This is individual care as it should be: it supports your lifestyle, promotes your well-being and gives you the company and security you need. With noracares.at, you can shape your life exactly the way you want it - with care that is focused on your well-being and satisfaction.

What does individual care mean?

Caregiver prepares healthy meal in the kitchen for senior citizen. Care and healthy nutrition in the home environment.

 

Individual care is all about you. Imagine you love cooking, but Arthritis makes it difficult. A dedicated caregiver can help you prepare your favorite dishes and give you back the joy of cooking. In contrast to general care, which follows standardized procedures, individual care adapts to your personal wishes, needs and routines - recorded in a care plan created especially for you.

So you stay engaged in the activities you enjoy, get the support you need, and continue to pursue the passions that enrich your life.

 

Eloise's story: Discovering new joy through care

Senior citizen and caregiver working together in the greenhouse. Gardening activity for older people to promote happiness and health.

 

Eloise was once a passionate gardener who tended to her plants daily until her health made it difficult to go out on her own. With the support of an empathetic caregiver, she now enjoys walks through her garden again, while her caregiver helps her carry gardening tools, bends over for her and chats with her about her favorite flowers. These shared moments not only give Eloise back the joy of gardening, but also create a real bond of trust and friendship that gives her joy, comfort and strength.

 

Forms of individual care: caregiver vs. caregiver

  • CaregiverImagine you come home after a long day and need a warm bath and medical attention. A qualified nurse helps you bathe, prepares your medication, checks your vital functions and treats wounds if necessary. Caregivers bring extensive medical knowledge to support your physical health and meet your medical needs.
  • Caregiver:Imagine a quiet afternoon enjoying a cup of tea with a companion who listens while you reminisce about good times or reads your favorite book to you. Companions provide emotional support and social interaction, alleviate loneliness and promote your general well-being.

Many people combine the services of caregivers and companions, creating a balanced care system that meets both physical and emotional needs.

 

Important differences in education

  • Nurse: Caregivers have medical certificates that allow them to administer medication, treat wounds and monitor your health.
  • Caregiver: Caregivers focus on daily support and household management and are often trained in eldercare and emotional support.

 

Keeping physical and emotional health in balance

With noracares you can choose the care that exactly meets your needs, be it physical support, emotional support or both.

  • Caregiver: Focus on medical support and health care.
  • Caregiver: Focus on social interaction and emotional well-being.
