What is live-in care?

Live-in care is where a professionally trained nurses or carers lives with you in your own home. The nurse or carer will be in your home full-time, seven days a week. Therefore, there is always care on hand whenever you may need it.

Top 5 benefits of live-in care

1. Remaining at home

Your loved one can remain safe and secure at home. Their nurse or carer can provide them with the support they need to continue living their life as normal, surrounded by their belongings and memories. For a loved one with dementia, remaining at home can be much more beneficial than moving into for example, a residential home. This is because the familiarity of being with their possessions can reduce confusion brought on by dementia.

2. Family support

Having your loved one remain at home with a private nurse or carer allows you to stay more involved with their care. You can continue to stay in touch and monitor the care your loved one is receiving. This is all made easier by the relationship that you will also build, allowing you to feel included in the care of your loved one.

3. Maintaining your lifestyle

Live-in care means your loved one can continue to live in their home, giving them the freedom to see family and friends as and when they want, to receive guests at home and to continue having pets.

4. Constant care

Compared to living in a residential home, having a full-time live-in nurse or carer allows your loved one to have round-the-clock, one-to-one assistance. Having live-in care will create stability in the home, and you can rest easy knowing that your loved one is being cared for by someone who is dedicated to their profession.

5. Peace of mind

Not only does having someone stay throughout the night have safety benefits, but it also eases the minds of the people receiving care and their family members too. Meaning everyone can get a restful, and safe night’s sleep.
