The Caring Choice

The Caring Choice

For many elderly people, the traditional route of being cared for is still a residential home, but increasingly the down-sides of this option are making other choices being closely examined.

So what are the downsides?

In a nutshell they are all emotional and psychological. For those involved, these can take precedence over all other concerns.

Many private care homes face major financial problems and in recent years closures have become more frequent.

For residents, the impact of such closures cannot be overestimated. Their environment suddenly changes: friendships are lost when individuals are relocated to new care homes, different staff, different “atmosphere” all create stress on those involved.

Increasingly, many elderly and their families are examining the alternative of staying in their own home and being cared for by a trained carer.

Depending on the degree of care needed, care staff may be permanent live-in, or daily visit.

Importantly, the elderly person can be cared for by a trained carer, while retaining all the benefits of staying where they are most “at home.”

At The Graham Agency, we specialise in providing experienced carers who deliver precisely these benefits.
