How does live in care work?

Live-in care is when a carer lives in the home of the person they are caring for so that they can provide round the clock care and act as support for someone who needs additional care. This is an ideal option if someone would prefer to stay in their home rather than move to residential care so that they can remain in a familiar environment and see their family whenever they want.

A live in carer is an experienced, trained and DBS checked individual who has the skills to provide the necessary care that somebody needs depending on their condition. Where possible, they will aim to encourage independence where it is safe to do so.

What is the role of a live in carer?

A live in carer is there to help with a number of different tasks depending on the needs of the person they are caring for such as help with personal care e.g. washing, dressing and toileting, shopping, accompanying to appointments, light cleaning, food preparation and cooking, medical care such as managing PEG feeds, oxygen administration stoma care, catheter management and administering medication.

As well as these tasks, their role is also to provide companionship and support so the person they care for feels supported, respected and is given the support to do things for themself where they can so they can retain that independence. All this helps contribute to better mental health too.

Whether it’s following a planned operation or emergency admission, it can often be the case that without a proper care plan in place, hospital discharge can be delayed. Whether it’s for yourself or a loved one, arranging post-hospital care can be difficult – especially if there are other commitments such as work and family.

A live-in carer in Bristol can provide that much needed additional support during recovery on a short or long-term basis. This dedicated support means that focused attention can be given and everything can be taken care of, from medication administration and wound dressing to catheter management and help with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
