Elderly Care

Getting older doesn’t have to mean a loss of independence or leaving the comfort of your home. With private elderly care in the home, you can remain in the place you feel most comfortable with some extra support. Elderly care in your own home is growing in popularity and with the help of direct payments from local councils; you can have more control over your own care.

Utopiacare is an introductory service that helps you to find the best private carers in your area. All the carers on our platform have already been background and DBS checked so that when you hire someone you can focus on personality over paperwork. Utopiacare is the providing of assistance or facilities to support the daily living of the elderly. Care should work around an individual’s life and schedule to cause as little inconvenience as possible.

Carer could help you with:

• Personal and continence care– This category includes showering, toileting, dressing and changing pads if required.
• Medication reminders– Reminding your loved one to take their medication at the correct times of the day.
• General housework– Cooking, cleaning, shopping and all the other tasks that your loved one might be struggling with.
• Companionship care– Making time to have a cup of tea and a chat with your loved one to help ease feelings of loneliness.
• Clinical care– Provisioning specialist support for managing colostomy bags, stomas or ventilators to name a few.
• Moving and Handling– Operating lifts and hoists to help you or your loved one move around the house.

 We’ve listed a few examples of the sort of scenarios that we help people with regularly:

• Light Housework– The first stage of care might be someone needing a bit of help around the house and some companionship for a few hours a week.
• Daily Care– If you or your loved one is struggling to remember to take medication and cook meals then a carer visiting two to three times a day can help manage the situation.
• 24 Hour Care– If you or your loved one are requiring more intensive care and are no longer safe when left alone then a live-in carer can be much more cost-effective than a care home and allow you to remain in the home you love.
