Introduction

I am passionate about eldercare and the need to better support older New Zealanders to stay in their own homes with quality at home care. I firmly believe that people who remain in their own homes have increased levels of independence, positivity, happiness and longevity.

This blog is for me to:

- Share some of our client's success stories with quality homecare

- Pass on some tips on ways to enable you (or your parents) to stay at home longer

- Express my views on ideas and policies involving the eldercare / aged care industry

ARRANGING CARE FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON

It’s time to start thinking about making sure elderly loved ones are well looked after during the festive season.

The Christmas and New Year break can be a time of anxiety for those trusted with looking after those loved ones, and there are genuine reasons for that.

Demands of looking after visiting friends or relatives can leave little time to tend to the needs of others, and some elderly can find themselves isolated in their homes when outings or routines are disrupted because of the holiday period.

Feelings of selfishness for leaving loved ones at home are common.

Miranda Smith Homecare is well prepared at this time of the year and aims to help take the stress away by offering competitive Christmas packages and free homecare assessments.

Making arrangements to ensure your loved one gets excellent care while you’re away doesn’t need to be difficult, and home-based care is an easy solution.

Miranda Smith Homecare is able to provide tailored, flexible care which can be from as little as two hours a week to 24 hours a day. In addition, our 24 hour on-call service ensures you can check on your loved one whenever you feel the need.
