In general, live in care packages one of the most cost-effective care provision methods in the industry. It can provide you with a complete solution that is not only affordable, especially when compared to other methods, but is also incredibly flexible. Like the majority of other services, live-in care rates will often differ depending on the agency you use. You will also notice that the price of care differs depending on the care package that you choose.
Of course, care is incredibly personal and often needs to be tailored to meet peoples specific needs but, to help anyone looking for a rough guide that can help them choose the best live-in care package, Safe Hands Live-In Care have broken down the four standard packages for you. Below are examples of support needs. These are not fixed-price packages; each care plan is personalised following assessment.
Live in Care Packages
Fees depend on assessed needs. See our current cost and funding guide for starting prices and quotations. It is the perfect package for anyone who is still quite independent and doesn’t need much assistance with their personal care, but they do require additional assistance with some domestic duties. A carer that is providing low dependency care and help with things such as cleaning and cooking, but they can also assist with activities like shopping if required.
Medium dependency care
A personalised quotation reflects the support and care tasks agreed after assessment. This tends to be most suited to people with limited independence that need help with the majority of day-to-day tasks. Similarly to low dependency, carers can assist with all standard domestic but, on top of this, they can also provide a range of other personal care duties. This package also provides comprehensive companionship and emotional support.
High dependency care
A higher-support package may suit someone who needs substantial help with daily activities, subject to assessment. This also covers people who have specific medical needs or disabilities. Support must remain within the carer’s training and competence. Clinical or complex needs require a separately assessed arrangement and appropriate professional involvement.
Couples care
If you’re searching for care services for more than one person in a single property then, a couples care package is quoted after assessing both people’s needs and whether one carer can safely provide the agreed support. You can get very similar services to a low/medium dependency care package and a carer will be able to assist you both with day-to-day tasks. They will also be able to help you both when it comes to attending medical appointments or social events on top of this. Many people see couples carers as another member of the family and they really can provide you with affordable live in care for two people.
