Reasons to choose us as
your Elderly Home Care provider
The choice of any elderly person to leave their home
that they have become attached to for the many years
is not an easy one. It is equally a harder choice
for children and relatives to decide to have their
aging parents and grandparents go to an elderly care
home. There is often that feeling that when they let
an elderly go to a care home, they are simply
neglecting them because they are old!
However, in most cases, the persons living with the
elderly person lacks the skills to live with an
elderly person, more so, where the elderly suffers a
certain disability or condition. In addition, the
elderly finds it difficult to take care of their
home and personal care.
This is where we come in, we provide an alternative
to persons who wish to care for the elderly but do
it at home. We provide a variety of home care
services for the elderly with the option of choosing
care of a few hours or live-in-care. As opposed to
the hourly basis care, the live-in-care provides a
24- hour care in the seniors own home.
Foremost, we are an ideal choice because we give our
clients total freedom. We understand that letting a
stranger into your home may be stressful, we start
by letting the elderly client personally select
their preferred caregiver among our team of staff.
Any preferred person such as their relative may also
assist in the selection process. This gives them the
freedom to make certain choices on the caregiver or
the nurse such as their gender and age group. We
also provide the option for our clients to select
one or two caregivers.
However, in instances where the client suffers a
medical condition such as dementia, we highly
recommend that they select a caregiver and one of
our professional staff for helping them manage their
condition. It is ideally easier to deal with two
persons from the same organization.
Once they have selected the caregivers, we give them
the freedom to come up with a job description for
the caregiver. Such details will include duties and
responsibilities and information on working hours.
Most importantly, we understand that many seniors
with incontinence problems may feel embarrassed. We
have therefore ensured that our team provides
compassionate help and strive to maintain the
client’s dignity and self- esteem as much as
possible.
In addition, the elderly gets to select a back- up
caregiver or other staff who shall be the caregiver
in instances where the primary caregiver cannot
work. We, however, guarantee that such instances are
minimal. In instances where the client develops
resistance to the selected caregiver or the nursing
care provider, we help them make a replacement as
quick as possible. Sometimes the cause for elders to
develop resistance could be emotional imbalance and
thus we help ensure that the client is back to
normal once more.
In line with our mission to provide the elderly with
better life quality, we have put together a team of
kind- hearted, polite and friendly staff that is
drawn from various disciplines. Moreover, our team
is composed of professionals and includes
professional caregivers, doctors, therapists,
physiotherapists, and nurses. Our integrated
services mean that the seniors need not visit other
homes from time to time to access certain care
services or hire other new persons for their care.
Our basic care services include meals delivery.
Here, we provide a choice of tasty and nutritious
meals that are prepared by professionals in cooking
for the elderly. Where the client would wish to make
their own meals, our staff helps them with meal
preparation. In addition, we provide home and
personal care services that include bathing the
elderly where they cannot bathe by themselves, doing
their laundry, combing their hair, shaving and
dressing them.
Our caregivers are also specially trained in
providing transferring and positioning services that
include moving the seniors from the bed to the
wheelchair or to toilets.
Our wide experience in the provision of elderly home
care has made us appreciate the big role
communication and companionship plays in an elderly
person’s life. As an added advantage, therefore, our
staff is trained on having conversations with
seniors and generally keeping them entertained.
Moreover, our care home not only provides personal
care for the elderly, but also provides nursing
care. This means that we not only feed, bathe, but
we are an ideal choice for home nursing care for
seniors. Our home nursing care service helps in the
administration of medication, changing of feeding
tubes, removal of stitches; wound care, injections
among other nursing services. Our team is able to
work with the senior’s personal doctor to ensure
that the senior is receiving the care according to
their diagnosed condition.
As mentioned earlier, we are comprised of a large
team of professional. One special nursing care worth
mentioning is with regard to seniors in need of
therapy care. We pride of the best physiotherapists
and occupational therapists. The home therapy
services include exercises aimed at improving the
performance of basic activities such as bathing and
walking.
Moreover, where the client needs a regular checkup
in hospitals, we ensure to provide them with
transportation while being accompanied by one of our
staff. The means of transportation will depend on
our contract details; that is, whether to use family
car or our means.
To ensure the most intimate and smooth relationship
between the client and our staff, we have made it
our policy to assign each elderly a specific member
who shall be the main care giver. The benefit of
this arrangement is that the staff gets to
understand the client best, therefore, know his or
her inner likes and silent needs. More so, we have
realized that the elderly do not like being handled
by different persons at the same time.
Seniors do indeed deserve to feel happy and have
fun. We have therefore ensured that recreational
activities of their wish are incorporated into their
everyday schedule. Our recreational service options
involve accompanying the client for shopping,
picking up mails at the postal office and even
accompanying them to their favorite sports events.
Furthermore, laughter is the best medicine.
Another top reason to choose us is that, unlike most
elderly home care providers in Singapore, we provide
our quality services even on Saturdays. This makes
it ideal for relatives who work even on Saturdays.
Furthermore, elderly persons with certain conditions
need constant care and therefore even a one-day
break could mean a lot.
Finally, you can never go wrong in choosing us for
your elderly care services because we are an
accredited elderly home care provider. Accreditation
means that we have not only been tested and verified
for the provision of quality elder home care
services, but also, in the event of any breach of
our obligations, you have recourse with a recognized
organization. |
