The Benefits of Live-In Care
Before turning to residential care for your loved one, find out more about the live-in amazing benefits of live-in care.
For many of our client’s, there comes a time when hourly or two-hourly care visits are not quite enough for their loved one. There loved one may have had a stay in hospital, had a fall at home or perhaps they are showing the signs and symptoms of dementia.
For many of those clients, residential care may be a consideration. However at Home Instead Sutton, we offer a live-in care service which is an exceptional and often favourable alternative to residential care.
The benefits of live-in care include:
- Personalised, One-to-One Care: Unlike residential care, where attention is shared, live-in care ensures your loved one receives focused support.
- Familiar Surroundings: Staying at home helps older adults feel secure, connected to their memories, and comfortable in their routines. Many older adults who are in hospital find that due to waiting times, remain in hospital for a space in residential care home much longer than they need to than if they were returning home.
- Cognitive Stability: Research shows that older adults in familiar environments tend to maintain cognitive function longer than those who move into care homes. We find that client’s who enjoy the smooth transition into live-in care are much less stressed or worried than they would be if they had to leave their homes.
Remaining at home has proven benefits for older adults’ well-being. Live-in care allows your loved one to age gracefully in a place they know and love. Here’s how:
- Comfort and Familiarity
Home is a sanctuary. Familiar settings can reduce confusion and anxiety, especially for those living with dementia or memory-related conditions. - Companionship
With a live-in Care Professional, your loved one will never feel isolated. They’ll have someone to share memories with, enjoy daily chats, and feel reassured by their presence. - Maintaining Independence
Simple routines like a morning cup of tea or an evening walk can make all the difference. Live-in care helps your loved one continue the daily habits, as well as stay as active as possible in the community.
