Clients and their families often decide that arranging for care in the familiar environment of the home is preferable to the upheaval of moving to alternative accommodation. Recent research shows that 97% of older people would prefer to be cared for in their own home, and nearly three-quarters asked considered living independently to be important to them.
Francis House Homecare is often asked if remaining at home is a viable option for people requiring constant care. It most certainly is, and we have been offering 24-hour care at home in Bedfordshire for over a decade, now. With the support of our carers, our clients are able to maintain their independence whilst being professionally cared for.
How Does 24-Hour Care Work?
24-hour care involves the support of a team of carers, and it’s an ideal solution for people who require regular attention at all hours of the day and night. With a trained carer on-hand, clients are safe from harm, and feel supported at all times. And clients’ families have peace of mind that their loved one is being professionally cared for at all times.
Francis House carers are professionals who are trained to deal with dementia, challenging behaviour, and complex mental health issues. They will monitor medications, symptoms, mood, sleep patterns and diet. Equally important. They provide conversation, companionship, shared activities, and regular outdoor exercise.
The Benefits of 24-Hour Care at Home
- Constant care from a trained team who gets to know you and your individual needs
- Available for married couples or partners
- Peace of mind, for clients and their family
- One-to-one personal care and attention
- Companionship, conversation, and shared activities
- Relatives and friends can visit at any time
- An immediate, professional response to accidents or medical emergencies
Bespoke 24-Hour Care
Francis House Homecare creates bespoke care packages designed to meet the needs of each individual client. We’ll begin by carrying out a care assessment, which includes a risk assessment, in order to determine the care package required.
24-hour care at home can also be used to provide a short-term respite care for family members or friends who are looking after a loved one full-time. Knowing that your loved one is receiving constant care and attention by a professional team means that you can enjoy your break and return re-energised.
