Care at home EDINBURGH vs care homes

Home care Edinburgh – At 1st Focus Homecare, we understand that getting older can be challenging, and some people need assistance to enjoy everyday life and tasks. We believe that the personal touch of home care can make a significant difference. While residential care has its benefits, we strive to replicate these in your home, ensuring you feel reassured and cared for.

Care at home Edinburgh – A person’s care needs vary depending on the person and any illness they live with. We can support you or a loved one in spending time in their own community, close to family and friends, and most importantly, allow them to remain at home to live as independently as possible.

Elderly care at home Edinburgh – Home care offers a range of support services, from personal care and support to respite care for a family member or live-in care for those seeking an alternative to residential care. With home care, you receive one-to-one care, empowering you to be in control of your care plan. In contrast, in a care home, the ratio of carer to service user is higher, potentially limiting the individualised attention you receive.

We can deliver an alternative to a care home, giving everyone involved peace of mind.

Can I arrange my own home care in Edinburgh?

For some families, organising home care and support at home can be daunting, not to mention how they will pay for the care their loved one deserves. Local councils provide their care service, but we deliver a premium care at home service in comparison.

At 1st Focus, we can help you or a family member arrange home care via the local authority. Depending on your needs assessment, you may be eligible for financial support from the local council to cover some or all of the costs involved.

We can advise on direct payments and help you decide whether home care is an affordable alternative to care homes.

We can discuss the costs involved of elderly care at home in Edinburgh and arrange for an assessment of your care needs. The cost of care can, at times, appear high, but we fully understand that some people can manage their own home care. We try to ensure the people using our service remain as independent as possible, and we would never pressure people into paying for more care than they require.

Once we have completed your needs assessment, we can build a home care plan and arrange a carer or personal assistant. If you require emergency care or your family or friends who help require emergency respite care, we can also arrange that.
