Elderly Home Care
Enhancing Independence and Comfort in Worcester, Malvern and surrounding areas.
Elderly Home Care In Your Own Home
At Severn Vale Home Care, we understand that everyone wants to stay independent in their own home for as long as possible. In retirement, you want to stay connected to family, community, and social activities you enjoy. To make the most of life, extra support with everyday tasks can really make a difference. This is in addition to the enjoyment of having someone visit you.
There can be a number of challenges that can hold people back from reaching out for help. Elderly people may have various concerns, such as money or trusting people they haven't met. They might feel uneasy about asking for help or think it's unnecessary. There can be a fear of the unknown.
Caring for elderly parents can be a significant responsibility for their children, especially if they have their own careers and families to look after. Trying to find a solution can be a balancing act.
We believe that it is wrong for anyone to struggle, especially as our bodies age. Ageing is a natural process, and our society has an ageing population. We empathise with the feeling of isolation at home and the sense of having to do everything yourself.
We wanted to create a local home care service to help the Worcester, Malvern, and surrounding communities. You can join the hundreds of local people we've supported and cared for since 2020.
- They'll visit you at home and conduct a care assessment. Within 24 hours of the visit, they will provide you with a care plan to consider.
- If you decide to continue with your care plan, a care professional will come at the agreed-upon times and days.
- If you experience any concerns or problems with your care plan, our office team is available to listen and help. We are as sympathetic and understanding of our clients' views and needs as possible.
At Severn Vale Home Care, we make arranging care easy from your home, improving your life and your family’s quality of life.
We urge elderly people to stop trying to manage on their own if they are struggling. Staying safe in your own home and when you go out is important to everyone around you. Your community, family, and friends value your safety and well-being.
Start with the support you need to live the best quality of life possible.

Home Care Questions & Answers

Biologically, people age at different rates, so there isn't an exact age that describes an elderly person. Some people around the world continue working past the age of 100 because they are healthy and able to do so.
If we wanted to use a benchmark, we could say that the current pension age is around 66 in the UK. So, in theory, someone older than 66 could be considered elderly. However, someone who is 80 could be healthier than someone who is 60 so there isn't an exact age that can be given. Everyone is different and ages differently.
As our bodies age, more support can make a world of difference.
We have an ageing population. By 2025, there will be around 18.5 million people in the UK aged over 60. Worcestershire and surrounding counties are areas of outstanding natural beauty, which make them the perfect area to retire to. Properties are affordable (in comparison to London), and there is a direct train to London. The area has a higher-than-average older population.
