Care on Call - It's good to be home!

Companionship, Respite, Meal Preparation, Personal Care, Home Help, Housekeeping

Seniors who are able to stay independently in their own homes and familiar surroundings tend to live fuller, happier and longer lives than those who enter rest homes or care facilities too early.

Naturally most people would like to stay in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible but sometimes day-to-day tasks seem just too much to manage alone. When it comes to this point, a rest home or retirement village  often appears to be the only feasible option available –

However a little help with everyday tasks can make all the difference, and this is where Care on Call can step in. By providing help with these everyday tasks and taking up some of the burden Care on Call provides a feasible and cost effective  option for people to remain independent and live where they’re happiest. Furthermore Care on Call provides families with the comfort that their loved ones are being well looked after

North Shore couple Denise and Greg Morris own Care on Call, and they are committed to providing seniors with practical and affordable assistance in their day to day lives, enabling them to stay in their own familiar environment.

Greg explains how flexible the service is. “Everyone has different needs at different stages of their life, and we offer a service that’s individually tailored to meet exactly what our clients and often their families  need most at this point.”

Whether it’s companionship, personal care, housekeeping, respite care, medication reminders, meal preparation or  incidental transport, Care on Call can provide what’s required. Services may be provided as often or as occasionally as someone needs – just a few hours a week, once a day, overnight or 24 hours; whatever gives independence and enables people to feel safe and happy in their own home.


 
It’s all about maintaining lifestyles and giving alternatives. “By remaining independent and in control, seniors can enjoy a far better quality of life,” says Greg. “Our staff are all fully trained and thoroughly vetted, and we invest a lot of care in matching clients and companions to ensure maximum compatibility because we want the relationship to be a success.”

When people live alone things sometimes get overlooked. People may cut corners on nutrition, feel lonely or depressed – and with no-one else on the spot such issues may go unnoticed. Regular home-based care means that important issues like these get picked up on quickly.

Families need to know that their loved ones are safe and happy and are enjoying a safe and good quality of life. The services that Care on Call provide ensures peoples’ safety and well-being in the best way possible.

Denise, Greg, or Kaye, our Care Liaison Manager are happy to call around to your home for a no-obligation discussion about whether home-based care is right for you and your family.
