Help select the most appropriate type of care A Care Adviser will be able to listen to your situation, explain all of the various care options that exist, including care at home, close care, sheltered accommodation, care homes and care homes with nursing, advise on the advantages and disadvantages of each with specific reference to your situation, discuss each option fully and help you to come to a decision about what is the best type of care for your needs and wishes. Click Here to find out more about our recommended Independent Care Adviser. In any given area of the UK, there are many, many care homes and care agencies. Finding the one that suits your care needs, social needs and budget, with the facilities you want, in the right area and with current vacancies requires an enormous commitment of time and effort. Many people simply cannot devote the necessary time to this search, either because they are elderly themselves or because they are the working sons or daughters of elderly parents. A Care Adviser will carry out all of this research for you, reviewing all of the homes or agencies in your selected area, discarding those that are inappropriate and providing you with a shortlist of maybe four or five care providers that meet your care needs and are as ideal as possible for you. You will then simply visit and choose between these homes or agencies, secure in the knowledge that they are the best for your situation.

The Care Adviser can present the facts independently to the parent, break down the barriers and help the family come to an agreed decision.
