As our loved ones age, ensuring they receive the right level of care becomes not only a priority but a heartfelt responsibility. At Alderberry Care, we’re dedicated to offering personalised, high-quality home care services designed to meet the evolving needs of older adults—right in the comfort of their own homes.
Understanding Elderly Home Care
Elderly home care refers to professional support services delivered to individuals in their own residences. These services aim to promote independence, comfort, and dignity. At Alderberry Care, our offerings include:
Personal Care: Helping with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, and dressing.
Companionship: Reducing loneliness with friendly, regular visits and conversations.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care: Expert support tailored to memory-related conditions.
Live-in Care: Continuous, 24-hour assistance for those with higher needs.
Respite Care: Temporary support for families and primary carers who need a break.
Palliative Care: Compassionate end-of-life care focusing on comfort and dignity.
Our flexible approach means care can begin within 24 hours of your initial assessment, anywhere across the UK.
Funding Elderly Care in the UK
Navigating care funding can feel overwhelming, but several options are available to support families. Here’s a breakdown of the most common sources:
Your local council may help cover care costs based on a means test. If eligible, you can opt for direct payments, giving you control over your care provider. Learn more from the NHS guide on care and support.
For individuals with significant medical needs, the NHS may fully fund care through Continuing Healthcare. This requires a thorough health assessment. For more, visit the NHS CHC page.
A non-means-tested benefit for those over 65 who need help due to a disability or illness. This can go towards care costs regardless of income. Check eligibility on GOV.UK.
If you provide 35+ hours of unpaid care weekly, you may qualify for Carer’s Allowance. Details are available here.
These NHS-funded budgets allow individuals to manage care expenses directly, offering greater choice and control. Learn more from the NHS Personal Health Budgets page.
For those not eligible for public assistance, private options include:
Equity Release
Immediate Needs Annuities
Savings & Investments
Always consult with a financial advisor to make informed decisions based on your circumstances.
