Handy Helpers Elderly Care Brochure How do I know when I might need a carer? Many people find that as they get older, everyday tasks may become a
little more difficult & that some extra help would go a long way.
There are many signs that you or a loved one may benefit from a carer
and here are some things to look out for:
• Is assistance required for physical tasks such as walking,
dressing, getting in and out of bed or the bath and is there a
decline in vision or hearing? Can errands be managed alone?
Have there been any recent falls?
• Has there been an emotional or medical crisis? Is there weight
loss, disinterest in eating, washing or changing, forgetfulness or
problems with sleeping?
• Is a disinterest shown in social activities, less involvement in
conversation or the leading of a sedentary or solitary lifestyle?
• Are there physical signs such as lack of cleanliness around the
home, burnt cookware or burn marks?
Remember that a Handy Helpers consultant will be able to discuss
these, and any other worries that you may have, enabling peace of
mind that the best solution is found. Why choose home based care? The principal objective of home care is the provision of support to
enable people of all ages to be cared for in the comfort and security of
their own homes for as long as possible.
This enables individuals to live full and independent lives, enhancing
dignity, quality of life and “freedom-of-choice”.
People in need of care are often happier, healthier and recover from
illness faster when living in the comfort and privacy of their own
homes.
Unlike being cared for in an assisted living facility, home care provides
for personalised and flexible services. Care can be customised to meet
each individual’s unique health care requirements, whilst being
sensitive to their emotional well-being.
