At Blue Angel Care, we understand the concerns you might have when considering home care for yourself or your loved one. Many people worry about losing their independence, but in fact, the right care package can give greater independence as well as essential support.
Here are 10 reasons why home care is a good choice:Â
1. Home care reduces stress
Relying on family members or friends to provide care can put a lot of pressure on everyone involved. Having a dedicated care giver come help out frees up families and friends to enjoy their time together and maintain healthy relationships whilst being assured that their loved ones are being looked after. Â
2. Diet and nutrition support
A proper, nutritious diet helps in maintaining health and very often if is hard to ensure your loved one is eating well. With home care, you can relax in the knowledge that your loved one is getting nutritional meals throughout the day. Our care services ensure that a proper diet plan is followed to maintain a healthy diet.Â
3. No need for embarrassment
When it comes to personal care such as toileting, washing and dressing, it can be distressing and embarrassing to be seen in such an intimate way by family and friends. A professional care giver can ease that distress, helping your loved one to maintain dignity while providing all the support that they need, which might be more than you realise.
4. Medication management
Many people worry about whether a loved one is taking all their medication at the right times. By trusting a care giver to manage medication, you can be sure that the right dose will be taken at the right time, every day.
