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, live-in care is an excellent and often more cost-effective alternative to a care home. Care homes frequently involve extra fees beyond the headline price, making live-in care a cheaper option, especially for couples who avoid paying for two separate rooms. Unlike care homes, live-in care means a focus solely on your loved one. This allows them to remain comfortably in their own home, receiving dedicated one-to-one support for better value and greater peace of mind than less individualised residential care.
With Elder’s extensive network of self-employed carers, we can typically set up live-in care within 24 hours. In urgent cases, it's often possible to find a suitable carer on the same day.
Elder provides a variety of home care options, including live-in, respite and visiting care.
Each option is entirely adaptable, with every care plan meticulously tailored to your loved one's specific requirements for truly personalised support.
