An elderly relative needs post-operative care

- Mobility - at home and getting out and about
- Meals - both cooking and eating
- Bathing / showering
- Household chores e.g. vacuuming, tidying, laundry, ironing.
You've been promoted / started a new job
and have less time to provide care
- Great opportunity that has one drawback - less or no time to provide care
- You need a backup plan to ensure your relative is not left 'high and dry'
- You are considering a longer-term care option.
You yourself are recuperating from an operation
- You live alone with no family nearby and need help getting home from hospital
- You need help with mobility, meals, chores, etc
- A quick recuperation means a speedy return to work
- Help with important things means you can focus more on work.
Managing an elderly relative's transition
from own home to care home
- Independent >> Semi-independent >> Dependent
- A decline in health means an elderly relative must move into a care home
- The move will not be immediate but in a matter of weeks or months
- In the meantime, your dependant needs help around the home or with other simple but meaningful tasks.
You're a long way from home
- You've relocated away from an elderly relative, or you yourself have no support from your usual caregivers
- You can no longer support and provide care - but are worried no-one else is around to do it
- They have their pride and may not want to admit they need help - so you're being very diplomatic and we need to be aware of this
- This can also impact your performance at your new job - a 'double whammy'
- Enjoy genuine peace of mind knowing reliable Backup Adult & Eldercare is in place.
