How does live in care work?

A Right at Home CareGiver will live with you in your home, delivering a bespoke plan of care and support. We’ll help to define the type of care you need, following input from you, your loved ones, and other professionals involved in your care.

Our live-in Carers meet more than just your physical needs; we work with you to create a personalised care plan which incorporates your goals and personal interests. A Right at Home live-in CareGiver can support you to complete activities, errands and shopping, amongst many other things. This tailored approach allows for control, choice, independence and peace of mind.

If you are looking for uninterrupted care, 24 hours a day, we have different care solutions to ensure someone is always on hand to support you, day or night.

If you are a family CareGiver looking to go on holiday, our respite care services offer high-quality care for your loved one whilst you take a well deserved break. We can also assist family CareGivers who are looking for more regular support, to enable them to take a daily or weekly break from their CareGiving duties.

Why choose live-in care from Right at Home?

Familiar surroundings

Live-in care provides you or your loved one the opportunity to stay in familiar home surroundings for as long as possible, with the help and support of a full-time CareGiver. Private live-in Carers are available to assist in case of any unforeseen need or emergency. This reassurance is often a key factor in giving our Clients the confidence to continue living in their own homes.

Our devoted live-in care teams

We only recruit passionate, friendly and supportive live-in Carers to our local teams, making for excellent relationships. In addition to the flexibility of agreed work, our Clients benefit from the reassurance that there is another person in the house.

Live-in care your way

Live-in care allows for one-to-one support, personal care, and help with general household tasks. This tailored level of live-in care allows our Clients to continue living at home and remain independent.

Alternative to residential care

At Right at Home, we understand that there is never an easy time to be faced with the decision to move out of your home. Older people, and vulnerable people of all ages, may not want to uproot into an unfamiliar care home setting. Live-in care or one of our 24-hour care at home packages offer a viable alternative.

Maintain independence

One of the great things about staying at home for care is that you can keep your independence. Our live-in care means that you can go out with you whenever you like – whether it’s a walk in the park, attending an appointment, or enjoying a meal out at your favourite local eatery.

FAQs about our live-in care services

What does full-time live-in care involve?

Live-in care allows you to continue living in the comfort of your own home with a Carer available to assist you with your usual daily routine.

What’s the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care at home?

Your live-in CareGiver will have breaks during the day to relax and enjoy some free time and will go to sleep during the evening. For Clients who need regular care during the night, or require someone on hand at all times, a team of Carers can provide around-the-clock support so families have peace of mind that their loved one’s needs are taken care of 24-hours a day.

How many hours should a live-in Carer work?

Live-in Carers will work for an agreed number of hours each day, defined at the outset of your care plan. The number of hours that a live-in CareGiver works will vary, depending on each Client’s unique needs.
