Choosing private care in Bath and North East Somerset, over traditional agency-led services, grants you consistent, affordable and personalised care in the comfort of your own home, tailored to your specific needs.
One of the key benefits of engaging a private carer through PrimeCarers is the consistency of care you can expect. Unlike agencies, which often change staff due to unpredictable rotas and high turnover, you'll have the power to choose your carer and maintain that choice throughout your care journey.
With PrimeCarers, you get to choose your carer, establishing and nurturing a relationship of trust and understanding with them over time. This choice also empowers you to make decisions about who comes into your home, guaranteeing the comfort and safety of your personal space.
Having a familiar face assisting with your daily needs can significantly enhance your mental well-being. A consistent carer will also be better equipped over time to comprehend your routine, preferences, and specific needs, ensuring you receive superior, personalised care compared to an ever-changing roster of carers.
Given the quality of care offered, private care might seem like an expensive choice. However, it's actually a more affordable option in comparison with traditional agencies. Agency fees are generally between 30% to 50% of the cost you pay, which can substantially inflate your overall care expense.
PrimeCarers provides a more economically friendly solution. For live-in care, PrimeCarers charge only a 12.5% fee, and for hourly care, the rate lies between 15% and 20%. This is remarkably lower than most agencies, and the money saved can be channelled towards improving the quality of care and life.
An undeniable advantage of private care is the ability to receive professional assistance in the comfort of your own home. This allows you to maintain your independence and usual daily routine, while receiving all the necessary support.
Personalised home care can significantly improve your quality of life by reducing stress and disorientation which often accompany a shift to alien environments, like care homes. Furthermore, familiar surroundings can be particularly beneficial for those with dementia who may struggle with new sights and routines.
PrimeCarers uses an extensive matching system, based on over 80 factors, to pair you with your ideal carer. This ensures that your care is not just structured around your physical needs, but your personality, interests and lifestyle as well.
Agencies, on contrary, can be overly rigid, unwilling to deviate from a defined care plan. This can dampen your spirit, limit activity, and diminish overall care quality.
By matching on over 80 factors, PrimeCarers goes the extra mile to ensure the carer who steps into your home is the best fit possible, ensuring your compatibility and comfort.
Caring for a couple can be a complex task. This is why PrimeCarers offer tailored 'Couples Care' at an average cost of £1,218 per week. The service allows both partners to remain together at home while receiving the necessary support and care. This aids in maintaining an emotionally supportive environment and offers financial efficiency, making it a favourable option.
PrimeCarers navigates the challenges of couples care with finesse, ensuring your parents receive the best possible care without sacrificing their bond.
Apart from general care duties, private carers can enrich your life by accompanying you to visit local attractions. This offers a refreshing break from routine, improves mood and facilitates social interaction.
Bath and North East Somerset are dotted with wheelchair-friendly attractions like the Roman Baths, Victoria Art gallery, Bath Abbey, and Prior Park Landscape Garden that can offer a perfect day out with your carer.
From cultural pursuits to just enjoying nature’s beauty, your care plan can be augmented with these outdoor experiences. This, when compared with traditional agency care, offers a broader scope for joy and rejuvenation in your daily life.
With PrimeCarers, private care is not just about meeting your basic care needs but also about improving your quality of life and maintaining your social growth.
In contrast to agency-led services, private care offers you greater control and flexibility. Traditional agencies can be stifling in their structures, leaving you with limited choice for carers and less space for personal input.
With PrimeCarers, you get a care service that is truly centred around you. The relationship you cultivate with your carer is direct and the platform simply enables this engagement, enhancing your control over your care service. You aren't just a client but, you're an active participant in your care journey.
The beauty of private care, especially showcased through companies like PrimeCarers, is its versatility, personalisation, and cost-effectiveness. The assurance of consistent carers, receiving care in your own home, and finding a match on profound levels such as interests and personality, make it a superior alternative to agency care.
With PrimeCarers, you are in the driver’s seat, aided by a companion who provides professional assistance tailored just for you. Given these advantages, it's clear why so many in Bath and North East Somerset are now unlocking the benefits of private care.
