Frequently asked questions

 Live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to the care home. It’s where a carer lives in your loved one’s home, remaining on-hand throughout the day and, if required, the night too.

It’s the perfect solution for those who require assistance with daily activities but would prefer to stay in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own home – something 97% of us say we want.

A live-in carer is there to provide all the assistance and support required to ensure your loved one continues to live a happier, healthier and more independent life than they would in a care home.

 When you or a loved one reaches the point of requiring round-the-clock support, many people turn to residential care simply because they’re unaware better options exist.

Live-in care not only removes the emotional stress associated with moving home, it also ensures the person needing care gets a level of attention and companionship far beyond what they’d get at a care home, where a care worker’s focus is divided.

A live-in carer is there to support your loved one live the best life they’re able to live.

Tasks include personal care, medication prompting, mobility assistance, toileting, cooking, housework, running errands, and simply being there as a companion.

As everyone’s needs are different, the tasks your carer performs are really down to individual requirements.

 This depends on your requirements. If your family’s care needs are urgent, we’re able to act quickly – putting everything in place in as little as 48 hours.

However, for the best match, we always would try to advise leaving around two weeks.

 No, we have a rolling agreement. We ask that if you’d like to terminate care with us that you provide us with two weeks’ notice and keep in contact with us as much as possible.
