As we get older, especially if we live alone, we can sometimes require more help than our friends or loved ones can provide. If this happens, then there are services available that can ensure you receive the support that you need.

Right At Home provides live-in care services in your area, which are an ideal solution for people who wish to remain in the comfort of their home. 24-hour care at home provides tailored support to meet your individual needs. It’s an invaluable option for those looking for around-the-clock assistance and monitoring. It typically involves a team of our highly trained CareGivers coordinating a combination of overnight care, daytime support and respite care as it is needed. This encompasses a variety of services, such as helping with self-care, general housekeeping, companionship and specialist medical care if required. The focus is very much on helping with your daily routine to support your independence. With our experienced and dedicated caregivers, live-in care helps provide you with the best possible quality of life in your own home. 

The following are some reasons why it matters;

It helps maintain independence

At Right At Home, our CareGivers offer one-to-one personalised flexible care that allows you to maintain independence whilst doing the things you love. We deliver a bespoke plan of care based on your personal requirements, which is discussed with you and/or loved ones to ensure that it perfectly suits your needs. The companionship our CareGivers offer is hugely beneficial. Alongside helping with daily tasks, such as attending appointments and helping around your home, they are a welcome friendly face and someone to share your thoughts and interests with. Many clients love spending time with our CareGivers outside their homes, such as taking a stroll around Richmond Park or going somewhere for a coffee and a natter. Keeping socially engaged in your local community is vital to your independence whilst offering some company and a change of scene. It also encourages you to meet new friends and continue with hobbies and interests that you otherwise may not have had the opportunity to. 

It enables you to stay at home

With 24-hour live-in care, you don't have to worry about losing the comforts of your own home as you can still live there with all its familiar surroundings. Knowing you can stay in the place you love is reassuring for both you and your loved ones. It helps keep your family members connected, as they can visit more easily and assist with your care in ways that are meaningful to both of you. Even for clients with more complex medical needs or mobility issues, live-in care supports them to live independently in their own space without sacrificing the quality of care or safety. Living with a live-in caregiver allows for more than just companionship. It can also provide emotional support and stability, which helps improve well-being, enabling you to live life on your terms.

It offers peace of mind 

Clients receiving care at home benefit from one-on-one attention and support. This can be a tremendous help, particularly for those with disabilities, illness, or age-related issues. It offers peace of mind for you and your family whilst ensuring that you are safely receiving all the care that you need. This allows families to remain active in their loved ones' lives without the responsibility of providing all the support themselves. It is the perfect solution when family members may not have the time or capabilities to provide full-time care. Knowing that loved ones are receiving quality and compassionate care is reassuring for everyone. 

Right At Home's live-in care services are an extremely viable alternative to a care home for yourself or your loved ones. Why not contact us today at 0203 3763535, and one of our care team will be very happy to chat to you about how we can help.
