Short Stay Care offers families in Edinburgh the support they need to take care of a family member when they are going on holiday for a week or two. This can also be used if an elderly person’s regular carer falls ill and short-term care is needed for a few days or even a few weeks.
Temporary home care
Nobody likes hospitals, so why not have the hospital come to you? Hospital at Home is a relatively new concept of providing acute health condition support at home.
Hospital to Home is a service that allows the elderly to leave hospital in Edinburgh safely and receive the support they need to get settled back into their home after a short or long-term hospital stay.
Emergency respite care offers families the support they need to take care of an elderly family member when a family carer may need a break for a holiday, has become ill or has to take care of work commitments.
Short-term live-in care can provide seniors and their families with much-needed support. This type of care is flexible and can be beneficial when a senior is returning home from the hospital or if a family carer needs some respite from caring.
As our parents and loved ones get older, their care needs often become more demanding, and this means a level of care that can be very challenging for family members to provide personally. Temporary home care has become an increasingly popular option for families in Edinburgh who need some form of short-term assistance, whether due to the temporary unavailability of a family member or the need for specialised care following a hospital stay due to illness or surgery. This article explores the various options, the importance of companionship care, and the benefits of taking temporary home care for an elderly relative.
