Live-in care is 24-hour care provided at home in the property the client lives in. The carer lives with the client in their own home assisting with day to day care needs. They are therefore on hand to provide care round the clock. 24-hour care allows carers to build relationships that tackle loneliness and having company can be invaluable to the mental wellbeing of the client.
Live-in Care vs Hourly Care/Night Care/Day Care
Live-in care primarily differs from hourly/night/day care through the fact it provides 24-hour care at home. Hourly/night/day care carried out either by social services or care workers from agencies, etc, is less frequent and therefore it is harder for carers to build proper relationships with clients. In comparison, live-in care can not only cater for special and complex requirements that demand greater levels of care, but it can also provide valuable emotional support to combat loneliness. This is its primary benefit when compared to normal care.
Safehands takes great care in tailoring plans to specific and unique client needs. Our care plans are rigorous and will cater to your expectations and requirements, we will work with you to establish the best way forward.
Our 24-hour live-in care services are locally managed. This helps us to carry out appropriate checks on your care plan, these will occur weekly and we will check everything from whether care is being administered properly and on-time as well as the emotional contentment of the client.
Lastly, live-in care often works out as more affordable than live-in care.
Read on if you want to learn who can reap the benefits of live-in care at home:
People in Receipt of Hourly Care
Hourly care is a regular care plan for those who need frequent care. This involves hourly visits by care workers or social services, either from different companies and agencies or from the same one. Here, hourly care can become very expensive due to the fact it involves multiple carers. In this scenario, 24-hour care can represent better value than hourly care. Since one carer will carry out care tasks on a 24-hour basis, you won’t have to pay lots of agencies for lots of different carers.
Our 24-hour care service in Berkshire often uses two care workers who work to one-week rotors. One carer will spend a week with the client before another takes over, and so on. This enables the client to build relationships with the carer.
24/7 Care at Home for Couples
Couples can benefit greatly from Safehands’ live-in care service. Residential care costs can be sky-high for double rooms and thus, 24-hour care at home can represent value for money and overall, it can provide a much better level of care.
Live-in Care Post Hospital Discharge
Following discharge from hospital, care may be required immediately. Live-in care at home can be an ideal and sustainable choice here, we can meet healthcare professionals at hospital to discuss unique requirements and healthcare outcomes before coming up with the best care package for the client.
Live-in Care for those with Unique and Complex Needs
Safehands’ specialist care services can provide care for those suffering from a complex array of progressive or long-term conditions. These include, but aren’t limited to, ALS and other motor-neurone diseases, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and Alzheimer’s and sufferers of stroke. For sufferers of complex disease, live-in care can provide peace of mind that the client is being attended to 24/7.
Preventing Accidents and Falls
Falls and accidents are a major cause of admission to hospital, especially in the elderly. Falls can have knock-on effects on clients because of long hospital stays and health decline. 24-hour live-in care at home can help lessen falls and accidents. In the event of a fall or accident, a 24-hour carer can quickly alert for a doctor or ambulance.
