What is live-in care?
Live-in care is a popular alternative to residential care as it enables individuals to maintain their safety and independence within the comfort of their own home. Live-in care provides around the clock support and assistance and allows more choice and control over the way individuals are cared for. With live-in care, a dedicated carer will be on hand to provide support with preparing meals, maintain a routine, assist with medication, provide companionship and to ensure emergency assistance is readily available 24 hours a day.
Live-in care can be a more cost-effective service compared to residential care and offers greater flexibility with meal times and schedules, allowing individuals to remain in a familiar environment, maintaining their daily routines. Additionally, carers can engage individuals in activities such as board games, arts and crafts, and other hobbies. The familiarity of the environment makes live-in dementia care particularly beneficial for those with dementia or similar needs.
What does a live-in carer do?
Personal and Incontinence Care
Help with personal care can include toileting, washing or bathing, dressing, hair, oral and skin care. Incontinence care is for those in need of extra support to maintain and manage incontinence, reducing the risk of infection. A trained carer will be on hand to support with managing incontinence pads, catheters, stoma bags, convenes and commodes whilst maintaining dignity and respect at all times
​
Medication Management
A significant number of individuals accessing health and social care services rely on medications to treat or manage various medical conditions or to enhance their overall well-being. At Fine Care, our trained carers are available to prompt, remind or administer your medication safely and in a way that reduces the risk of error and harm.
​
Mobility Support
Whether you’re using a wheelchair, recovering from an injury or illness that confines you to bed, or managing a neurological or joint condition, mobility care aims to provide the necessary support to enhance your quality of life.
​
Meal Preparation and Diet Planning
As we age, our nutritional needs change, and it becomes even more important to ensure that our diets are well-balanced and tailored to support our health and well-being. At Fine Care, our highly skilled carers are available to assist you to plan and prepare nutritious meals based on your dietary requirements, wishes and preferences.
​
Light housekeeping
Often, age-related frailty, disability, or illness can make it challenging to manage household chores. At Fine Care, our outstanding live-in carers are here to help you to manage and maintain your home. They provide assistance with housekeeping tasks including laundry, cleaning, mopping, gardening and even caring for your much loved pets.
​
Companionship and friendship
Companionship in older adults not only improves mental and physical wellbeing but also reduces the risk of depression often caused by loneliness and isolation. Your private carer will be on hand to support you at home or to accompany you to the shops, days out in the community, visiting friends and family, attending lunch clubs or church events.
