Live-In Care – Alternative to Residential Care
Published: 01/04/2020
Did you know that as well as providing hourly homecare services, we also offer full time live-in care? Live-in care enables Clients to continue living in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home with a Support Worker available to assist them with their usual daily routine.
How Does Live-In Care Work?
Live-in care means one of our professional and trusted Support Workers will live with your loved one in their own home, allowing them to isolate safely whilst receiving the one-to-one personalised care and companionship they need, day or night.
For many families, particularly those living far away, live-in care is the best option for peace of mind that their loved one is safe and supported at home, particularly during the coronavirus outbreak, with movement restricted and social distancing in place. It has also proved a lot more resilient that care homes during the recent pandemic with minimal COVID incidents across the UK – zero infections in any of our clients’ homes.
What are the Benefits of Live-In Care?
