What Is Live-In Care?
It comes with the peace of mind that someone is always on hand if they are needed. This requires a full-time, in-house care assistant to provide medical care, personal care, and dietary care. In-home carers are an excellent alternative to going into a care home; giving one-to-one support and companionship, with a much higher standard of care than that of even the best care homes.
When someone (who may be of older age or with health conditions) moves into the unfamiliar surroundings of a care home, their physical and mental health can deteriorate. It is far more preferable to have a full-time carer living with the person, allowing family and friends to continue to support their loved one, and maintaining that person’s part in their local community.
Live-In Care Versus Care Homes
Some care homes put a lot of effort into creating a social environment, however, they also place restrictions on a person’s independence. Whereas, with Live-In Care, your loved ones have a constant companion, day and night, allowing security, freedom, days out and even holidays.
Relationships with family and friends can be maintained through Live-In Care because people are much more likely to visit a loved one in their own home, rather than visiting a care home, which may have restrictive hours or procedures for visitation.
A full-time carer, living in your home, can improve the wellbeing of your loved ones, providing the support required and giving family members the opportunity to go out and live their own life. It can be a very difficult decision for relatives to put a loved one in a care home, whereas a full-time carer is the best of both worlds, allowing a welcome break for a family but keeping the person in need of help within a safe, familiar environment without restrictions on how they live their life.
Who Can Benefit From Live In Care?
Live-In Care is suitable for:
If you or a loved one has a specific condition then your support will be provided by Home Care Assistants who are specifically trained to help people like you.
As standard, The Great Care Company offers unlimited shadowing at our own expense: Shadowing is when we place another team member with you and your home care assistant so that they can learn exactly how to support you. This provides an extra duty of care, another familiar face and backup should the regular care assistant become ill.
We understand that carers should be familiar with the people in their care and new faces can provide disruption. The health and well-being of anyone in our care will always come first.
