Day Care

Why could a day carer be suitable for me?

If you have found yourself wishing you had an extra pair of hands to help around your home and in your daily life, it might be time to consider a day carer. Day carers services are completely customisable to you, your needs and your schedule. Day care for aged people is available as a live in or live out option and on a full time or part time basis, depending on what sort of assistance it is you are looking for. The added assistance that comes with having a day carer at home, means you will be able to live independently at home for as long as possible.

Day carers at home are there to ensure your life continues to run as smoothly as possible by providing a helping hand where and when you need it most.

Whether you are looking for a regular friendly face to run errands with or have someone come care on a full time live in basis, there is the home care for seniors you’re looking for.

Day carers for your family member can assist with a broad range of duties like medication management, assisting with physiotherapy exercises, taking you to appointments and liaising with doctors, mobility support, grooming and personal care, preparing meals, and home administration. Our senior day carers are also a source of emotional support through the tougher times so no matter what you’re going through, from dealing with an illness or grieving a loved one lost, you’ll have someone standing by your side. A day carer can prove to be an invaluable part of your loved one’s support network and can improve the quality of life of everyone involved.

If you have more complex care needs, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson's, staying in familiar surroundings can greatly contribute to your health, so staying in your home for as long as possible is a necessity. Day carers for elderly people are able to provide you or your loved one with specialised and one on one care as many day carers have been specially trained and will have a deeper understanding of the issues involved and will support you or your loved one through the condition.

A day carer at home is there to help with any aspect of your life that you require a little extra assistance. They are a friend to lean on when you need it most and a constant source of support for you and your family.
