Pets are Important!

Caregivers - Cape Care Agency - Home based care agency in Cape Town. Elderly care.

PETS ARE IMPORTANT!

We understand the bond that people have with their pets. Their unconditional love and companionship wards off depression and loneliness. Their wagging tail, loving eyes, soft purr or wet little nose adds warmth and meaning to each day.
We are happy to provide a caregiving service for elders that allows them to remain independently in their own home, with their precious pets.

Remaining in one’s own home, with care, enables life to go on as normal, despite incapacity or frailty. Beloved pets, visitors, memorabilia all remain familiar and intact. Our carers have been trained to look at care holistically in the client’s own environment. Basic care duties include assistance with personal hygiene, pressure care, companionship, cooking, light housework and any other individual requirements such as walking the dog, receiving guests, driving and shopping etc.  This enables the client to retain their independence and continue to live according to their own preferences.

Cape Care  provides a friendly and personal care service that enables the frail, 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. The choice of whether to remain at home or not is every person’s right.

LIVE IN CARE

Not all clients require care night and day but do benefit from a carer on the premises 24hrs a day. For this reason we encourage clients to look at the option of having a carer live in the home as a wonderful support and presence.  Live in care necessitates the carer having their own room and being able to get a fairly good night’s rest. However, they are always there if there is an emergency helping the client feel safe and secure.

CARE IN AN INSTITUTION

Sometimes the choice to live in an institution is the right one. However, many health care facilities today are understaffed 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 support care.
