What is live-in care?
Live-in care involves a professional carer moving into the home of the individual requiring assistance. This type of care is highly personalised and allows for around the clock support tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the care recipient.
Live-in care ensures that your loved one remains in the comfort of their own home, maintaining their independence and enjoying a higher quality of life in familiar surroundings. This continuity is crucial for your loved one’s emotional and mental wellbeing, particularly if they are living with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Live-in carers assist with a wide range of tasks, including personal care, medical support, household chores, and companionship. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the individual's well-being are addressed, promoting physical health, emotional stability, and overall happiness.
Why choose live-in care?
One to one focus
Our live-in carers work exclusively with your loved one and spend the majority of their time interacting with them.
This one-on-one attention allows the live-in carer to develop a deep understanding of the preferences, routines, medical issues and support needs of your loved one, which means their care plan becomes more tailored and effective over time.
Comprehensive support
Our live-in carers provide a wide range of support services designed to enhance your loved one’s quality of life.
From assistance with personal hygiene and medication management, to meal preparation and housekeeping, our carers are equipped to handle various aspects of daily living.
This holistic approach ensures that all your loved one’s physical, emotional, and social needs are addressed, keeping them healthy and happy.
Independence
Staying at home means that your loved one can maintain their daily routine in a familiar setting, surrounded by their personal belongings and memories.
The presence of a live-in carer ensures that they can continue to live as independently as possible, pursuing their usual interests and retaining their normal lifestyle, whilst still getting the support they need to stay safe and healthy.
What activities can live-in carers help with?
Personal Care
Our carers are trained to assist with all aspects of personal care, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.
Live-in carers approach these tasks with sensitivity and respect, ensuring that your loved one's dignity is always maintained.
Companionship
The presence of a live-in carer provides companionship and emotional support to your loved one, engaging them in activities they enjoy and offering a listening ear when you cannot be around.
This promotes your loved one's wellbeing by combating feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Household Tasks
Our carers can assist with a variety of household tasks, including cleaning, laundry, shopping, pet feeding and other chores.
This support ensures that your loved one can enjoy a clean, safe, and comfortable living environment even if their mobility is limited.
Health Assistance
Our carers are experienced in managing medications, monitoring vital signs, and working with healthcare providers to ensure all your loved one's health needs are covered.
We can offer tailored specialist care for complex medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and neurological disorders.
Nutritional Support
Our carers are skilled in meal planning and preparation, ensuring that your loved one eats delicious meals that nourish them and meet their dietary requirements.
Live-in carers can encourage independent eating, or assist with feeding when necessary.
