Finding live-in care
What is live-in care in Richmond?
Live-in care is sometimes referred to as home care. With this arrangement, a care provider occupies a spare bedroom in your home and provides personalised support according to your specific needs. This is fast becoming more popular than residential care.
You enjoy all of the benefits of residential care without having to give up your home or move to an unfamiliar area. You can continue living your life according to your own schedule, which can help you to maintain a sense of dignity and independence.

What our clients say about us
Customised live-in care plans
How does live-in care work?
Every care arrangement is unique to the customer, to ensure they are able to enjoy the full benefits of remaining in their own home. We start with an assessment to find out how a live-in carer could help you. Next, we build a care plan that will support you in the best way possible.
We can then match you with a care provider who will be best suited to meet your needs. They will move into a spare room in your home and provide care on a fixed schedule, while also providing support in an emergency. Having the carer in your home means that you can enjoy the benefits of care that is best suited to your schedule. They are still entitled to breaks and downtime, but they’ll be available to support you if you have an emergency situation.
Meeting your needs
What can live-in carers help with?
Our live-in carers in Richmond are trained to provide a wide range of care and support that is completely flexible to your needs. This will often include cooking, household maintenance, or help managing medical conditions. For surgical recovery, we can help you to regain your independence. And for degenerative conditions, we can increase support as time goes by.
Personal care might include tasks such as washing, dressing, grooming or shaving. You might need a little extra help to style your hair or put on your makeup. It could also include catheter care and continence support as required. Household help includes things like cooking, buying food, light household cleaning or caring for pets.
Your carer can also provide limited health support, including help to take medications on time, or to follow specific diets. You might also want help monitoring health vitals or making sure you are able to attend GP and hospital appointments with ease. Your carer will also provide much-needed companionship.
