About elderly care
Personal care such as washing and dressing, plus meals, medicines and help getting around, as well as company and an eye on health: that is care for older people. Because nearly every provider is registered for it, compare them instead on staffing, continuity and how well care is shaped around the person.
Questions to ask agencies about elderly care
- What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
- Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
- How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
- How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
- How do you keep the family updated week to week?
