Is Your parent Living Alone?
Are you Caring for an elderly parent & need a few hours rest?
Don’t want to move into residential care?
At CML nothing is more important than helping our clients live full, independent and dignified lives within the comfort of their own homes. We strive to listen to our clients at all times and provide them with personal, professional support and care that enriches their lives and helps them maintain the highest possible level of independent living.
Our carers can assist with routine activities of daily living, from bathing, dressing, personal care, eating or assistance with light house keeping and meal preparation or escorting to appointments, shops and outings.
Live in care provides personal and tailor made care, support and companionship, all of which is provided in the comfort of your own home.
One to one, 24 hour or live in care can be the perfect solution as we all tend to feel happier and more secure in our own home with everything familiar. Our clients are provided with meals they have chosen themselves and able to eat at a time which suits them! It is much easier for family and friends to drop in for a chat or a cup of tea knowing you are in safe hands and someone is there to support you, extra peace of mind for your family giving them an opportunity to spend quality time with you.
Live-in Care is when somebody comes to live with you in your own home to take care of your everyday needs on a one-to-one basis. It avoids the distress and confusion of moving to an unfamiliar environment, all care is tailored to the individuals needs and requirements.
When Should You Consider Live-In Care?
There are many life situations where a live-in carer may be the best alternative for you or a loved one, and these are just some of the circumstances where CML can help. Live-in care can be for any duration, short or long term or to cover emergency situations:
• To enable someone with varying health conditions to continue living at home with someone to look after them and any pets and prevent the distress and upheaval of moving to residential care
• For short-term needs such as convalescence, recovery after an accident, operation or illness
• For families who live away from their loved-ones but would like someone to look after them to 
provide care and/or companionship
• For people who are finding it difficult to cope with a partner or other family member who requires a lot of care
• Respite cover while a full time family (or other) carer takes a break, with the peace of mind knowing their loved one is in safe hands
• Emergency cover for a main carer due to illness, accident or some other unforeseen circumstance
• Providing a Holiday Care Assistant to accompany someone who needs care and support while going on holiday or staying with family/friends
• To give care and support to individuals and their families during end of life situations

What Does a Live-In Carer Do?
This can vary depending on the individual situation but in general a live-in carer normally provides full Personal Care and carries out general housekeeping tasks. The level of care will vary greatly depending on individual needs, which can range from general companionship and housekeeping to high dependency where intensive personal care is required.
One-to-One Care: A live-in carer works on a one-to one basis with you and your family or health care professionals and takes into account your preferences for meals, eating times, daily routine, preferred activities etc. Should your needs change then the one-to-one care can be adapted at any time.
Personal Care: This is likely to include help with getting up, toileting, bathing, washing, dressing, overseeing medication and so on.
Companionship: Having someone living in your home gives you companionship when you want it, to keep you company for instance when you are watching TV, going for a walk, doing crosswords and continuing your hobbies. Your carer will also be able to accompany you to appointments or on social outings.
Household Tasks: This would cover everyday things such as housework, laundry, cooking, shopping, caring for pets, dog walking and running errands. It could also be help with letter writing, phone calls on your behalf or social trips out to see friends or go on excursions.
