Live-In Care is often seen as an alternative to moving into a Residential Care Home. It is an option for anyone who has care needs but wish to remain in their own home and retain their independence.
With Live-In Care you and your family are in control. Your Live-In Carer will liaise with you and your family to develop an individual Care Package completely tailored to your needs, requirements and wishes. This is flexible as needs can change over time.
A fully trained Carer will live in your home giving dedicated 1-1 support whatever your care needs may be as well as being a companion, offering emotional support and friendship.
Live-In Care covers a wide range of individual circumstances: from companionship, support and personal care to more specialised care for those with complex care needs.
Daily support may include:
● Dressing
● Personal Care
