Elderly Care Services
Ageing can be a beautiful chapter of life — filled with stories, memories, and the comfort of routine. But as the years go by, certain tasks that once felt easy can become difficult. Whether it is bending down to tie a shoe, preparing a warm meal, or remembering when to take medication, even small changes in ability can affect daily living.
That is where Classic Carers comes in. Our elderly care services are designed to help older adults live safely and comfortably in their own homes. We provide compassionate, respectful assistance that supports independence — not replaces it. Every care plan is built around the individual, because no two lives or needs are the same.
Learn MoreWhy Home-Based Elderly Care Matters
Remaining in one’s own home as they grow older is something most people deeply value. It is not just about familiarity — it is about dignity, control, and peace of mind. Home-based care allows older adults to:
- Stay close to their community and family
- Maintain daily routines and independence
- Avoid the stress of moving into residential care
- Receive one-on-one personalised support
- Recover more comfortably after illness or injury
Elderly care at home bridges the gap between needing occasional help and requiring full-time assistance. Whether it is a few hours a week or daily visits, our services adapt to meet changing needs over time.
Who We Support
Classic Carers supports a wide range of individuals and family arrangements, including:
- Older adults living alone with mobility issues or memory decline
- Couples who want to remain together but need daily assistance
- Families needing respite or relief from caregiving
- Older individuals returning home after a hospital stay
- Clients managing long-term conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or vision loss
Whether someone needs gentle encouragement getting out of bed or full-time personal care, our team is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions: Elderly Care Services
Find answers to common questions about our elderly care services.
What are elderly care services?
Elderly care services provide at-home support for older adults who may need help with personal care, meals, mobility, or emotional wellbeing. The goal is to allow individuals to stay independent and safe in their own home.
What is the difference between domiciliary care and elderly care?
Domiciliary care is the formal term for care provided at home. Elderly care is a type of domiciliary care that specifically focuses on supporting older adults with age-related needs.
Can you support someone with mild dementia?
Yes. Our carers are trained to work with individuals experiencing early memory loss or mild cognitive decline. We offer gentle reminders, consistent routines, and reassuring companionship.
Is overnight care available?
Absolutely. We offer both sleep-in and waking-night care to provide safety, comfort, and assistance during the night for those who may be prone to waking or disorientation.
How soon can care start?
We can often begin care within a few days of the initial assessment. In urgent cases, we aim to start as quickly as possible, depending on availability and carer match.
