As the name suggests, live-in care is essentially where a professional carer lives in your home to provide tailored support, geared to meeting your particular needs. It encompasses a wide range of services to quite literally make you feel right at home if you or are loved one are struggling with daily routines, and includes:

    • Personal care: From bathing and dressing to help with going to the toilet and medical assistance.

    • Health and wellbeing support: Including, for example, nutrition and medication management plus help with mobility and physio. That might include moving you in bed or ensuring you can move around your home safely. A live-in carer also ensures clients get to their medical appointments.

    • Companionship: Befriending so that you never feel alone or unsupported.

    • Housekeeping: Assistance with laundry, cleaning, meal preparation and similar chores.

    • Pet care: Live-in carers can even help look after any household animals, so your furry friends stay part of your family.

    • Getting out and about: With 24/7 support, you’re not confined to home – your carers can help you get out in your community so that you continue enjoying the activities you love and stay in touch with all your old friends. This will significantly enhance your mental health and sense of inclusion and wellbeing.

    • Running errands: Whether you need a prescription or shopping collecting, or someone to make a phone call or sort out a bill, your live-in carer is here to help.

    • Respite care: Family carers can take a break safe in the knowledge that their loved one is being well cared for.

So if you’re looking for an alternative to residential settings, and are keen to enjoy continued independence, live-in care at home could be absolutely right for you.
