What do live-in carers help with?
The level of care you receive will depend on your care plan. We take the time to create a care plan that works for you and then remain flexible to changes. Your carer could help with a diverse range of tasks, including meal planning, cooking, light housework, shopping and gardening. We can also provide pet care if required.
Personal care is also covered, including washing, dressing, grooming and health monitoring. We can keep an eye on vitals such as blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Your carer can also provide continence care and catheter support. Carers can also coordinate with your GP and other healthcare providers to ensure you can attend appointments and take the right medications.
A live-in carer also provides companionship and support to attend social events. They will help you to stay connected with friends and family, either in person or using digital technology.
Live-in care FAQs
Do carers need their own room?
Yes, your carer will need their own room. This helps to ensure everyone has privacy and can relax. They will also have designated breaks throughout the day, so they won’t be available around the clock unless it is an emergency.
What can carers not do?
A live-in carer should not carry out the duties that should be left to nursing staff. This included administering injections and changing dressings.
Do live-in carers do the cleaning?
While they can help with light housework, live-in carers are not cleaners. Their skills are better put to use in helping you with personal care rather than cleaning your property. For large homes, we would recommend hiring a cleaner.
