Live-in care is where a trained carer lives with you in your home to provide 24-hour support. They usually work from 07:00 till around 21:30
It is a popular option for people who want to stay in their own home homes as they age or need a lot of help with daily activities.
Here are some of the benefits of live-in care:
- One-to-one care: Live-in caregivers provide dedicated, one-to-one care to their clients. This means the client's needs are always met, and they have someone to provide companionship and support.
- Staying at home: Live-in care allows people to remain in their homes, surrounded by their belongings and memories. This can be very important for people who have lived in their home for many years and have a strong attachment to it.
- Peace of mind: Live-in care can provide the recipient and their family peace of mind. Knowing that there is always someone there to help can be very reassuring.
- Flexibility: Live-in care can be tailored to the client's individual needs. This means that the caregiver can provide the level of support the client needs when needed.
- Companionship: Live-in caregivers can also offer friendship and support to their clients. This can be especially important for people living alone or isolated from their family and friends.
Other benefits of live-in care include:
- Continuity of care: Live-in caregivers are usually with their clients for an extended period. This means they can get to know their clients well and provide consistent care.
- Reduced stress: Live-in care can help to reduce the stress of caring for a loved one. Family members can have peace of mind knowing that their loved one is being well cared for and that they don't have to worry about providing care themselves.
- Increased independence: Live-in care can help people maintain independence and stay in their homes longer.
- Improved quality of life: Live-in care can help improve people's quality of life by providing them with the support they need to live safely and independently in their homes.
