Published: 18/08/2025

Right at Home Twickenham and Richmond provides high-quality live-in care services that can make a massive impact, even over a short period. This type of care is an extremely personalised alternative to residential care, offering support in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. 

The Long-Term Benefits of Short-Term Live-in Care

While the care itself may be for a short duration, the benefits often extend far beyond the initial period; short-term live-in care can be a crucial stepping stone to a full recovery, helping to rebuild confidence and independence, or allowing family Carers to have some respite. Our clients who receive our short-term Live-In care are able to remain in a familiar environment, surrounded by cherished belongings and memories. This continuity of care can ensure that your loved one is receiving the care they need, benefiting both mental and physical well-being.

When and Why Short-Term Live-in Care Is Needed

Short-term live-in care is often needed during times of recovery or a family Carer needing some well deserved respite. Our Hospital to Home care services are often linked with short-term live-in packages, when your loved one is discharged from the hospital after an operation or a stay. A Live-In Carer can assist with recovery, reduce the risk of re-admission, medication administration, ensure a smooth return to daily life, and most importantly regaining independence. It can also be a solution for families needing respite care, allowing them to take a break while knowing their loved one is receiving high-quality, person-centred support. 

What Clients Gain - Even After the Support Ends

The skills and confidence gained during a period of short-term live-in care can last a significant time - Clients often gain a new sense of independence and a renewed ability to manage their daily routine. The one-to-one support from our Carers helps your loved ones  regain their strength, with a personalised care plan, that is put together from both the client and families wishes, ensuring all support is tailored to their specific needs and goals, leading to a successful and lasting outcome. The standard of care helps clients maintain their personal hygiene with dignity and respect, as well as with general household tasks, companionship, and even specialist medication administration.

Family Feedback and Peace of Mind

For families, the peace of mind that comes with knowing their loved one is in safe hands is invaluable. Right at Home Twickenham and Richmond are dedicated to making a difference everyday, ensuring your loved one remains comfortable at home whilst receiving the support they need - regardless of the client's duration with us. With a dedicated, well-trained team, families can rest assured that their loved one is receiving compassionate, dignified, and high-quality support. Don't take our word for it, hear what one of our lovely clients' daughters had to say! 

“We have nothing but praise for the whole team at Right at Home. The level of care, companionship and support goes way beyond what we could ever have dreamed of for our father. This has enabled him to remain in his beloved home for far longer than would have been possible otherwise. The team knows dad extremely well - he and us are made to feel like we're not just another client, but a valued family. Communication is excellent, the visit notes giving us a glimpse of dad's day, flagging any issues and highlighting the moments of joy.
