Why choose private care?

1. Personalised and Tailored Care:

One-on-one attention:

Private carers provide dedicated, individualised support, focusing solely on the needs of one person, unlike care homes or agencies where staff may be responsible for multiple individuals.

Flexibility in care:

Private carers can adapt to specific needs and preferences, offering more flexible schedules and types of support compared to agency carers.

Building stronger relationships:

By working with the same carer over time, a more trusting and familiar relationship can develop, leading to a more comfortable and supportive care experience. Unlike agencies where you have different people everyday and a high turnover of staff.

2. Cost-Effectiveness:

Avoiding agency fees:

Hiring a private carer directly can eliminate the fees charged by care agencies, potentially making it a more affordable option, especially for long-term care.

3. Control and Choice:

Choosing your carer:

Private care allows you to select the individual who best matches your needs and personality, ensuring a good fit and a more comfortable experience.

Influence over care:

You have greater control over the types of care provided, the schedule, and the specific tasks the carer will undertake.

Staying in your home:

Private care allows individuals to remain in their own homes, surrounded by familiar belongings and routines, which can be particularly important for those with dementia or other conditions.

4. Other Advantages:

Reduced loneliness and isolation:

Private carers can provide companionship and social interaction, helping to combat loneliness and improve overall well-being.

Peace of mind:

Having a dedicated carer can provide peace of mind for both the individual receiving care and their family, knowing that their needs are being met.
