How Can You Arrange Home Care for Your Ageing Parents?

Are you worried about your ageing parents struggling with daily tasks and unsure where to start in finding the right help?

You’re not alone. Many families face this situation as their loved ones age and require more assistance at home. The good news is that support is available, and knowing where to begin is key.

At Home Instead Taunton & West Somerset, we provide compassionate home care tailored to meet the needs of your parents while preserving their independence. Let’s explore how you can arrange the right care for your loved ones.

Step One: Start with a Care Needs Assessment

The first step to finding suitable home care is understanding what type of support your parents require. This is where a care needs assessment comes in. At Home Instead Taunton & West Somerset, we offer a free assessment to help identify not only the level of care your parents need but also possible adaptations to make their home safer and more comfortable.

This could involve help with household chores, assistance with personal care, or simply ensuring your parents have the social companionship they need. The goal is always to help them maintain their independence for as long as possible, while providing the care they need.

What Types of Home Care Services Are Available?

Home care covers a wide variety of services, designed to support your loved one in staying at home rather than moving into a care facility. Here are just a few of the types of care our dedicated professionals can provide:

Household Assistance

As we age, everyday tasks like cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation can become challenging. Care professionals can help with these tasks, ensuring your parents’ home remains tidy and comfortable.

Personal Care

If your parents need help with bathing, dressing, or getting in and out of bed, our carers are trained to provide personal care with dignity and respect, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported.

Errands and Shopping

Running errands can be difficult for elderly individuals. Our carers can assist with grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, or other tasks to make life easier for your parents.

Companionship

Sometimes, what’s most needed is a friendly face and someone to talk to. Our care professionals provide meaningful companionship, whether it’s a chat over a cup of tea, help with hobbies, or a walk around the garden. Social interaction is important for mental and emotional well-being.
