Discover the benefits of homecare vs care homes....and why personalised care at home can offer more safety, dignity, and independence for older adults.
More families are choosing homecare
More people are choosing care at home to keep their loved ones safe, independent, and surrounded by the comforts of familiar surroundings.
Safety first
Studies by NICE in 2019 (revised in 2024) highlighted a higher risk of falls in care home residents who are three times more likely to fall than some-one living in their own home.
The Benefits of Care at Home
From one-to-one support and personalised routines to greater dignity and comfort, homecare puts your loved one at the heart of their care.
Cost Considerations: Is Homecare More Affordable?
While care homes charge all-inclusive fees, homecare can be more flexible and cost-effective — from one hour per day to 24 hour live-in care.
When Might a Care Home Be Necessary?
In some cases — i.e. nursing needs - a care home may be an option, but it’s important to explore all choices first.
Making the Right Choice for Your Family
Whether you're just starting to explore care or need immediate support, we're here to help you make the decision that feels right for your loved one.
Stay in the comfort of your own home with tailored support
When you receive care at home, everything is built around you and your personal needs and habits — from mobility support and nutrition to daily routines and safe movement around the house.
A professional home carer can:
• Help you move safely around your home.
• Spot early signs of unsteadiness or infection.
• Ensure your home is free from hazards.
• Prepare nutritious meals and keep you hydrated.
• Encourage gentle movement and activity to maintain strength and balance.
• Notice and respond to risks before they lead to a fall.
Families benefit from consistent communication, updates and peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving the best care tailored to them, not a timetable.
