FRAIL CARE FOR
ELDERLY PARENTS IN THEIR OWN HOMES IN CAPE TOWN - ASSISTANCE FROM A CARER
Often elderly or disabled Clients are daunted by the prospect of
travelling alone and so miss out on wonderful opportunities. We
offer care in hotels / holiday accommodation as well as Carers who
can accompany Clients on their travels.
The Cape Care Agency provides a friendly and personal care service
that enables the elderly or disabled client to continue to live
independently in his/her own home.
Depending on the individual needs and health needs of the client,
care may be provided on a full or part time basis ie. from 3 hours
to 24 hours per day.
Clients and carers are assessed regularly and both receive ongoing
support.
The security of elderly parents at their homes in the Southern
Suburbs of Cape town is our primary focus at the moment.

In
the modern day hospital patients are discharged as soon as
possible. We can provide post operative or respite care in the
Clients own home where recovery is often hastened by being in a
familiar environment.
We currently work very successfully with community nursing sisters who are called in should the care situation require medical intervention or supervision.
Sometimes the choice to live in
an institution is the right one. However many health care
facilities today are under staffed and unable to give
attention to the specific needs of the client. Our Carers work
very successfully in these facilities providing one on one
care and giving the client the assistance they need. The
service we provide currently ranges from driving a client to
an appointment and companionship to 24 hour care.
Remaining in one’s own home means that life goes on as
normal despite incapacity or frailty. Beloved pets,
visitors, memorabilia all remain familiar and in tact. Our
Carers have been trained to look at care holistically in
the Clients own environment. Duties could include walking
the dog, cooking, tidying the linen cupboard, receiving
guests etc. This enables the Client to retain their
independence and continue to live according to their own
rules.
We believe that this is everyone’s rite.
