The Value of Choice: Live-in Care with Home Instead Ilkley
Did you know that we offer an exceptional Live-In Care service? This gives our clients a smooth and disruption-free route into 24-hour care. Find out more below.
At Home Instead Ilkley, we offer a range of flexible and focused care options. We ensure these evolve and change as our client’s needs do. Our client’s will often begin their journey with Home Instead Ilkley with some companionship visits. During these visits, they might have some help around the home and support getting out and about in the community, while remaining as independent as possible. However, many of our client’s do not know about our Live-In care service.
Our Live-In care team will often meet clients and their families at a crossroads. Family members will feel that their loved one needs extra care, but they aren’t sure which direction to take. Their loved one may have been a stay in hospital, a fall in the home, or they may be starting to show some signs and symptoms of dementia. At this point, some families believe that residential care is the only option. However, Home Instead Ilkley can provide you with an alternative which means little disruption and is cost comparable. This is our exceptional Live-In care service. Our Live-In service means a loved one can remain in their own home while receiving care, surrounded by familiar comforts. For so many of our wonderful clients, live-in care service is a preferable alternative to residential care.
A Trusted Care Transition
For clients who already benefit from our daily visits, the transition to live-in care is totally smooth and reassuring. Clare, one of our brilliant Live-In Care Professionals shared, “Our clients are often used to seeing a Care Professional in their homes because of our regular visits. That existing relationship and trust allows family members to focus on simply being family, while we provide the dedicated care their loved one deserves.”
Managing Care Costs
Live-in care is often at a price comparable to residential care. What is invaluable is the flexibility the service provides, allowing clients and their families to retain control over the day’s activities and the environment—a benefit that gives many of our clients and their loved one’s greater peace of mind. Due to the nature of the live-in service, we can keep a close eye on our client’s changing needs and have excellent and swift communication with family members and loved ones.
