Abergavenny Respite Care
Caring for the needs of a loved one is a rewarding and selfless act. That said, caring for someone is a huge undertaking, especially if they require around-the-clock support. Caregiving can be physically and emotionally draining and so it’s essential that you take some time for yourself from time to time. Our respite care services provide caregivers with a well-earned break from their responsibilities. You can use this time to go away on holiday, catch up with family members and friends, or simply enjoy some relaxation and solitude. All while knowing that your loved one’s care needs are being met. Taking regular breaks from caregiving is vitally important as it allows you to de-stress and recharge your batteries. This means that you’ll be healthy, happy, and ready to face the demands of caregiving.
Elderly Care in Abergavenny
Many elderly people develop health conditions that make it more difficult to complete their daily tasks and activities. You may notice that an elderly relative struggles to cook healthy meals or finds driving more challenging, for example. It is natural for elderly people to need a little bit of extra support as they get older, but this shouldn’t stop them from living an independent and fulfilling lifestyle. Our carers are fully trained in elderly care and have the expertise and knowledge to support your elderly loved one at any age. We offer two main types of elderly home care:
- Visiting care – Visiting care is offered at different intervals throughout the week, starting from 30 minutes and can go up to several hours. A dedicated carer can visit your loved one at home and assist with a wide variety of tasks including personal care, mobility support, household chores, and medication administration. The level of care can be adjusted as and when their needs change to ensure that they are receiving the correct support at all times.
- Live-in care – Live-in care involves a fully trained carer moving into your loved one’s home to provide care whenever they need it. This is usually the preferred option when an elderly person has complex needs and offers an excellent alternative to a residential care home.
