Live-in care is a comprehensive service where a professional live-in carer resides in the home of the individual needing assistance. This arrangement allows the carer to provide round-the-clock support with activities of daily living, companionship, and specialised care tailored to the individual's needs. With live-in care, seniors or individuals with disabilities can remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes while receiving personalised and continuous support to maintain their independence and quality of life.
What does a live-in care do exactly? Our carers as there to provide 1-2-1 care and to enable your loved one to continue enjoying a secure, safe, comfortable and independent life within their own home. They are there to assist with personal care, bathing, washing and dressing, assisting with their personal and oral hygiene, toileting, administering medication, maintenance of their appearance, cooking meals and general household duties.
Please note that our live-in carers are not trained nurses. They are able to undertake clinical tasks such as managing PEG feeds, dressing wounds and managing catheters or stomas but they are unable to administer injections.
Your live-in carer will regularly vacuum, dust, mop, change bedding and empty bins. They will also help with laundry too. We talk through all of these duties when we carry out your care assessment.
Due to the wide range of services offered within our live-in care services, costs can vary on a case-to-case basis – dependent upon the level of care required. We will be able to provide an actual cost once your loved one has been assessed.
For example basic live-in care which is for those who do not require any personal care assistance is £1095 per week. This type of live-in care service is tailored more for those who are looking for companionship, assistance with meals preparation, security, cleaning, shopping and other household duties.
The cost for live-in care is all dependent upon your situation. You may be eligible for government assistance in meeting some, or all, of your care costs. Learn more about ‘'NHS continuing Healthcare Funding' here.
