How does live-in care work?
Live-in care involves a carer living in the client’s home to provide support as and when it is needed. The carer will follow a care plan that has been specifically designed for the individual. The care plan can be adjusted and adapted to your changing needs. This care plan will shape your routine for the day, allowing you to know exactly when your carer will be available to help you.
The first step to finding a live-in carer in Crawley is to get in touch with our team to arrange a free consultation. We will then work with you to understand your needs and preferences, before matching you with a carer who we think will be the best fit for you. We will provide you with all the necessary support and guidance throughout the process so that you can make an informed decision about live-in care.
What can live-in carers help with?
A live-in carer doesn’t have a specific set of tasks. Instead, the work that they do is entirely dependent on the areas where you need the most support. Some of the most common tasks that our clients request help with include:
- Personal care such as washing, dressing and grooming.
- Continence care and catheter support.
- Housework and cooking.
- Shopping and keeping on top of commitments.
- Medication reminders and health monitoring.
- Coordinating with GPs and healthcare professionals.
- Providing companionship and helping with social engagements.
This list is not exhaustive and can be completely adapted to your needs and requirements. The only consideration is that care can only be provided to the person named in the care plan. Your live-in carer cannot provide support to your wider family.
