Home Care: Agency Carers Now Provide Services to Holidaymakers Visiting Cyprus

June 19, 2011 - PRLog -- CYPRUS – Aphrodite Carers Agency is a provider of premium temporary health care services. Their agency  connects those individuals who are in need of support for the disabled or elderly with professional, qualified caring staff. They believe that by employing competent and well-educated staff and providing them with organized and responsive management, they can provide a package of services to allow holidaymakers the caring support they need.

A Demand for Temporary Agency Care

Aphrodite Carers Agency was created to fill the need for structured professional temporary care services in Cyprus. Until now, holidaymakers with disabled or those travelling with elderly family members would need to bring their carers with them. “Our agency allows families to holiday in Cyprus with their entire family even if they need additional assistance to care for one of the family members.”, Kaite Christoforou – Owner. Cyprus is a highly desired holiday destination for British and other European families and has been traditionally passed over because of the lack agency care.

The Need to Reduce Cost

Local agency care reduces the costs of support for those travelling on holiday. Aphrodite Carers Agency allows those travelling to accurately budget for care and the total cost of travelling with their loved ones. They can also work with other organizations such as charities and trusts to provide a cost effective holiday location for the individuals they serve. “We love Cyprus, but one of the biggest obstacles to coming here on holiday was the cost of bringing along carers to help my brother.”, says Nicola Evans, who’s adult brother is wheel chair bound and needs carers to assist him with even the simplest of every day tasks. “Aphrodite Carers Agency has helped us reduce the costs of our holiday by allowing us to use local carers for only the times we need.”

Growth in the Market

According to the Cyprus Statical Service, the number of persons over the age of 65 in 2000 was 11,300 and in 2010 over 14,000, and more these individuals are opting to stay in their own homes longer and return home following hospitalization, rather than employing a live in attendant or proceeding to a nursing home. Aphrodite Carers Agency primary growth market segment includes those patients -- typically in an older age bracket -- who require health care services by home health staff. These patients may also require other home health services, such as social work, in order to access needed community resources, transportation or other assistance such as shopping. Their secondary growth market will be those individuals who have suffered a personal injury or illness and require recuperative assistance or nursing services to help them in addressing medical, social and home support issues to reduce loss and suffering while they recover from injury, medical treatment or illness.
