Our specially-trained Care Professional can help with a huge variety of activities, including;
Live-in care enables you to remain in your beloved home while receiving support from a dedicated Care Professional – somebody who becomes part of your family. Live-in Care can also be a more affordable alternative to hourly care and residential care. In addition to this, other benefits include:
Firstly, you will be involved in our Care Professional matching process, ensuring that your loved one feels happy and comfortable with the person that will be living alongside the in their home.
You and your loved ones will then decide the Care Professional’s usual hours of work and create a schedule that provides you with the assistance and companionship that you need. When not working their agreed hours, your Care Pro will be able to rest, sleep, and enjoy the usual activities of living at home.
A home care arrangement usually involves a Care Professional popping in to see their clients once or twice a day, perhaps to help them get up and dressed in the morning, or to help them prepare dinner and bathe in the evening. Live-in Care is different because a Care Professional moves into the family home so they’re available 24/7 for whatever kind of support their clients need.
Live-in Care is a great option for anyone who needs extra support to be able to continue living in their own home. This could be due to a condition like dementia or mobility issues that increase the risk of falling. We create individual are plans for all our clients, as no two people’s needs are the same.
When there are appointments or social outings planned, your Live-in Care Pro will be able to help you or your loved one get to them safely and be a companion if that’s what you’d like. We find that some of our clients are keen to do more outside the home with the peace of mind that Live-In Care provides.
Every Live-in Care Pro is entitled to 14 hours of breaks over the course of a working week, this can be divided in a way that suits you best. Commonly it is split into two hours each day, or a few afternoons a week. There are also care options available for their time off so that a replacement Care Pro stays instead, or family or friends can support if preferred.
Short term Live-in Care is a great option if recovering from an injury, or for respite care for families. We’ll be able to arrange a short-term Care Pro to support you for as long as you need them.
If you think Live-In care is the solution for you and your family, we highly recommend arranging a care consultation with our Care Manager, Lisa. She will then visit your home to discuss your needs and expectations around Live-in care and whether Home Instead is the right choice to you.
The consultation is an opportunity for you to get to know us more and ask questions. It usually takes a couple of hours to make a plan to fit around your needs. We will talk through all of the different options available and what would be the best recommendation for your own individual circumstances.
To book an initial consultation, give our office a ring on (01792) 790890 and ask for Lisa.
