WHAT IS LIVE-IN CARE?
Live-in care is when a professional carer comes and lives with you in
your home to provide you with around the clock care, companionship
and support so you can live a better quality of life with improved
health outcomes - and all in the place you love best, your own home.
A COMPASSIONATE & PROFESSIONAL CARE TEAM
Our expert, professional and compassionate carer will move into your home to provide you with
one-to-one care and support around the clock, giving you peace of mind and reassurance that
you are receiving the highest quality care.
A PERFECTLY MATCHED CARE TEAM
Our live-in care service involves two carers working opposite each other on various rotations.
This is typically two weeks with one carer, then two weeks with the other carer. They will be
carefully matched working with you and your family to ensure they are able to meet not just your
care and support needs, but are closely aligned with how you wish to live your life, sharing common
interests. In the rare situation, the match does not work out we will happily work with you
and your family to find the care team that does.
A PERSONALISED PLAN OF CARE & SUPPORT
The carer who comes and lives in your home will deliver a highly personalised plan of care,
developed by a skilled local Care Manager following an assessment of your needs. The comprehensive
plan will be created with input from not just the person receiving care, but with vital input from
family members and other healthcare professionals involved in your care if you wish. It will not
just cover your care needs, but your choices on how you live your life, your preferences and social
and emotional support required. It is a holistic approach that is focused on enhancing health and
wellbeing, whilst improving overall quality of life.
LIVE-IN CARE FOR COUPLES
With the care and support of a live-in carer, you can both continue to live life your way with
the reassurance that you are getting the very best one-to-one care that meets both your needs,
around the clock. Our comprehensive care planning process for live-in care for couples takes into
consideration the needs of both individuals. Each of you will have a plan of care that considers all
needs including your lifestyle choices and social preferences, so the care you receive is personalised
to you individually but also considers how you wish to live as a couple. Live-in care is a very cost
effective option for couples compared to a care home, where you will typically be charged for
two rooms and packages of care.
