How does it work?

To ensure that we delivered person centred care we start by carrying out a thorough assessment of your care needs and assessment of your home environment to ensure that you have an appropriate environment of care. This assessment enables us look internal if we have the right care staff who are trained and competent to the level of your care needs. It is also an opportunity to use the information we have about to find the most suitable care staff in terms of other considerations such:

  • a carer who can drive
  • a choice of male or female carers to support your personal care
  • somebody who shares a hobby or interest with you
  • a carer who is comfortable being around your animal pets

We work with you and those that know your existing routines and needs to design a support plan. Following this plan our carer work with you to meet your personal needs and wishes. Your care is arranged on your terms and is designed to meet existing preferences for meals and eating times, naps and hobbies as well as established medication and care routines. As your needs change, our one-to-one care has the flexibility to evolve with you.

To have a live in carer, your staff must have a room available with a comfortable bed to sleep in. Given the level of attention that the carer gives you throughout the day it is important that your carer has a decent amount of rest at night as they will continue to deliver that high level care during the next day.

To be suitable for the Live in Care service you should be able to summon help from your carer or your care needs should be predictable so that at most your carer is awoken no more than twice per night to assist you.

With our live in care services you will embrace all of these needs into one reasonable cost weekly cost.
