Our team of highly experienced staff are dedicated to finding the perfect carer for your unique needs. We have a stringent vetting and interview process, designed to ensure we only work with the best carers.
Our services include providing live-in care, senior care, housekeeping and more. We understand that hiring a senior carer for yourself or for a family member or loved one can be daunting, especially if you've never done it before. We aim to take all the stress and guesswork out of the process and to find you the perfect carer as soon as possible. We even offer you the opportunity to interview any potential carers yourself before you commit to hiring.
What is expected from a senior carer?
There is no one rigid job description for our senior carers - both they and we understand that each client's needs are unique. Senior carers provide bespoke care in the client's own home, enabling the client to continue living the life they know and love to the fullest with minimal disruption. The services provided by a senior carer vary from client to client and from day to day, but generally include the following:
- assistance with personal care, including bathing and dressing
- grocery shopping
- preparing and cooking meals
- general housework, including laundry and keeping the home clean and tidy
- accompanying the client to social events
- helping with hobbies and other activities
- providing companionship and support on a daily basis
Of course, this is not an exhaustive list and carers can offer many other services.
Benefits of hiring a senior carer
Hiring a senior carer allows you or your loved one to remain in the home for as long as possible. Moving into a residential care home can be an extremely disruptive and upsetting experience for both the individual and their loved ones. Hiring a carer allows our client to remain in the home, close to friends and neighbours.
It also means that pets can remain in the home, and carers will be able to help with pet care - such as walking dogs - if required. Senior carers in Sevenoaks allow our clients to retain as much independence as possible, while ensuring they receive assistance with the daily tasks they might struggle with alone.
