About elderly care

Care for older people covers help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and getting about, plus company and keeping an eye on health. It is the most common registration with CQC, so most providers list it; the differences are in staffing, continuity and how well care is planned around the person.

Before you choose: questions on elderly care

  1. What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
  2. Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
  3. How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
  4. How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
  5. How do you keep the family updated week to week?
