What is Home-Based Care?
Home-based care encompasses a wide range of healthcare and support services provided directly in the comfort of an individual’s own home.
​
Whether it's for short-term needs like post-surgical recovery or long-term care for individuals with chronic conditions, disabilities, or the elderly, home-based care offers a flexible and personalized approach.
The Benefits of Home-Based Care
Although home-based care may sometimes be more costly than facility care, the advantages of one-on-one support make it an appealing option for many. Here’s why:
​
Why Choose Home-Based Care?
​
-
Personalized Attention
Home-based care offers a truly individualized approach. Caregivers focus entirely on one person, adjusting their care based on the individual's evolving needs and preferences. This level of attention ensures the highest quality of care.
​
-
Comfort and Familiarity
Remaining at home offers a sense of comfort and continuity, especially for those with cognitive impairments like dementia. The familiar surroundings can reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to improved mental and emotional well-being.
​
-
Flexibility
Care plans in home-based care can be tailored to the individual’s schedule and preferences. Whether it’s adjusting the level of care or changing daily routines, this flexibility ensures that the care provided fits seamlessly into their life.
​
-
Independence
Home-based care allows seniors to maintain their independence. They can continue engaging in their usual routines, fostering a sense of autonomy and significantly enhancing their quality of life.
​
-
Family Involvement
This type of care often encourages family participation, ensuring the care plan is in harmony with the individual’s values and preferences. Family members can stay closely involved, offering support and strengthening relationships.
​
-
Personal Privacy
For those who value their privacy, home-based care is ideal. It provides a more private setting compared to a communal facility, allowing individuals to maintain their personal space and dignity.
​
-
Improved Health Outcomes
Research suggests that home-based care leads to enhanced long-term health outcomes compared to care facilities, allowing elderly individuals to live healthier, happier lives.​​

We have been using carers from Dolphin Coast Care for 7 months now. Storm and Sophie are both so kind and caring, going the extra mile for us, making us feel like the most important people in the world. This goes for both my husband the patient, and myself, giving me so much love and support. Their carers, and especially Phumzile, are awesome - so professional, knowledgeable and very very kind. I honestly don't know what we would have done (and still would do, without them). Please save yourself the trouble of shopping around, just contact them first.

I cannot rate Dolphin Coast Care high enough. They provided compassionate care for my father with bad dementia. Not only did they go out of their way to keep good communication lines at all times but they were very supportive with an approach that made the whole family feel at ease. Their service levels were outstanding and above all they were kind, compassionate and highly professional.

I would like to compliment Dolphin Coast Care for the quality staff they supply. Our carer is always on time, very thorough, friendly and helpful. She has been utterly caring and helpful all the way. Nothing is to much for her to do. I can recommend her and the Company any time. Thank you Storm and Sophie you are tremendous. Thank you Phumzile you are a star.
