Recognising when you or a loved one needs extra support with their health can be difficult.
Changes often happen gradually and it can be hard to admit that additional support is needed, especially for someone who has always been independent.
However, when your care needs exceed daily visits, you do not have to give up your independence or routine.
Live in care provides round-the-clock support that allows individuals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Signs it may be time for live in care
Live in care services may be required if you or a loved one is experiencing:
- Increasing falls or reduced mobility, which makes everyday movement unsafe
- Difficulties managing daily tasks, such as washing, dressing, cooking or taking medication
- Worsening memory loss or cognitive changes, including confusion or missed appointments
- A need for extra support after a hospital stay or surgery
Live in care may also be necessary if family or daily carers are feeling overwhelmed or unable to provide the continuous care needed.
Who is live in care suitable for?
Live in care is the ideal option for individuals with mobility issues or ongoing health conditions such as early-stage dementia, Parkinson’s or diabetes.
It is also a supportive and flexible option for individuals recovering at home following surgery or illness.
Live in care values independence and allows individuals to stay surrounded by familiar routines, belongings, pets and neighbours.
It provides reassurance that someone is always there to help, which can benefit clients and their families’ mental well-being.
What does live in care involve?
Live in care is fully personalised and often includes:
- 24/7 support – This can include assistance with washing and dressing
- Medication management – Helping individuals take their medication correctly and on time
- Household support – This can include meal preparation, cleaning, laundry and shopping
- Companionship – Offers emotional support and continued interaction with their community
- Tailored care plans – These are based on a client’s needs, preferences and lifestyle
This detailed support plan can help individuals live safely and comfortably at home and not have to deal with the emotions of relocating for care services.
