What is live-in care in Kingston?

How does live-in care work?
Our live-in care arrangement begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the level of support that suits your needs best. We also value input from your family members to ensure the optimal support for you and your loved ones. Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we carefully match you with the perfect live-in carer.
Your dedicated carer will move into your home and have their own room. They will follow a schedule based on your personalised care plan, allowing them to take regular breaks and enjoy much-needed downtime. This approach allows you to maintain a strong sense of independence.
Having a live-in carer provides constant reassurance to your loved ones as they are available around the clock. In case of emergencies, you can rely on their immediate assistance, especially beneficial if you live alone without family nearby.
What can live-in carers help with?
Your personalised care plan is tailored to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that every live-in care arrangement is unique. Your dedicated live-in carer is there to assist with a wide range of household tasks, including cooking, cleaning, laundry, food shopping, and gardening. They can even lend a hand with your pets if required.
They provide support with mobility, helping you in and out of bed, and offer assistance with personal care, including bathing, dressing, and grooming. You can rely on them to manage your medications and ensure you attend important medical appointments with your GP and district nurse.
Beyond essential care, a live-in carer helps you stay connected to your community and loved ones. They can facilitate video calls with distant family members, arrange meaningful reunions, and organise social events to combat loneliness. Your live-in carer will also be a wonderful source of companionship, ensuring you never feel alone.
Live-in care FAQs
How is this different from a care home?
By opting for live-in care, there's no need to sell your home or relocate to a care facility. You can receive personalised, round-the-clock support right in the comfort of your own home, maintaining your independence and the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Do live-in carers do the cleaning?
Of course! A live-in carer can provide assistance with light cleaning duties. However, for larger properties that demand more attention, it is advisable to consider hiring a dedicated cleaner. This will allow your live-in carer to focus primarily on providing quality care and support.
Is live-in care cheaper than a care home?
Although it may not be the cheapest option, we firmly believe that the advantages of this care option far exceed the expenses. When taking into account the costs associated with uprooting your life, downsizing your home, and moving to a care facility, live-in care often emerges as the more desirable alternative.
