Our Approach

Care That Sees the Whole Person

Our philosophy goes beyond physical tasks. We care for seniors the way we would want our own parents to be cared for.

Dignity First

Ageing is not a weakness. Every senior in our care is treated with the same dignity, respect, and courtesy they have earned over a lifetime. Our caregivers are trained to preserve autonomy wherever possible — never doing for a person what they can do themselves.

Family as Partner

The family is not a bystander — they are an active part of the care team. We design communication channels so that family members, whether in Lagos or London, remain fully informed and genuinely involved in every care decision.

Whole-Person Wellbeing

Physical health is only one dimension of wellbeing. Our caregivers are encouraged to engage seniors mentally — through conversation, reminiscence, music, prayer, or activities that reflect each individual's life and interests.

Six Care Options

Client Stories

What Elder Care Families Say

The caregiver you sent for my mother is an angel. She's patient, kind, and keeps mom engaged. From London, I get weekly updates that give me peace of mind.

After dad's stroke, we didn't know what to do. COHCASEL arranged specialized care within 48 hours. The improvement in his quality of life is remarkable.

Mrs. Ibrahim

Managing care for my grandmother from Toronto seemed impossible until COHCASEL. Their diaspora service keeps me connected with video calls and updates.

FAQs

Common Questions About Elder Care

What is the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companion care focuses on social interaction, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. Personal care involves hands-on physical assistance — bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. We can provide either or combine both into a tailored care plan.
How do you handle medical emergencies?
Every caregiver is trained in emergency response and holds first aid certification. They have direct access to our 24/7 coordinator and maintain a documented list of medical contacts for each senior. Families are notified immediately via their preferred channel.
Can your caregivers administer medication?
Caregivers provide medication reminders and assist with opening bottles and following schedules. For intravenous, injectable, or complex medication regimens, we coordinate with a visiting licensed nurse who can attend on the agreed schedule.
How do diaspora families stay informed?
We create a dedicated WhatsApp group for the family and caregiver from day one. Weekly video calls are scheduled to a time that suits the overseas family. Monthly written wellness reports are emailed on a fixed date. Emergency updates are sent immediately, day or night.
My parent has dementia. Do you have caregivers trained for this?
Yes. We have a pool of caregivers who have completed specialist dementia and Alzheimer's care training. They understand behavioural challenges, safe environments, therapeutic routines, and how to communicate effectively at every stage of memory loss.
What if my parent's care needs increase over time?
We conduct quarterly care plan reviews and respond immediately if needs change. We can increase care hours, introduce specialist support, or transition to a more advanced care tier without disrupting the caregiver relationship or the senior's routine.
Is there a minimum commitment period for live-in care?
We recommend a minimum 3-month commitment for live-in arrangements. This ensures stability for the senior, particularly those with dementia. However, we understand circumstances change — speak to us about flexible notice arrangements.
How quickly can care begin?
In most cases, care can begin within 48–72 hours of the initial assessment. For urgent post-hospital situations, we can often deploy a caregiver within 24 hours. Contact our coordination team directly for urgent requests.
