The Importance of Elderly Independence

No matter what your age, independence is an important part of our lives. It is instilled within us from the moment we are born and throughout life that we must be independent and then teach others to be independent. When this is threatened to be taken away from you, it can be extremely difficult to accept.

At Kare Plus Redbridge, we give you the opportunity to stay within your home and to maintain as much of your independence as is possible. Even if you or a loved one does require support, it doesn’t mean that your independence has to be completely taken away, and we are here to help you to keep the freedom to be yourself.

You should be free to accept and ask for help on your own terms, without feeling scared or unable to say no. Homecare is a great way to get the support you need, within your own home, on your own terms. Boundaries must always be adhered to and respect is a key aspect in any kind of relationship, including the one that you will have with your carer.

We will always endeavour to tailor our services to meet your exact needs. We know how important independence is and often independence is seen as one of the only things we can control as we get older, and we want to ensure that this control is kept.

The option of living at home does not have to be abandoned due to mental or physical limitation. Choice is of the utmost importance, and this should be maintained throughout life, in a variety of circumstances.

Support is vital, and where you have a support network around you in us, the people and family around you are also important. Spending time with those close us can help to brighten our day. We will always take your needs into consideration and ensure you are able to spend quality times with those who matter the most.

Any help that is needed, no matter how small the task, we are here to ensure that you get the most out of our services. You may need help with cleaning, shopping, cooking however we will always take your choice into account whether you would like to achieve these things independently or with a little help from us. Alternatively, we can fully complete these tasks for you without you needing to worry.

We could help you to engage in activities with other people like you. Such as playing games, walking or eating a meal with a friend.

Impendence bring dignity, control and self-esteem with it, so we wouldn’t want to take this away from you. Quality of life is also set to rise with the maintenance of independence. Enabling and supporting a person to take care of themselves is just as important as taking care of daily tasks as a carer. We are here to do our best to support your needs without being overbearing and again, to ensure that a person’s choice is imperative, and always listened to.
