Request a callback Request a brochure Examples of who might need live-in care Hospital discharge Sometimes getting the all-clear for a hospital discharge can rely on whether the right level of care is available at home. It often places a great amount of pressure on families in juggling care needs with other commitments. Our emergency care means we can often respond within 24 hours if you or your loved one is being discharged from hospital. After contacting us, your local care specialist will liaise with the hospital discharge team and other professionals involved on your behalf to arrange a safe return home. With the help of your chosen live-in carer, you or your loved one can have a smooth transition. He or she is there to support with the day-to-day tasks: making meals, running errands and keeping the house clean and tidy, right through to personal care and assisting with physiotherapy exercises. We work alongside your district nurse, occupational therapist and physiotherapist, offering essential support when health can be at its most fragile, building confidence and strength each day. Our carers can also give support including bladder management, convene, PEG and suppositories, to name a few. Call us today and speak to us about how we can react quickly to a forthcoming hospital discharge. We’re here seven days a week to take your call. Needing a short period of live-in care after an unexpected operation, I contacted this company. I was in quite a state of anxiety but the staff were helpful and understanding, quickly assessed my needs and were able to provide some flexibility since I was waiting on a daily basis for the call from the hospital. My carer for a week was a perfect match for my needs, professional but with great compassion, kindness and fun. Read the full review here. Ailish, customer from the East Midlands Switching from visiting care to live-in care When you’re at the point of receiving a number of care visits each day, as well as having night care, the costs can soon become significant and unmanageable. For a similar price, a dedicated live-in carer provides the continuity that a team of carers is unable to. One person can absorb all the routine tasks and have the time to concentrate on providing so much more, such as being a companion and sharing hobbies and interests. With a live-in carer, you have a continuous care service and complete peace of mind that you or your loved one has the right support, no matter what the time of day. Call us today to speak to one of our care specialists about how live-in care could work for you. Returning home from a residential care home We support many families who have trialed a residential setting but have missed their independence and home environment.

Doing so can make considerable cost savings too when compared with the price of paying for two beds in a care home. Sometimes couples struggle to support each other with personal care. For others, daily housekeeping tasks may get difficult if both of you are unwell. Whatever your care needs, there will be a live in care solution that means you can stay together. Speak to us today for how we can help you, or find out more about how we care for couples. Sheila and John's story: Care for couples Retired GPs from Worcestershire, Sheila and John, contacted us for live-in support after they trialled living in a care home. John was recuperating from an operation while Sheila has the progressive neurological condition of multiple system atrophy (MSA). John said: “I would recommend live-in care to anyone; we have been really surprised how un-intrusive the carers have been. “Having Krista here has allowed Sheila and me to continue to stay in our family home with the support we need; we really enjoy having her here.” More about caring for couples Preventing falls Many of our customers are concerned about experiencing a fall at home, especially when they live alone. It can cause a great deal of anxiety for them and their families. Falls can cause long-term damage, especially to those who are already quite frail. As Age UK stated, “A fall can destroy confidence, increase isolation and reduce independence.” With a live-in carer supporting day and night, families have the reassurance of someone being there at all hours to prevent falls or even raise the alarm if something was to happen. Call us today to find someone who will fit into yours, or your loved one’s, life.
