Live-in care combines the best elements from domiciliary care and residential care. At a stage in life when one appreciates familiarity and routine, staying in your own home surrounded by your own possessions, memories and even pets can be invaluable. Moving someone into a care home can be very disruptive to a person at a sensitive time in their life. 

​

Whilst domiciliary care enables the client to stay within their own home, often the short length of visits is not adequate for the service user. If you require additional support and would benefit from live-in care, we will provide a one page summary of potential support workers for you to choose from. This will provide you with information regarding training, likes and hobbies of the support workers and provide an oversight of the staff members for you to make an informed choice. 

 

There are many reasons why people choose a live-in carer. Here are the main ones:

• Staying in your own home in the environment you love the most

• Avoiding change – daily life can stay much the same with that extra support

• Flexible care built around you – your carer helps as much or little as you like

• Keeping the same routines, hobbies and interests

• Companionship, whether it’s sharing meals, watching TV or enjoying days out

• Emotional support –  many carers become more like friends to our customers
