The aim of live-in carer is to help the person remain in their own home rather than moving to a residential care setting. Live-in care is an alternative to traditional in-home care, where a carer visits the person receiving care at specific times throughout the day.
With live-in care, the carer is always on hand to provide support and assistance. This type of care is especially beneficial for individuals who have complex medical needs, require help with mobility, or simply prefer to have someone available around the clock or has Dementia.
Live-in care can also be an attractive option for families who want to keep a loved one at home but are unable to provide full-time care themselves. The Live-in carer is responsible for managing all aspects of the person's care and well-being, allowing the family to have peace of mind knowing their loved one is in good hands.
