Care Options for my Elderly Relative

Care Options for my Elderly Relative

What are the care options for my elderly relative whilst I go on holiday?

As a carer for an elderly relative at home, part-time or full-time, it’s essential to take some time off from caring to care for yourself. It offers the chance to enjoy some time alone or with friends, partake in a class or activity of interest or simply take a break. The main concern of anyone in this situation is not ‘where shall we go?’ but ‘who will look after mum/dad whilst we are away?’

Services designed to take the strain out of caring are available in West Sussex. Often referred to as respite care, trained care workers can be there to care for your loved one when you need a break the most.

Prestige Nursing + Care based in Worthing offers various care and support services which are customised to meet the needs of an elderly family member. They go that one step further by taking the time to meet and understand you and your loved one’s needs and creating a tailored care plan with a focus on improving the quality of life for your loved one.

They offer four different types of care services which can be personalised in order to meet the requirements and preferences of your loved one at any time:

Companion Care Services – our trained carers can assist with household tasks such as basic housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry and grocery shopping. Perhaps most of all, their care workers are there to engage your loved one in social activities and past times.
