Gracious care understands that everyone wants to remain living in their own home, where you are surrounded by all your memories and personal belongings rather than going into a care home. Depending on your circumstances, this might seem like a faint hope but with our support we will probably be able to help you to achieve this.
We all know someone for whom a care home has been the appropriate choice but, in most cases, Gracious Care is able to enable you to stay at home. With the assistance of someone who has similar interests to you, you might just find that the prospect of life at home isn’t as daunting and your Gracious Care companion will be able to give you the little bit of extra support and companionship you need.
Of course, in the case of a dementia diagnosis, an early introduction to our services will mean that there is a much greater possibility and opportunity for acceptance of the extra person around the house as dependency and confusion increases.
