What is the most requested support service for the elderly?
Among the many services we offer, personal care is the most requested support service for the elderly. This includes assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, which are crucial for maintaining dignity and hygiene. Personal care not only supports physical health but also boosts confidence and emotional well-being.
How do you arrange home help for the elderly?
Arranging home help for the elderly with Great Park Homecare is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can get started:
Step 1: Needs Assessment
A comprehensive care needs assessment is conducted by our Registered Manager to understand the specific requirements of the elderly individual. This assessment considers various factors, including health conditions, mobility, personal preferences, and social support needs.
Step 2: Developing a Care Plan
Based on each client’s needs assessment, a personalised care plan is created. This care plan outlines the types of care required, the frequency of services, and any specific instructions or preferences. The care plan is tailored to ensure that the elderly individual receives the most appropriate and effective care in consultation with him/herself and authorised family members.
Step 3: Matching with a Carer
Our carers are compassionate, and dedicated to providing the highest quality of care. We endeavour to carefully match clients with carers who are best suited to meet their needs. All home carers are carefully recruited, pass regulatory background checks and have a right to work in the UK. They undergo extensive carer training to handle a variety of care situations, from personal care to complex care conditions.
Step 4: Ongoing Support and Adjustments
Care plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted as needed to accommodate any changes in the client’s condition or preferences. This ensures that the care provided remains relevant and effective.
