WHAT DOES LIVE-IN
CARE INCLUDE?
Our live-in care service is flexible and adapts to the level of support
required. Your professional care team can provide some, or all of
the following as part of your plan of care:
PROVIDING DISCREET & SENSITIVE PERSONAL CARE
This can include the task-orientated aspects of caring for someone, like bathing and getting dressed,
but also those that promote self-esteem, like having your nails maintained, or your hair styled.
COMPANIONSHIP AS & WHEN YOU NEED IT
Our carers will provide companionship whilst ensuring your privacy is respected. We ensure that a
perfectly matched care team shares similar values and interests to make life interesting, stimulating
and enjoyable, whilst being there for you to support your emotional and psychological needs.
MANAGING & ADMINISTERING MEDICATIONS
Our professional carers are trained in medications management and use an electronic medications
system to ensure all medications are managed proactively and effectively. They will also collect
prescriptions from the pharmacy.
ENSURING SAFE MOBILITY IN & AROUND THE HOME
Our in-house Occupational Therapist will provide guidance and expert advice as to what equipment
can help improve safe movement and mobility around your home, whilst minimising falls. They are
well placed to provide recommendations on home adaptations that aim to improve the way you live
your life in your home.
SPECIALIST & EXPERT NURSE-LED CARE
Our nurse-led care means your live-in carer is trained to monitor and identify any changes in your
health, responding appropriately and avoiding any unnecessary hospital admissions. Uniquely,
our care teams are led and supported by our in-house Specialist Consultant Nurse. In addition
to supporting our care delivery, much-needed support is offered to our clients and their families.
As part of our commitment to delivering a high-quality home care service, we monitor and
measure health outcomes to ensure we continually improve the care we provide.
