Customised live-in care plans

How does live-in care work?

Every care arrangement is unique, so we start with an initial consultation to find out how we can support you. This will help us to design a care plan that can grow and evolve as your needs change.

We then match you with a carer who will be perfectly suited to meet your needs. The carer will move into a spare room in your home so they can provide care on your schedule. This is preferable to a home care visitor, as they will be limited in their support.

While your carer is not expected to provide 24/7 support, it can be reassuring to know that there is someone close by in an emergency.

Meeting your needs

What can live-in carers help with?

Our live-in carers in South Kensington are able to provide the same level of care and support as you could expect in residential care. The main difference is that this support will be completely bespoke to the needs of the individual. You could request help with personal care, chores around the home, or help caring for your health.

Examples of where a South Kensington live-in carer might help could include assistance getting out of bed, washing, dressing and grooming. They might help by preparing delicious meals and then taking care of the washing up. They can help you to stay active and social by supporting you to attend social engagements.

They might also provide assistance in caring for specific health conditions, including reminding you to take medication or monitoring health vitals. They can also help you to attend GP and hospital appointments. And finally, they are a much needed source of companionship for those who live alone.
