How does live in care work?

Live in care is when a carer lives in the home of the person they are providing care for, they will need their own room within the home but will be there to provide help and support anytime of the day or night to allow someone to live securely and safely in their own home.

More and more people are opting for live in care in Ipswich because it allows someone to stay within their own home and a familiar environment – which could be especially beneficial for someone who needs dementia care or anyone who doesn’t want to give up their home. It also allows the individual the flexibility to have their own schedule and be able to see friends and family at any time of the day or night and continue to go to clubs and social occasions they enjoy.

What is the role of a live in carer?

A live in carer is there to provide support and help around the home that is tailored to the needs of the person they are caring for. Their responsibilities could include light housework, food preparation, laundry, running errands such as shopping and picking up prescriptions, accompanying to appointments, prompting medication, healthcare support and personal care such as help with washing, dressing and toileting.

A live in carer is there to provide as much or as little care as is needed, to encourage independence where appropriate, suitable and safe and provide a level of security and support that means someone can live independently outside of residential care.

Whether you’re being admitted to hospital for a routine or planned operation, or have been in hospital following an accident or emergency, it is important to ensure there is adequate care in place before discharge, which is something the hospital will often check with you.

Many people would prefer to be discharged and back in their own home as soon as possible, but it will often depend if the right support and accessibility is in place. If you need additional care following a hospital stay, we can provide a live in carer in Ipswich on a long or short term basis, even at short notice.
