Live-in care is an excellent solution for people who wish to stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible. It offers a great alternative to residential care, allowing elderly and disabled people to live full and comfortable lives with one-on-one support from a live-in carer. 

At Right at Home, we offer live-in care services in Guildford and Farnham that deliver an individualised plan of care for you or your loved one, ensuring the right level of care and support. Our caregivers are matched to you or your loved one based on the specific requirements. This could range from medical assistance to more general daily tasks,  and this bespoke approach ensures that every need is met. Practical and emotional assistance is also an important part of the support received. They help with daily tasks such as cooking, shopping and cleaning and provide companionship. With live-in care, you or your loved one can remain independent for longer and live a life of dignity and fulfilment within the safe environment of your own home.

Here are some ways that Live-in care supports you at home;

Security 

Live-in care means having a professional and experienced carer in your home providing support and ensuring you always have someone close by who can help meet your needs. It is a great way to ensure that you or a loved one feels secure and supported around the clock. Right at Home also offers 24-hr care, if required, which means there would be someone on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This provides peace of mind and can be a great source of comfort for yourself and your loved ones.

Independence

Live-in care maintains your independence by supporting you with day-to-day activities like shopping and running errands. At Right at Home, we work with you and your family to create a personalised care plan that establishes your needs, goals, and interests. This information is vital when understanding how best we can help support you whilst enabling you to do as much as possible. It is about finding the balance that allows you to live your life on your terms, as independently as possible, in your own home.

Social connection

One of the fundamental aspects of Homecare services, aside from practical and medical assistance, is helping you to stay connected to family and friends. Socialising with loved ones and the community is vital for mental and physical health. Our CareGivers at Right At Home will be able to assist you with activities such as accompanying you on walks, taking part in hobbies or just having a good natter over a cup of tea. One of our client’s favourite places to visit in the local area is The Sculpture Park in Churt. We also love getting involved in local activities with our clients, such as ‘Singing for the Mind’ with Barbara, specifically for people with dementia. Even if you cannot leave the house due to decreased mobility, or other physical limitations, we can still look at arranging visits from friends and relatives or helping you find online activities or hobbies. Staying connected is invaluable for preventing feelings of isolation and living a more enjoyable vibrant life.

Flexible support

Live-in care offers highly customisable support that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. It can also be adapted as a person’s needs evolve over time, providing a reliable source of support for as long as needed. You can live safely and comfortably at home for longer with live-in care.
