Live-in care provides you with an alternative to a residential or nursing home. Your care assistant lives with you, providing round-the-clock support.
It also gives relatives and friends the reassurance that their loved one is being looked after, with their individual needs addressed and their personal wishes fulfilled.
You have the continuity and comfort of staying at home in familiar surroundings and the cost is comparable to a care home.
Many of our clients use our service when their family member or care assistant needs a holiday.
Similarly, we often provide live-in care when our client needs temporary support through a period of convalescence or recuperation, for example when returning from hospital.
We recommend you or your relative try live-in care first, before opting for a residential or nursing home, which is a big step to take and a decision which is difficult to reverse.
Read about it in full in our booklet ‘A guide to living independently at home’ which is downloadable here, or contact us to talk to our client care advisor team.
