    Frequently Asked Questions

    At what point does someone need elderly care at home?

    Elderly care may be beneficial when daily tasks become difficult to manage independently, mobility declines, health conditions require support, or family carers need additional assistance.

    What is the difference between elderly care and home care?

    Home care is a broad term covering support for people of all ages, while elderly care specifically focuses on the needs of older adults and age-related conditions.

    Many care arrangements can be organised quickly through Curam, including urgent and short-notice requests, subject to local carer availability.

    What happens if my elderly carer is unavailable?

    Families can use Curam's platform to identify and connect with alternative carers, helping ensure continuity of care.

    Can I request a male or female carer?

    Yes. Curam allows you to choose carers based on gender, experience, skills, language, availability, and personal preferences.

    Matching You With a Carer

    Finding the right carer is about more than qualifications alone.
