Live-in Care
Living independently at home is something most of us would like to do for as long as possible.
Live-in care provides round the clock care from a dedicated carer who lives with you at home, ensuring that help is always on hand.
Having a live in carer allows you the ability to maintain your independence whilst receiving professional, courteous, and respectful assistance in your own home with a care level that suits you.
Our live in carers provide practical and physical care, but they also provide a source of companionship and support. Reducing the responsibility and any possible stresses from loved ones, often allowing for better and happier relationships between you and your family members.
Reasons for considering live-in care
There are lots of reasons for considering live-in care, they include…
- Wanting one to one care
- Struggling with the normal daily routine and/or personal care tasks
- Needing mobility support, in and/or outside of the home
- If there is any unwillingness to transfer to a traditional residential care home
- Living with illness or a complex medical condition, including but not limited to assistance with medication and hospital visits
- Companionship to avoid feelings of loneliness or isolation
- Loved ones feeling frazzled or stressed trying to provide the support themselves with their own busy lives
In our experience, live in care is best suited to those who have advanced dementia, a physical disability, palliative needs, are living alone, and for those whose loved ones may be unable to visit at the frequency needed.
