What is an elderly care plan?
An elderly care plan is tailored to your unique needs that are due to older age.
Our elderly care can specifically target age-related frailties and any needs that you may have due to progressing age. For example, mobility may decline as we age so we can help make your home more accessible, safe and appropriate to your level of mobility. We can also help with conditions you may have such as dementia and offer specialist dementia care that focuses on making the home more dementia friendly. Our elderly care hopes to make life easier for you in your golden years.
Why should I have a care plan?
A care plan can support you in day-to-day life and with your more clinical needs.
The NHS states that care and support plans offer you independence, control, knowing what type of care is for you and allow you to continue doing the things you enjoy. It can be there to support your journey to understanding whatever condition or age-related frailty you may be living with. An elderly care plan can adapt to your needs and include yourself and your loved one’s input, so you’re always at the forefront. We can regularly review your progress and keep on top of what’s working and what’s not.
