Most elderly people need help around the home if they live alone, and sometimes it becomes difficult for their loved ones to juggle their own lives whilst trying to provide the care that they need day in day out. That’s why it’s important to find a trained professional who can assist you and ensure that the quality of life for your loved one doesn’t decline.
Are you searching for home care for an elderly loved one?
Here at Right at Home, we offer care at home services designed to help the elderly and those who aren’t able to care for themselves. We offer these services across Australia, from Sydney to Toowoomba, from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast. We know how important it is to know that the people you care about are being looked after by people who know what they’re doing, which is why we employ our rigorous testing procedure to ensure that every single member of our team is more than capable of delivering this service.
How do we help?
Every day, you will conduct activities in your daily life that you may not think twice about, such as going to the shops or washing the dishes. We don’t think twice about them because they cause us no physical problems most of the time, they are simply an errand that needs to be run. Unfortunately, for many of the elderly, these day to day tasks can become too difficult to face, making it difficult to live a comfortable life.
Our carers are trained and experienced in helping to alleviate the stresses that may be caused by not being able to complete these tasks. They are more than happy to assist an elderly person in completing these tasks, rather than taking over completely, allowing a sense of independence to be maintained. They’re also helpful in being another source of socialisation and interaction for these elderly individuals, who may not be able to leave their house and therefore would be missing out on socialising.
On top of this, we also have registered nurses who are able to provide assistance in the more complicated medical matters, working in conjunction with the patient’s doctor and/or hospital prescriptions.
What are ADLs?
We believe it is important for individuals and their family members to know exactly what kind of care will be provided, which is why we have defined a set of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) to help with this definition. We have defined our ADLs as the following:
- Washing
- Dressing
- Meal preparation, taking dietary requirements into account
- Functional mobility
- Personal hygiene and grooming
- Toilet hygiene
Each carer is trained and experienced in delivering these services to a high standard, following the Custom Care Plan for their patient that would have been set in place following the first phone call. We pride ourselves on tailoring our services to each individual customer, so why not give us a call today on 1300 363 802 to find out what we can do for you.
