Why People Prefer Homecare to Care Homes 

October 27, 2023

When it’s time for your loved one to consider professional care, you want to find a business that is professional, considerate, and respectful. You naturally want to have the best carers in the industry for your loved one. That is why we started Platinum Care. We have a strong team who have been fully trained and qualified to give your loved one the best care.  

In this article, we are going to be sharing our views on why people prefer homecare as opposed to care homes. So, without further ado, let’s get started. 

Your Loved One Gets to Stay in Their Home 

The first reason and is a major reason why people choose homecare is that your loved one can stay in their home. This way they are comfortable and familiar with the environment. Alongside this, your loved one can still plan their activities locally to their home, which is relieving to hear for a lot of patients and their families. 

More Freedom 

Similar to the first point, homecare is more freeing. This means that your loved one can continue with their hobbies and routines as they would before professional care but with the added support of a carer. 

Precise And Personalised Care 

The great thing about choosing homecare is that your loved one can have a bespoke care routine that works for them. Another huge bonus point is that improves the patient’s quality of life. Personalised care gives your loved one the chance to receive care that suits their lifestyle. We also feel that by integrating a customised care plan, your loved one is respected and listened to. 

Family and Friends Can Visit Whenever They Like 

Another benefit to homecare and our last one for this post is that family and friends are able to visit as many times as they like and at any time during the day. This is a huge contrast to care homes as they usually follow a strict visitation schedule so it’s great that homecare allows the option of patients seeing their families and friends a lot more frequently.
