Home is where the heart is

The emotional benefits of at-home care

If we were to count the many benefits of private at-home aged care, we’d be here until the cows come home.

The emotional benefits of at-home care, however, we can realistically begin to unpack.

So, if you’re um-ing and ah-ing over whether to engage a public or private service for yourself (or a loved one), here’s why home is where the heart is.

Preserve your independence and dignity

Independence is a curious thing. Each of us longs for it, and without it, any accomplishment feels watered down.

Dignity is the icing on the cake. Because when an individual has independence and dignity, feelings of pride, contentment and safety are never far behind.

As a private at-home care provider, we understand that. And we would never deem it necessary to tell you how to live your own life, for goodness sake.

With Acquaint, in particular, you’ll continue to live life as wild and free as ever. Only now, you’ll have your very own personal safety net by your side – just in case.

Keep your friends (and family) close

Visiting hours, shmisiting hours.

When you engage a private at-home care service provider like Acquaint, you’ll enjoy an open-door policy for any friends or family members you want to see (and a ‘No, sorry, you’ve got the wrong house’ for any you don’t).

That’s because we know the importance of maintaining close bonds with loved ones as we age. Without it, feelings of loneliness can start to rear their ugly heads.

But not on our watch.

Hold onto your peace of mind

Knowing help is just a metaphorical bell ring away does wonders for peace of mind. (That said, we do typically prefer an ‘excuse me’ or even a 'yoohoo!’)

Private at-home care means no more sleepless nights worrying about potential emergencies. Instead, you’ll enjoy nothing but sweet dreams about your epic win at cards earlier that day.

That’s because you – and your loved ones – will know you’re in safe hands.

Enhance your quality of life

When all is said and done, only one question remains: Are you enjoying your life?

And that can be broken down into many smaller questions, like:

  • Are you doing all the things you love to do?
  • Are you spending time with your family?
  • Are you up-to-date on all your favourite shows?

With the private at-home care at Acquaint, your priorities are our priorities. And we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you never have to compromise on the things that make you happy.

Our private at-home aged care service goes beyond traditional offerings. Our passionate care team is here to help you live life your way. So, if you’re in need of someone to look after you or a loved one – physically, mentally and emotionally – call us on 03 9267 9090.
