RE: Any tips when choosing a care-at-home service?
What should families look for when deciding on a care agency for an ailing grandparent?
Before looking for a care agency, you first need to determine the specific needs of your loved one that will need care. Will it mainly be focused on helping them with their daily activities? Or will your loved one need assistance only during hospital appointments? Understanding your loved one’s specific needs will make it easier for you to set your criteria and narrow down your search.
You should also consider the credentials of the carers, as well as the availability and efficiency of their staff. A credible care agency should have a 24-hour staff service and an efficient system of creating care plans specific to your loved one’s needs.
I could relate to your situation because I also once needed palliative care in Maidstone for my elderly father diagnosed with colon cancer. I was happy with the company I chose because they helped me bond with my father during his remaining time and they cared for him with compassion. I could say he was happy during his final moments.
