97% of senior citizens prefer to stay at their own home rather than to move to care homes, when they need full time care. Using proprietary logistical technology, Elder can get a pre-qualified carer – matched on individual needs and personality – to any location in the UK within 48 hours.
The company has delivered more than 350,000 days of care in more than 300 towns and cities across the UK to date.
“If you look at what’s happening in the UK at the moment, it’s an industry in crisis. The number of over-85s in the UK is set to nearly double to three million by 2043. We will expand Elder’s service, that even more people all over UK can make sure their loved ones get to remain happy, independent and supported in their own home rather than being forced out of it. Elder provides a genuine approach to live-in elderly care that can also scale.”
