Home care usually involves providing care for elderly people within their own home; it is the same as the type of care which can be provided by an old people’s accommodation unit or residential care home. PTMD supports both home care and care home services in Birmingham, care home services in Bromsgrove and care home services in Banbury.
What are the benefits of home care?
There are many benefits of home care for elderly people and these include:
The Importance of Home Care
Home care offers one huge advantage to the patient and their family and that is the ability to keep that person in the familiar and safe confines of their own house, with all their recognisable personal possessions around them. This makes a massive difference to an elderly person and their close family, and helps preserve both good mental and physical health for as long as possible.
Home can become a frightening place for those who are maybe living alone and find that their mental or physical health is starting to fail them. Home care takes away that isolation and worry to provide supported living which reflects the needs of that particular individual. Close family are reassured about their loved ones’ safety and wellbeing, and dignity and independent living are preserved. Having access to a much-loved pet or garden can all be taken away if residential care is the only option.
