There may come a time when your loved ones need that little bit of extra support to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed.
This is where live-in care comes in. It allows your loved ones to stay safe, keep their independence and access the support they need, all from the comfort of their home.
With the winter months beginning to have an effect, we know this can make things challenging, especially for the people you care for, but the Nexus team is here to support you.
How does live-in care work?
Live-in care provides the individual needing support with access to a dedicated carer, who will come to live in their home and attend to their needs around the clock.
It is intended to help people who need care receive the necessary support to manage their medical needs and help with everyday activities, while still living comfortably at home.
As the care needed can change over time, live-in care offers that flexibility, tailored to what each person requires.
What does live-in care offer individuals?
Live-in care brings some very positive benefits for individuals needing support because of its person-centred approach.
It brings much-needed continuity and comfort at a time when their circumstances may have changed due to a person’s health or needs.
Many families love that it allows their loved ones to stay at home without the upheaval of having to plan, pack and leave the place that they love to enter residential care, giving them the ability to maintain their daily routines and remain a part of their local community.
Home is where the heart is and while residential care is a good alternative, it cannot provide the same comfort, familiarity and independence as live-in care.
There is also that feeling of companionship because, at times, individuals can feel alone and isolated, but live-in care gives them physical and emotional support.
There is always someone to talk to, whether it’s about how they feel, their family, their hobbies, sports teams or whatever they are passionate about.
Who is live-in care suitable for?
Live-in care is suitable for a number of individuals, including:
- People who require regular care but prefer to remain at home
- People living with chronic conditions or disabilities who need consistent support
- Any individual recovering from surgery or illness who needs short-term help
- People with a progressive condition like dementia who would benefit from familiarity and routine
- Individuals who live far away from their families and require daily care and support.
