About Joy4Caring

 

Our Story and Our Philosophy

Hello! My name is Agi

 

I bring nearly 20 years of dedicated experience in caregiving to the table. At 42 years old, I have had the privilege of working as a carer in the beautiful Algarve region for many years.

After many fulfilling years in caring, I took the leap to establish my own business, Joy4Caring, which I proudly operate alongside my husband Robert, who is a business manager with many years’ experience, and who expertly handles the internal operations. Our venture is supported by a wonderful team of skilled and compassionate carers who share our vision.

Throughout my extensive career, I have found immense joy in assisting individuals and families in fulfilling their unique personal needs. No request is ever too small or too large for us, whether it involves a simple weekly grocery shop or comprehensive 24-hour personalised care. It is truly rewarding for me to ensure that all of my clients’ needs are addressed so they can experience peace of mind and comfort in their daily lives.

Our Carers

Our Home Carers are individuals who are highly experienced in providing care and support to people in their own homes, typically the elderly or those with disabilities. Joy4Caring employs Carers with proven work experience and a blank criminal record. They work independently insured with a valid third-party risk cover.

Our Carers provide a wide range of services, including personal care (such as bathing, grooming, and toileting), meal preparation, medication management, light housekeeping, transportation, and companionship.

The role of home carers is becoming increasingly important as the population ages and more people require assistance with daily living tasks. Joy4Caring offers a more cost-effective and preferable option to residential care, as it allows individuals to remain in their own homes and maintain their independence for as long as possible.

The Joy4Caring Carers have varying levels of training and qualifications, depending on the country and region they have worked in. They either have completed formal training programs, while others may have learned on the job. 

Joy4Caring advantages

Our clients keep their independence

Our clients are the ones of many who want to keep some of their independence as they advance in age. This is particularly true for seniors who live alone. Joy4Caring services offer this kind of freedom to our clients.

Professional and experienced carers will assist and allow the clients to continue living following the schedule they are used to and doing the activities they need and value. Joy4Caring helps to perform daily tasks such as cooking, eating, exercise. sleeping, and bathing. Our clients can continue with their social activities and weekly errands, but with the aid of the private home care of Joy4Caring.

Our clients can stay in the comforts of their own homes

Home care services allow the client to stay in their own home whilst getting all the care and attention they need. It has been proven repeatedly that people feel better and heal faster when they are in a familiar place, surroundings, or environment.

It has also been proven that when people of a certain age can stay in their homes home while someone provides the daily and clinical assistance they need, this will help make them feel comfortable, safe, and secure. The familiarity and comfort of sleeping in your own bed, relaxing on your favourite settee/wingchair whilst continuing the daily activities are significant in making our clients feel better and live happier and longer.

Familiar surroundings are essential for instance for someone who has dementia or other memory-related conditions.

Clients remain close to their familiar surroundings

Our clients who are not in a nursing home or other similar facilities can be visited as regularly as they desire. This will make our clients feel connected with the rest of the family, their relatives and friends.

We are aware of how important it is for its clients to stay close and connected to them. There are no restrictions on visiting hours, and there are no rules or visiting restrictions. The communication lines are always open.

Injured or ill clients can enjoy a faster recovery

The comfort, convenience, and familiarity of his home will help a client to recover faster from an injury or illness. Their self-esteem is improved because  they know their environment: where they are, where to go , where certain things are kept and  where to sit and relax. They won’t be surrounded by people they don’t know.

We help clients recover faster because they are less likely to be exposed to germs and other sources of infections or illnesses, which are very common in medical facilities.

Clients will benefit from our carers and their companionship

According to some studies and research clients of a certain age need regular social interaction for their health to be in its best condition. Often the family can’t be there every day to talk to them or do activities together, so the family is comforted with the fact that the carer is with them at all times. This allows them to establish a connection, and to build a strong relationship based on care and companionship.

Our carers do not mind pets

Our clients can keep their pet, or get one. If our clients have a pet that they treat like a family member, they normally would not be able to take their friend to the medical or nursing home. When you hire Joy4Caring, the client will stay home and therefore can keep their pet.

Pet companionship offers a lot of benefits for the elderly. It helps our clients to relax, stay happy, and keep away negative thoughts and feelings. Pets are also a big help in reducing the risks of heart disease.

Joy4Caring can provide all support needed

The main care activities that we provide on a day-to-day basis are: meal preparation and feeding, toileting, bathing and grooming, continence, functional transfers, and dressing/undressing.

Our carers will help our clients to do all of this, providing them with the assistance and encouragement they need. Being able to continue doing these activities will help our clients feel useful and confident.

If more specialised support is required, Joy4Caring can arrnage that.

We ensure proper nutrition and diet support and guidance

Proper nutrition and the correct diet are essential for the overall well-being of our clients. Whether our clients have high blood pressure or diabetes they all need healthy, balanced nutrition.

A contract with Joy4Caring includes nutritional guidance and counselling. This is an assurance that our clients will have – instead of packaged food, our clients will enjoy nutrition-rich home-cooked dishes.

Joy4Caring is cost-effective

Compared to nursing home rates, Joy4Caring is very cost-effective. Medical, nursing and residential facilities charged on a per-day basis by nursing homes average at more than 500 – 600 Euro per day.

Joy4Caring offer competetive flexible rates, generally charged on a per-hour basis. Part-time rates are also available for those looking for part-time in-home care.
