Home Care Services for Elderly
Hovi Care’s Home Care Services for Elderly provide flexible, private and person-centred care (PCC) in the comfort of your loved one’s home. With over 35 years of experience rooted in Finnish care traditions, we support seniors to live safely, independently, and with dignity — while offering peace of mind and respite care for families.
Our professional caregivers deliver tailored support based on individual needs, preferences, and routines, including assistance with activities of daily living (ADL), companionship, and wellbeing-focused engagement.
What Is Home Care for Elderly?
Home Care for Elderly offers personalised in-home support for seniors who wish to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving professional care. Services are designed to maintain independence, comfort, and quality of life through daily assistance, meaningful interaction, and respectful care relationships.
Care plans are flexible and adapted over time, ensuring the right level of support as needs change.
Who Is Home Care Suitable For?
Our home care services are suitable for:
- Seniors living at home who need support with activities of daily living (ADL)
- Seniors with mobility challenges or reduced physical strength
- Individuals experiencing loneliness or needing companionship
- Seniors with mild memory challenges or early cognitive changes
- Families seeking reliable private care services and caregiver respite
Home care can be short-term or long-term and is always tailored to the individual.
Our Care Approach: Person-Centred & Holistic
At Hovi Care, we follow a person-centred care (PCC) approach — seeing each individual beyond their care needs. We take time to understand personal preferences, life history, routines, and goals, ensuring care feels familiar, respectful, and empowering.
Our care philosophy is inspired by:
- Active Ageing principles, supporting independence and participation
- Evidence-based research such as the FINGER study, which highlights the importance of integrated physical, cognitive, social, and nutritional support
This holistic approach supports overall wellbeing and quality of life at home.
How Home Care Supports Wellbeing
Home care helps seniors and families by:
- Enhancing safety and comfort in familiar surroundings
- Supporting independence through ADL assistance
- Reducing caregiver stress with reliable respite care services
- Encouraging social interaction and emotional wellbeing
- Maintaining daily routines and meaningful engagement
For many families, home care provides reassurance that their loved one is supported with professionalism and compassion.
Combining Home Care with Other Services
Home care can be combined with our centre-based services for more comprehensive support:
- Senior Activity Centre (SCC) — social programmes promoting active ageing
- Dementia Day Care — specialised care for those living with dementia
This flexible approach allows care to adapt as needs evolve.

What is the difference between home care and home nursing?
Home care focuses on providing support with daily living activities, companionship, and wellbeing, helping seniors remain independent and comfortable at home. This may include assistance with ADL, meal preparation, mobility support, and social engagement.
Home nursing, on the other hand, involves medical care delivered by licensed nurses, such as wound care, injections, or medical monitoring prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Hovi Care’s home care services focus on supportive, person-centred care that promotes independence and quality of life.
Do caregivers assist with mobility and fall prevention?
Yes. Our caregivers can assist seniors with safe mobility and fall prevention as part of their daily care routine. This may include helping with walking, transferring from bed to chair, supervising movement around the home, and encouraging safe exercise and physical activity.
Supporting mobility helps reduce fall risks and enables seniors to remain active and confident in their daily routines.
Are home care services suitable after hospital discharge?
Yes. Home care services can be very helpful after hospital discharge, especially when seniors need additional support during recovery. Caregivers can assist with daily routines, mobility, medication reminders, and monitoring overall wellbeing while the individual regains strength and independence.
Home care can also provide reassurance to families during the recovery period.
Can helpers or family members work together with caregivers?
Yes. Our caregivers are happy to work alongside family members or domestic helpers to support the senior’s care routine. Collaboration helps ensure continuity of care and allows everyone involved to understand the individual’s preferences, routines, and needs.
This team approach supports person-centred care (PCC) and helps create a comfortable and supportive environment for the senior.
