1. Starting the Conversation
Initiating a discussion about care can be challenging. Start by addressing concerns openly and discussing individual needs, preferences, and how care at home can support a more independent lifestyle. Remember, this is about creating a plan that puts comfort and well-being first.
2. When is Care Needed?
Care needs vary widely; some may require support with day-to-day activities, while others may need more intensive assistance. Our care team can help assess when care is needed and what level of support will best serve your needs.
3. Discussing Care Options as a Family
Care decisions are often made as a family. It’s important to involve everyone in the discussion, considering the needs and concerns of each family member. This can help ensure that the chosen care option suits both the individual needing care and their loved ones.
4. Preparing for Care
Once the decision for care at home has been made, we’ll help you prepare for the transition. From making practical adjustments in your home to setting up an initial care plan, Saunton Care Group will support you in creating a safe and comfortable environment.
3. How to Decide on the Right Caregiver for You
Choosing the right caregiver involves considering qualifications, experience, and personality. We match you with a carer who understands your unique needs and fits well within your home and lifestyle. We prioritise a compatible match to build a trusting and supportive relationship.
4. What is a Care Assessment?
A care assessment helps determine the level of care required. This assessment covers personal needs, health conditions, mobility, and lifestyle preferences. Our team conducts thorough assessments to ensure you receive the right support.
5. What is a Care Consultation?
Our care consultation is an opportunity to discuss your needs, concerns, and goals with our care team. During the consultation, we provide detailed information about live-in care, answer questions, and help you understand what to expect.
6. Paying for Care
Understanding the costs associated with care can be complex. We’re here to help you explore various funding options to make informed choices that suit your budget and needs.
