We offer this type of care to anyone who needs it. Our full-time care Clients often include people with dementia, who may be prone to putting themselves at risk through confusion or disorientation. We also support those with poor mobility who are unable to move around their home without assistance.

Every family who needs around-the-clock care for a relative has their own unique story. What all of our Clients share is the desire to provide the very best for their loved one, particularly when their needs become greater than the family can manage.

24-hour care is often needed as our loved ones approach end-of-life. Our CareGivers are fully trained to support all Clients in their day-to-day lives, particularly those who need the comfort of having someone nearby.

When is it the right time for 24-hour care?

If you are a primary CareGiver, there may come a time to think about employing 24-hour care. It can be difficult to know when the time is right, but if you are struggling to provide safe and effective care yourself, then there is no shame in seeking support. 

There are certain things to consider that can help you make your decision regarding full-time care. We recommend considering the following questions:

• Is your loved one safe if they’re home alone?

Is there a possibility that your loved one may not be safe when someone isn’t around to care for them? Are you worried that your loved one may fall or otherwise hurt themselves? It may be time to seek support from a full-time Carer. Similarly if you are concerned that your loved one isn’t able to meet their own physical needs, such as eating and drinking, our team of Carers can help. 

• Are you feeling overwhelmed by providing care?

CareGiver stress can be an important sign that it may be time to seek help from someone else. If you just need some short-term support or temporary relief, you may wish to consider our respite care services.

• Does your loved one require more care than you are qualified to provide? 

Most people aren’t trained to deal with the full extent of their loved one’s needs. If they require specialist care in response to a medical condition, then it’s likely time to consider 24-hour support.

We’re aware that there are other factors to consider when deciding what is right for you and your family; but these questions are a good place to start. 

Our friendly and supportive team of full-time CareGivers and facilitators will help to define a care plan that suits you. Above all, we’ll put your loved one’s safety first. Remember: there is no shame in enlisting full-time support to meet their care requirements.
