Many clients find this one to one personal care service ideal for their parents. Live in care can be the perfect solution as they will tend to feel happier and more secure in their own home, it is much easier for family, friends and neighbours to drop in, even for a few minutes.

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 allows you, or your loved one, to remain at home with everything familiar. It avoids the distress and confusion of moving to an unfamiliar environment and any care is tailored to individual needs and requirements.

We have experienced candidates who have worked with clients ranging from Dementia and Alzheimer’s, to Multiple Sclerosis, to Strokes. Thalidomide survivor’s and client’s who are paralised.

• 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 professional and takes into account your preferences for medications, 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 or other 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.
