Elderly Caring FAQ

Every family’s circumstances are different. CURAE starts by understanding the needs of the older person, their preferences, the family’s circumstances and the type of support that may be appropriate.

We can then help you understand the available options and identify a suitable way forward, whether that means care at home, support outside the home, or guidance while you consider your choices.

Elderly care can take different forms depending on a person’s health, independence, daily needs and family circumstances.

Options may include support that enables an older person to remain safely and comfortably at home, as well as services and care arrangements beyond the home when their needs change.

CURAE can help you understand these choices rather than expecting you to know which solution you need before speaking to us.

Care at home may be suitable when an older person wants to maintain their independence and familiar routine but would benefit from additional help with everyday life.

The right level of support depends on the individual, their circumstances and how their needs may be changing. CURAE can help your family consider these factors and understand the home care options available.

Curae’s role is to help families understand their needs and connect them with appropriate elderly care and support.

Rather than approaching care as a one-size-fits-all service, we first seek to understand the person and their circumstances before helping the family explore suitable options and professionals.

The suitability of the person providing care matters as much as the type of support being arranged.

Curae considers the needs and circumstances of the older person when helping families identify appropriate care professionals or providers, with an emphasis on professional standards, reliability, dignity and respectful support.
