How PH Transitioned From Daily Visits to Live-in Care

The Early Signs That More Support Was Needed

When our client PH first began receiving homecare services from Right at Home Twickenham & Richmond, short daily visits gave him the reassurance of regular support. At the time, this seemed to be enough. But over the weeks, his carers began to notice that he was forgetting to take his medication correctly, and he was not eating proper meals.

Although these may sound like small challenges, they were signs that PH was starting to struggle living alone. His family also worried about his health and wellbeing, especially as they saw how these habits were affecting his strength and confidence at home. It was clear that a different approach to care was needed.

Why Live-in Care Became the Right Next Step

When PH’s family planned to go away, they knew daily visits would no longer be sufficient to keep him safe and well. The option of live in care offered the perfect solution -  an experienced carer could move into PH’s home, providing reassurance, support, and companionship around the clock.

For PH, this meant he could stay in the comfort of his own home while still receiving the level of care he needed. For his family, it provided peace of mind knowing that he would have full time care from someone they could trust.

How the Transition Was Managed Smoothly

At first, PH’s family considered moving to a different agency for live-in care. However, with the help of our Care Manager, they were able to explore the financial options available and discovered that PH could remain with Right at Home Twickenham & Richmond.

This continuity made the transition to live in homecare much easier. PH was already familiar with our carers, and the new arrangement simply meant more support from people he already knew and trusted. Careful planning and open communication also helped PH feel comfortable with the change, so the move from short visits to full time care felt natural and reassuring.

Positive Outcomes

Since starting live in care, PH has seen real improvements in his health and wellbeing. With regular meals prepared for him, support with his medication, and the company of a live-in carer, he feels more confident and engaged with daily life.

One of the most noticeable changes is how much PH enjoys going out again. He often walks past our office with his carer, looking happy and relaxed. For his family, this visible improvement has been hugely reassuring - they can see the difference that consistent homecare services have made.

The decision to move from daily visits to live in homecare has given PH stability, companionship, and independence in the home he loves. For his loved ones, it has brought peace of mind, knowing he is receiving the very best full time care.
