Live-in care offers a practical, client-led, cost-effective alternative to a residential or nursing home. It gives personalised one-to-one support that a care home setting can never achieve. Live-in care enables individuals and couples to remain in their much-loved homes and familiar neighbourhoods. It assures security, independence, and dignity. However, a 24-hour care decision is big; hence it is critical to understand how it works.
An expert, professional and compassionate carer will move into your home to provide you with one-to-one care and support around the clock, giving you peace of mind and reassurance that you are receiving the highest quality care.
A live-in care arrangement usually involves two carers working on a two-week rotation. We at Homewide will match carers working with you and your family to ensure they can meet your care and support needs and align with how you wish to live your life, social and personal likings and background. If the match does not work out, we will happily work with you and your family to find the care team that does.
The carer who comes and lives in your home will provide a highly personalised care. Homewide managers create the care plan with input from not just the person receiving care but with vital information from family members and other healthcare professionals involved.
