Many people are now realising they need to look for specialised frail care solutions for their future selves or their senior parents. It is impossible to foresee whether you will require medical attention, so planning ahead of time – especially financially – is essential.
Any individual who is unable to do activities of daily life and is unable to function independently requires specialised frail care. This condition can be acute (healing after an injury or sickness, post-hospitalization) or chronic (more commonly linked with elderly age). In these situations, moving into a professional, well equipped frail care facility is frequently the greatest option for ensuring the safest possible environment and the highest possible quality of life.
Specialised frail care vs. home care
Hiring an in-home healthcare provider to spend part or all of the day may be a viable alternative for seniors who would rather not leave the comfort of their own homes. Professional carers will be trained to assist with all aspects of daily life, including personal cleanliness, nourishment, transportation, medication administration, and a variety of other tasks. They may not be prepared to give specialized medical or rehabilitative care, therefore you may still need to go to another medical provider. In-home care is also the most expensive choice for elder care and necessitates a much greater budget. The price tag coupled with no rapid access to expect medical assistance means home care is not suited to many people’s needs and requirements.
Seniors who require round-the-clock care owing to physical or mental impairment are considered frail and their best option tends to be specialised frail care. These individuals are unable to meet their basic requirements and require specialized assistance with everything from personal cleanliness and nourishment to medical treatment. Seniors in frail care may be bedridden or require a wheelchair, and in some situations, they may have advanced dementia that necessitates extra attention. In an all-inclusive, secure, dementia-friendly environment, they will benefit from round-the-clock professional care and medical supervision.

Their caregiver will utilize customized communication and care tactics to overcome obstacles and form a bond that will allow them to meet your loved one’s personal care and companionship needs.
The benefits of specialised frail care
Someone who requires frail care is no longer capable of caring for themselves, therefore having access to a higher degree of care, as well as particular nutritional needs, three meals per day, and laundry and housekeeping services is a must. While frail care may be a brief stay for some, it may be the start of a new chapter in their lives for others. Livewell’s specialized frail care services provide these individuals with a safe environment and the highest possible quality of life.
