Why choose Kare Plan opposed to a Nursing Home?

1. When we are not feeling well , all anyone wants is to be at home with their own surroundings and in the comfort of their own bed.
2. Family members can come visit and stay giving reassurance to their loved ones, also in the case where an elderly spouse is at home they are not separated.
3. It has been proven that people heal much faster at home.
4. Home care is less expensive than a Nursing Home.
5. Home care gives patients the freedom to live their lives as indepent as they wish.

A home is where you feel most safe it is a place where memories are made and being surrounded by personal belongings like photos/ornaments/furniture maybe your favorite chair or watching your favourite program on TV or listening to a favorite show on the radio, having family, friends or neighbors call in, helps give comfort to an elderly or disabled person.

 

When do I need to introduce Home Care?

1. Is your loved one unsteady on their feet or suffering with poor mobility?
2. Is your loved one becoming forgetful?

9. Is your loved one taking their medication as prescribed to them at the correct times?
