When we created Pairly, we wanted to offer our users as much help as possible to navigate the care world. With people new to care in mind, we developed our care estimator. Our care estimator is a handy tool that simplifies understanding the ‘care at home’ that you might need. It will ask you a series of questions and give you an idea of the type of care that will suit you or your loved one.
Which Care?
There are a few different options to choose from when it comes to care. Below are some examples of the care available:
Residential & Nursing
A team provides residential care in a residential care home. Nursing care homes are slightly different. They employ medically trained nurses alongside their care assistants.
Home Care Provider
Home care providers will support and care for you in your own home. They can come for short or long visits with varying frequency. Home Care providers can help with everything from personal care to shopping.
Private Care Assistant
A private carer is someone you employ to support you with everyday activities.
Live-in Care
Live-in care gives you around-the-clock support in your own home. For this type of care, your carer will live in your home.
