The benefits of private care, as offered by PrimeCarers, are plentiful, including access to a consistent caretaker, affordability, comfort in your own home, and specialised matching to ensure a good fit.
In today’s world, consistency is a treasured commodity. The elderly individuals we are looking to care for benefit greatly from a familiar face, particularly if they are coping with conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's. With a single, consistent carer, an relationship of trust and understanding develops, enhancing the emotional well-being of the individual being cared for. PrimeCarers can offer this level of consistency by allowing you to pick a carer of your choice. With them, the power to choose who comes into your house is always with you.
With PrimeCarers, care doesn’t come at the expense of your bank balance. The cost model is straightforward and provides a clear distinction between hourly care and live-in care. The service fee for live-in care is a mere 12.5%, while the fee for hourly care stands at 15-20%. When compared to agency fees, which generally extract 30-50% of the payment, the cost-effectiveness of private care becomes clearer. For further information, you can refer to the Cost of Home Care in Bristol page on the PrimeCarers website.
Allowing an elderly individual to stay in their familiar environment can greatly alleviate stress and discomfort. With private home care, elders can maintain their independence and enjoy life in their own home. PrimeCarers takes this familiarity and comfort to another level. They offer a specialised service, enabling individuals and couples to be cared for in their homes, while enjoying the visits to local Bristol attractions.
PrimeCarers' innovative approach matches on over 80 factors, ensuring the carer and the cared-for are compatible on a substantial number of levels. The Complete Guide to Private Carers on the PrimeCarers website will provide even more in-depth details about the selection process.
Private care can be ideal for couples. With PrimeCarers, you can support both parents at home for an average of £1,218/week. If you ask the question, Will Carers Look After Couples? the answer is a robust yes! No need to separate your loved ones at a time when they need each other the most.
Beyond mere caregiving, your selected carer can become a companion for your loved one in Bristol. They can visit the historic Bristol Cathedral, the spell-binding Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, or even enjoy a little wind in their hair while walking in the Ashton Court Estate. Time spent outside of the home can be a huge morale boost for those being cared for.
It is essential to bring clarity about why we advocate for private care over agency provided care. The unfortunate truth is that agencies are often more structured in their approach, making their carers less likely to partake in activities not explicitly stated in the care plan. With private care, a flexible approach can be adopted to suit individual needs and preferences. Lastly, the spill-over issue of high staff turnover in agencies can result in frequent changes in carers which can be discomforting for your loved ones.
At the end of the day, the choice of opting for private care is about maintaining control over how and who cares for you or your loved ones. Irrespective of the promises made by care agencies, nothing beats the personalised, compassionate, and consistent care offered by a Private Carer in Bristol, an option made possible effortlessly by PrimeCarers.
In essence, private care allows a holistic, person-centred approach to care delivery. Care becomes more than just the provision of medical attention but encompasses the overall well-being of the individual. With PrimeCarers, you can unlock the potential of private care, guaranteeing a seamless, caring experience for the elderly and those in need of aid.
