Backup Adult & Eldercare
When might you need to use
Back-Up Adult & Eldercare?
You can use this service to support both you and your loved ones...
From looking after an elderly relative when you can't be there, to providing much-needed help for yourself after an injury.
Your Back-Up Adult & Eldercare benefit includes:
In-Home Care - In conjunction with rehabilitative or personal care at home, carers may also assist with the following tasks:
- Mobility - at home and getting out and about
- Meals - cooking, preparing a snack, eating, and clearing up after
- Bathing/showering - washing and dressing
- Light Household Help - e.g. tidying or washing dishes after preparing a meal/snack
Support for yourself, your parents, your partner or other adult relatives living anywhere in the country - particularly helpful when:
- You or your loved one needs support during recovery from surgery or illness
- A long-distance relative needs in-home support or companionship
- A decline in health means an elderly relative needs additional support while they wait to move into a care home
Respite Care to provide help with day-to-day support for your loved ones - giving you a break. Back-Up Care can help when:
- You've relocated away from an elderly relative and can no longer support or provide care
- You've had a last-minute cancellation from your usual caregivers
- You've started a new job or taken on more hours and have less time to provide care for your partner or relative
Please note, each in-home adult care agency must undertake a home assessment prior to care taking place. The purpose is to assess the level of care required and to do a health and safety check on the premises. Please get in touch for more information.
