WHY ENTER A CARE HOME?
Some people in the more mature group suddenly find themselves living alone
with few or no visitors at all, they can unknowingly be a burden or a worry
to their family, who, through commitments of their own, cannot attend to
their loving parents needs as much as they would like to. Others are just
lonely and will not admit it.
Being elderly and alone is always a risk. Even though you are in good
health, a slight fall can leave you helpless and this worry will always
be in your childrens' minds.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ………………
Are you eating the correct food, and do you get enough of it?
Is your general health and hygiene being observed?
Are all the bills paid?
Can I go out without worrying about the house?
Do I have someone to laugh with when I return home?
Well, we could go on and on but our main aim is to help you feel comfortable,
happy and cared for and to integrate you into our new family away from
your family.
