How does live in care work?
Live in care is when a live in carer lives in the home of the person they care for so that they can provide full-time care and provide a constant and ongoing support. This is an ideal option for someone that requires constant care and assistance with a range of tasks.
This one-on-one care allows the carer and their patient to build a professional and friendly relationship with companionship and understanding.
Allowing someone to care for you requires trust and a live in carer in Bath allows for this trust to be able to build as they will always be cared for by the same person unlike with visiting care where this may not be the case.
What is the role of a live in carer?
A live in carer in Bath will be on hand to provide support around and outside the home to the person they are caring for to help them with everyday life and to look after themselves. Where it’s practical and safe they will be there to encourage independence and self-sufficiency so the person they care for can still retain some independence where possible but will always be there for support.
Live in care covers a range of different types of support such as household tasks like cooking, cleaning and housework, personal care such as help with washing, getting dressed and undressed and/or assistance with going to the toilet.
They can also help with administering medication and other day to day low level medical support as well as accompaniment to appointments and help with daily exercises and physiotherapy.

Assistance with after care following a stay in hospital

Following hospital admission for an operation, medical condition or emergency, it may be required that there is a care plan in place before you or your loved one can be discharged. This is to ensure that they can be confident the right support is in place to minimise the risk of further harm or readmission and that recovery can happen.
Our live in care services can be provided on a long or short term basis following hospital admission, to ensure recovery is smooth. Support can be provided round the clock for help with mobility, personal care, housework as well as medication administration, dressing changes and help with rehabilitative care such as physiotherapy, speech therapy exercises and more.
