2

Less food in the fridge or skipped meals

3

Withdrawal from friends, clubs or faith groups

4

Worry about falls when going out alone

5

A family carer who feels stretched and tired

Choosing the Right Path

Home care or a residential care home?

Residential care home

Staff on site day and night, along with meals and housekeeping. It suits people who need constant supervision.

Best for constant supervision

Home care

Suits people who are mostly safe at home and want to keep their own routines, neighbours and belongings. Many families try home care first and review it as needs change.

Best for independence at home

Questions to help you decide

Does the person want to stay at home?

Are they safe between visits?

Can family help in an emergency?
