Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between in home care and a care home?
Home care is when an elderly loved one receives care within the comfort of their own home and retains independence. We offer an at-home bespoke care service to private clients.
With home care from one of our Bright Carers, you can expect exceptional levels of care and visits from two hours or more, so meaningful relationships between clients and carers can develop. Contact us today to find out more about our award-winning care.
A care home is a residential home that offers personal care, meals and accommodation specifically designed for the elderly, especially those with complex medical conditions, mental or learning disabilities. Although you have your own room within a care home, it is much more structured with organised meal times, activities and allocated visiting times.
There is not the same level of independence, privacy or dignity offered with at-home care.
How do you know when a loved one needs care?
Although there is no set age an elderly person needs care, in 2022 the average age of a person in receipt of support in the UK was 84 years old.
You should consider seeking care for your loved one if it has become unsafe for them to live alone, if there are signs of confusion or disorientation, if they need support because of a medical condition, or any other risks to their personal safety. Advice on how to spot signs of decline in a loved one.
Bright Care offer private tailor made elderly in-home care services. Our services include care and companionship, providing peace of mind for families who cannot always be there to care for their loved ones.
If you believe your elderly loved one needs help with day-to-day activities but cannot afford private care, try completing a care assessment with your local council. More information on this is available from the GOV.UK website.
How much does in home care cost?
The cost of elderly home care will vary greatly depending on your geographical area and the level of service required. At Bright Care we offer care packages that are tailored to our clients’ needs, including live-in care, hourly daytime care, overnight and sleepover care, respite care, and specialised care for those with Alzheimer’s or Dementia.
