Still Unsure? - Your Questions Answered

Perhaps you feel there are some unanswered questions – do you really need to take advice from Grace? Perhaps this will help to answer some of the questions in your mind.

‘Pay to find care? Surely we could do it ourselves for nothing?’
Yes, you could do it yourself for nothing. However, you need to ask yourself a number of key questions. Do you really know how to choose the best care home? Do you really know whether care would be best provided at home or in a care home? Do you have the time to research and visit numerous care homes, many of which might be unsuitable or full? Are you confident you will be paying the right price? Do you know all the available state benefits? If you can’t answer yes to all of these questions, wouldn’t it be best to get some professional help?

Grace Care fees are generally a lot less than just one week’s cost of care, and save you time and worry in arriving at the best answer. Surely this is a small price to pay to maximise your chance of finding the best possible care? And you have the peace of mind of knowing you have covered all the options – and made the right decision.
 

‘I feel it is my duty to find the care myself’
This is an entirely natural feeling. But without experience it is difficult to be sure you know where to look. If your dependent relative will be receiving care at home or living in a care home for a number of years, your real priority surely is to ensure that this care is the best that can be found. The final choice will always be yours, but Grace Care will help you make that choice by presenting all the best options.
 

‘Surely Social Services will sort everything out for us’
Often Social Workers have time and budget constraints, but Grace Care will always be available to guide you through the maze, and can be more proactive in its suggestions for best care.
 

‘How can Grace Care know more about my mother’s wants and needs than I do?’
Grace Care’s Independent Care Advisers are drawn from a wide range of skilled and professional backgrounds such as nursing, counselling and occupational therapy and all are experts in their field. They have specialised in elderly care for many years, providing exactly this type of advice and help to families every day.

The Care Adviser’s role is not to make the decision for you but to help you use your knowledge and understanding of an individual to ensure that you all agree and choose the best way forward.
