
- Personal support: Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and continence care.
- Health management: Support with medication prompting and administration, along with mobility assistance.
- Home management: Planning and preparing meals, light housework, and caring for pets.
- Social engagement: Providing companionship, encouraging hobbies, managing errands, and accompanying to appointments and social outings.
It’s important to know that our carers are not equipped to perform complex medical procedures like Stoma care, PEG care, or wound care, as these require a registered nurse.
Yes, absolutely! Elder's live-in care is a quality and often cheaper alternative to a care home. Residential care frequently involves extra fees beyond the headline price, and can become especially costly for couples who typically need to pay for two separate rooms.
Your loved one remains in their familiar home, preserving their routine and freedom. With dedicated one-to-one support, they gain better value and greater peace of mind compared to the less individualised approach of residential care.
Thanks to Elder's nationwide network of self-employed carers, live-in care in can often be arranged within 24 hours. For urgent situations, we've even successfully matched families with a suitable carer on the very same day.
Elder provides personalised home care services, including live-in, respite and visiting care. Every care plan is fully tailored to the individual's specific requirements, ensuring personalised support for your loved one.
