How does live-in care work?
If you’re considering live-in care for yourself or for a loved one, you might be wondering how it all works. Live-in care is a flexible solution that can be adapted to meet the changing needs of the individual. Cheriton Homecare will work with you to create a bespoke care plan that meets all of your needs.
It all starts with a home visit and consultation to learn more about you and how we can support you. We’ll then match you with a carer and they will move into your home to provide the care. They will quickly become a valued member of the household. All of our carers are fully trained and have a wealth of experience in providing high-quality care.
If you require additional support at any time, our head office staff are always on hand to answer questions and solve problems. You and your carer will be able to reach our team around the clock. They will do everything they can to ensure that you’re happy with the service.
