At this time of the year, when families of elderly loved ones tend to take out of town holidays, organising respite care can be important for welfare and peace of mind.
Miranda Smith Homecare is focusing on reducing any anxiety involved in deciding whether to enlist a carer during summer holidays by providing the first hour of home care free, along with the usual free first-up assessment.
It can often be the elderly individuals, rather than their family members, who are wary about enlisting short term care during times when they may be more isolated than usual.
That can either be because they consider it unnecessary, or are anxious about the carer or services.
It is a situation that is understandable and not unusual, and for those first timers, Miranda Smith Homecare will do all it can to ensure the carer and service is a good fit.
Another initiative to give extra piece of mind is a commitment to make daily check-up phone calls to clients free of charge if those carers are enlisted, for example, only on alternate days.
It is important to Miranda Smith Homecare that clients are comfortable with the carer and services provided.

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
