In a nutshell, many good things. And, it could by far be preferable to moving into a care home. Read our blog about this! . Live-in care offers a range of services, including:
Someone caring – in your home. In an everyday sense, you will have another person staying in your home, sleeping in another bedroom or your spare room.
We have organised this in many different ways, so get in touch to find out more.
The importance of having a carer on hand, while being able to keep you or your loved one in their own home may require preparing a separate room for the carer’s own space.
This means you will have the space you need, and the same will apply to them.
Making space. Your carer will need space to store their belongings, toiletries, and their food in your fridge.
As well as cooking your meals and helping with the day to day running of your house, they will be preparing their own meals, too. We always encourage our carers to eat together with the client making it a social experience but if you prefer to eat alone that’s absolutely fine, too.
Round-the-clock care.
If you need regular support during the night you may need to consider adding our overnight care service. 24/7 care involves the likelihood of two carers to ensure that you’re safe, happy and secure in your own home. You may have one carer living with you as your live-in care worker, with a night carer to support you while the day care worker sleeps.
Different Pricing Structures. Be aware that costs will vary depending on the number of hours a person care for you, as well as how long they are on stand-by.
