Home Care on the Shetland Islands

Home care on the Shetland Islands, where amenities can be sporadic, offers a valuable service making the lives of its residents more comfortable and independent.

What is Home Care?

Home care is a tailored service, designed to provide assistance to those individuals who would benefit from help with a range of tasks, whilst still enjoying the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. It is especially beneficial for the elderly, the differently-abled, or those recovering from an illness or injury.

Depending on your personal needs, home care can encompass a vast array of tasks that might include personal care (like bathing and dressing), household chores (cooking, cleaning, laundry), medication management, companionship, and even more specialised care for those with conditions such as dementia or mobility issues.

Why Choose Home Care?

Home care offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly improve the quality of life of those who utilise these services.

Comfort and Familiarity

The greatest advantage of home care is the ability to remain in your own home, surrounded by your memories and possessions. This sense of familiarity can be particularly reassuring for those dealing with the disorientation often associated with conditions like dementia.

Personalised Care

Unlike residential care homes, where routines are typically rigid, home care allows for a degree of flexibility in care schedules. This option can ensure that your needs are met in the timeframe that suits you best, enhancing both your independence and sense of autonomy.

Cost-Effective Choice

It's often assumed that home care is expensive, but when compared to residential care homes, it can be a cost-effective alternative. More information about the Cost of Home Care on the Shetland Islands is available on our website.
