WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
OF LIVE-IN CARE?
There are many other compelling benefits of receiving care in
your much-loved home as opposed to enduring the upheaval
and disruption that comes from moving into a care home.
• O ne-to-one care and support around the clock - one-to-one care simply cannot be
achieved in any care home.
• A uniquely developed, highly personalised plan of care designed to meet your care needs
whilst addressing how you wish to live your life, none of the rigid timetables or set routines
experienced in a care home.
• Specialist and complex care provided by highly trained carers delivered in the comfort of
your own home. Familiar surroundings and routines are paramount in helping those living
with specialist conditions, like dementia.
• No need to move out of your much-loved home, with all the upset and disruption that brings.
The family home can then be kept in the family, instead of being sold to fund care home fees.
Staying at home means you can keep control of your life, with all your treasured memories and
possessions around you.
• If you have an adored pet, you will not be able to take them into a care home. With live-in care
you can keep your pet and the carer will support looking after it, and if you have a dog will be
happy to walk it for you.
• L ive-in care offers considerable and proven benefits to overall health and wellbeing, which offers
families much needed peace of mind and reassurance.
• The cost of care is comparable to that of a care home and considerably cheaper for couples,
who would be charged double for two rooms in a care home.
• Couples can stay together as a loving couple, as opposed to being split up to be cared for in
different areas of a care home.
• Continuing to be part of the local community you have loved, for what might have
been many years.
