9 Benefits of choosing live-in care, rather than a residential home

 

• If you're looking for full-time care for a loved one or a couple, live-in care can be a great alternative to a residential care home. Live-in care allows you to remain in the familiarity of your own home, with all the independence and peace of mind that brings.

• Familiar surroundings can help to promote overall well-being. It also eliminates the stress and anxiety of moving to new, unfamiliar surroundings. For individuals living with a memory condition – such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, staying at home can assist with better memory function, because being in a well-known place can help to reduce disorientation.

• 3). A live in carer will support with personal care, medication and meal preparation as required to maintain your loved one’s daily routine. They would also be available to assist with daily tasks - such as cleaning, shopping, maintaining regular appointments and assisting with any hobbies/interests.

• Having a live-in care package means clients would receive a higher quality of care and independence, with more control over decision making. Getting up in the morning, meal times and bed times would be when the client wants it, not at someone’s else’s convenience.

• You can have peace of mind with our live-in care services when you have the comfort of knowing that not only will your loved one be well looked after, they will build a special bond with their CareGiver.

• Staying together, couples do not have to face separation or become their partner’s carer. A live-in option would ensure that both would receive full support to remain at home, together.

• Live-in care can be a more cost effective option than paying for quality residential care. For a couple it is even more likely to be cheaper.

• The flexibility for friends and family to visit on a more regular basis, no restrictions on visiting times.

• CareGivers become more than helper; they become a trusted companion who provides one-to-one support, day or night.
