Live-In Care
Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin offers live-in care for you or your loved ones. Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to residential care, allowing you to stay in your home even if you need relatively advanced levels of support.
The popularity of live-in care has been steadily increasing. To accommodate a live-in CareGiver, you will need a spare room. From there, arrangements such as food and length of stay are flexible. Our CareGivers typically work around 10 hours per day.
Our CareGiver can assist with meal preparation and will usually eat with you, but we'll be guided by our client here to make sure it is working on their terms. The CareGiver's length of stay depends on the individual circumstances and preferences for each client. We always try to work to a timetable and create the conditions that our clients are comfortable with.
There are many benefits to live-in care: it allows you to avoid the disruption of moving into residential care, enabling you to stay in your familiar surroundings with all your cherished memories and possessions. You can continue enjoying your favourite activities, whether it’s watching TV, gardening, or welcoming friends and family into your home—your CareGiver is there to assist as much or as little as needed.
Clients often develop a special bond with their CareGiver, who can become both a companion and a carer. Live-in care also allows clients to continue enjoying the company of their beloved pets.
We have prepared a video that provides an overview of our live-in care service, which you can view by clicking on the embedded video on this page. Additionally, you can read more about live-in care in our blog by clicking here.
