WHY HOME CARE INSTEAD OF RESIDENTIAL CARE SERVICES?

As mentioned, there are many different types of home and private care services that we provide, ranging from domiciliary care to senior care. There have been a lot of studies that have suggested that people prefer to live in their own home rather than going to a private residential care home when they get any disability. This is because they feel comfortable in their own home and they want to maintain a level of independence. This is something that the live-in carer can help you to achieve. After all, moving to a new home can be stressful for anyone. When you couple this with the fact that you will be moving into a residential care facility, with set visiting times, set meals, and set routines, it is not hard to see why someone would not be overly excited about this. However, it is important to realise that residential care homes are not the only option. You can still enjoy life with your loved one to get the care and assistance that you deserve without making your move into one of the private care homes. In home care means that you will be able to keep to the same daily routines as usual and that friends and family members will still be able to visit you as they would usually do. The only difference is it you will have an experienced carer who will be there to provide a regulated service. This means that they will provide you with all the help and assistance that you need, like you would get in residential homes, so that you can live a happy and healthy life in your home without having to rely on residential care homes.

Enjoy the company of well mannered, highly skilled and entertaining carers of your choice At Affection Disability Care (ADC), we not only focus on the service side of in-home care (professionalism, safety, quality standards, etc), but also put a lot of emphasis on the relationship between you and your carers. We try our best to provide compassionate services as well. A best quality services without friendly gestures is not as effective as a standard services with smiles.

That’s because successful in-home care is greatly dependent on whether or not you like your carer/s. Those relationships are too important to compromise, which is why we carefully match our clients and carers.

It is really important to us that you feel comfortable with your carers. After all, you’re welcoming these people into your home and trusting them to care for you, sometimes in high privacy. You’ll be seeing them regularly, probably every day. That’s why it’s our concern that you enjoy their company at all times.

When you choose ADC as your service provider, we spend time getting to know you. We ask about your hobbies, interests, family, professional background, culture and values.

With the experience of many, we’ve learnt that no two clients are alike. Maybe you’re lively and mischievous. Maybe you’re quiet and thoughtful. Spending time with you helps us work out which carers are likely to be on your perception.

This is the other side of the same coin. People are remarkably diverse. With every new appointment, we ask our staff about their likes and dislikes and note them down on their paperwork. As we work with them, we learn more about them – whether they serious, jolly, whether they like the company or prefer a good book instead, what makes them laugh, what motivates and inspires them.

We pair you with at least two to three carers who are likely to be a well suited for you. That means that, even if your favourite carer is on holiday, you’ll still be looked after by someone you’re comfortable with. After carefully pairing you with the most suitable carers, we then make sure you receive continual care from those people. We carefully schedule our rosters to allocate best carers for our clients, sometimes we don’t get it right the first time. So, if you’re not comfortable with your allocated carers, please let us know. We’re more than happy to try a different carer and see if that person suits you better. We want you to be comfortable and relaxed with your carers. In our experience, it’s relatively unusual for a service provider to put so much emphasis on matching clients and carers. Maybe it’s unusual in your experience too. Perhaps your current provider just assigned your carers without even asking you about the sort of people you’d feel at ease with. The end result is that you groan inwardly every time a certain carer appears at your door.

Our cares are very well trained to understand and comply with the specific needs of our clients. We can also provide personalised residential care support to suit you. This includes companionship. Often, our carers will become more like companions and friends, as they will provide emotional support, share special moments, and enjoy meals together.

While being supported by ADC, you would always have a choice about the carers you have and the people who come into your home. While working to match the client-carers mix, we also take into account;

• Client’s Medical Needs vs. the Caregiver’s Qualifications.
• Client’s Physical Needs vs. the Caregiver’s Physical Ability.
• Client’s Home Environment vs. the Caregiver’s Work Environment.
• Personality of the Client vs. the Personality of the Caregiver.
• Gender of the Client vs. the Gender of the Caregiver.
• The Language/Culture of the Client vs. the Language/Culture of the Caregiver.

For a sustainable services and a continual caregiver/client matches, we appreciate our carers to posses the following attributes:

• Posses the helping attitude even when away from the client.
• Put all ears to client. Some clients, prefer to do all the talking. In such a case, do your best to listen well before interjecting, which could      cause them to forget what they were going to say.  
• Serve with empathy. Caregivers should consider what it would look like to them in a similar situation in order to attempt to understand      their situation or source of anger.     
• Be patient with clients, and remember that their anger is not aimed at you as much as it is with his/her situation.
