A Real Alternative to Residential Care

Over the last few years Laura, our Registered Manager, has seen the demand for live-in care has significantly risen and we have expanded our services to reflect this.

Why choose live-in care?
As your loved one gets older, there may come a time when they need full time ‘round-the-clock’ care.  Home safety can become a serious concern when someone is no longer stable on their feet, with the risks of falling and potential injuries. Conditions such as dementia also make it difficult for someone to live independently, remembering meals and medications, and getting around on their own. This situation can quickly evolve to a point where family, friends and part-time carers cannot cope with the escalating care needs. In these circumstances live-in care can be a valid alternative to moving into a care home, allowing your loved one to be cared for in the familiar surroundings of their own home where they feel happy and comfortable.

Live-in care is also a good option for those families who require overnight carerespite care or support with hospital recovery for their loved one.
