Considering Live-In
Care For Your
Loved One?
When a family member needs support, it can take a large toll on their loved ones. It isn’t easy to care for somebody, especially when they need that support day-to-day to complete routine tasks. Live-in care involves an experienced care companion being on hand to support with all these necessary daily activities, without the upheaval of moving into a shared care home. Your loved one gets to remain comfortable in their own home, maintaining valuable independence, whilst receiving all the assistance and support they require.
Personalised one-on-one care is something that simply cannot be offered in a care home, where the ratio of care staff and customers doesn’t allow for tailored services. Live-in care is the option that puts you and your family in control. It offers the services you need, when you need them, all from the comforting familiarity of home. Not only will your loved one have constant companionship and support, but you can rest easy knowing that they are cared for and have the full attention of their care companion. That way, you can rest and take care of yourself, too.
How Does Live-In
Care Work?
The inclusions all depend on what you and your family require. A care companion is able to plan and cook meals, organise trips into the local community, help with domestic tasks such as cleaning, care for pets, and generally keep the household running. On the other hand, they’re likewise trained to handle a variety of essential care services. This may include management of medication, health monitoring, help standing/moving, continence support, bathing, and many more services.
The Benefits of Live-In Care
With so many care options available, you may be wondering what live-in care has to offer that other services don’t. Here are just a few of the benefits that have so many families opting for live-in services:
The Comfort of Home
Nursing homes and care homes can be wonderful, but for many it can be overwhelming to completely uproot their life. Live-in care offers services from the comfort and familiarity of home, with treasured personal items and memories all around.
Carer-Customer Relationships
When your loved one lives in a care home, building trusting relationships with carers can be a challenge. Staff come and go as shifts change, and with so many people under their care at once, the level of attention and quality time is spread thin. Welcoming a live-in care companion into the home ensures that your loved one receives the dedicated 1:1 attention they deserve, allowing them to build a relationship of trust, comfort and often friendship, all in the comfort of their own space.
Tailored Care
Unlike care homes, which need to adopt more generic care plans to accommodate a large number of patients at once, live-in care provides the freedom to completely customise care plans to suit your loved one’s needs. Undivided attention means our companions are able to work flexibly around your specific needs and goals, whatever that may look like.
