Are you thinking about hiring a live-in caregiver?

There are a variety of scenarios, conditions, and events when live-in care might help you overcome obstacles you may encounter in the future:

Dementia Care:

Living at home with dementia involves remaining in familiar surroundings and keeping daily routines that may not be achievable in a residential facility. House care is ideal for someone living with dementia, as it allows them to maintain their routine in the home they have come to love.

Long-term effects: 

Parkinson’s disease, for example, needs constant monitoring. Our Care Pros are trained to notice changes in a client’s health, well-being, or behaviour and are prepared to intervene if there is any reason to be concerned.

Frailty: 

For many people, growing older means losing the ability to accomplish even the most basic tasks, such as lifting the kettle to make a cup of tea. Live-in care can help someone fragile keep their independence and quality of life.

Losing a spouse: 

It takes time to adjust to the death of a partner, not just emotionally but also practically. A live-in carer UK can be a much-needed companion and fill in for a recently lost support position.

Unexpected sickness and events:

Whether it’s a fall or an unexpected illness, your loved one may be vulnerable to situations that require immediate attention. Professional assistance will alleviate you and your family of the stress.

What are the responsibilities of a 24-hour live-in caregiver?

A live-in caregiver’s job is to assist with everyday tasks and enable your loved ones to live independently. Our highly trained live-in carers assist with personal hygiene, housekeeping chores, and food preparation to provide the highest quality of life. Caregivers can also accompany your loved ones while on outings or hobbies.

• Companionship and basic care needs:

Many individuals hire a live-in caregiver to help them with their basic requirements.

They are self-sufficient and may not be gravely ill, but they require companionship and low-level assistance at home. These individuals may have long-term diseases or impairments, necessitating greater assistance with fundamental daily duties.

The expense of living in care may be more each week if you require additional assistance. The care provider will need more specialised abilities to adequately offer your home care.

• Doing the laundry:

Simple tasks like doing the laundry can become difficult for people with mobility issues or memory loss.

Elderly persons who get live-in at-home care can assist with such duties. A caregiver can either take your loved one’s laundry and dry cleaning to be done somewhere or assist them in doing it themselves at home.

You don’t have to give up your freedom; your caregiver will assist you rather than do it for you if you like. This is another advantage to consider while seeking care and selecting the best live-in care provider.

• Cooking:

Cooking becomes more of a bother as we age, particularly for those who live alone. Many senior adults suffer from malnutrition due to a loss of motivation to make a meal for themselves.

A caregiver can cook with you or for you, ensuring that you eat well every day and avoid unhealthy or non-nutritious fast food. Having assistance in the kitchen and shopping for food might benefit you or a loved one and alleviate stress.

• Go grocery shopping:

Food shopping may be exhausting, and without transportation, many elderly individuals find it difficult to undertake a large shopping trip. Your live-in care professional will conduct your grocery shopping for you or accompany you to assist with heavy lifting.

• Runs errands:

If you need to buy a present, go to the bank, or run an errand, your caregiver can assist you or offer transportation. This makes running errands quick and easy, and you won’t have to rely on family members for these tasks.

• Companionship:

Loneliness is especially dangerous for the elderly. A live-in caregiver provides companionship. They are someone to chat to, someone to join you on outings, and it is nice to know that someone is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week if you need it.

• Transportation:

Most live-in caregivers need to have their transportation and a valid driver’s license to transport you when you leave home.

• Cleaning:

A live-in caregiver can assist you in maintaining a clean and tidy home. They can also help with mundane domestic tasks like garbage collection and dishwashing.

As you can see, a live-in care package may be rather affordable. The expense of living in care includes assistance with various requirements, such as companionship, housework, and errands.

Passionate Caregiver:

We recognise the significance of professionalism, safety, and security in our sector. We only choose carers who are completely committed to caring for others and genuinely enjoy their work. 

Years of experience working in the care business have shown us that a change of environment is seldom good for an older person or a person with a disability since it may result in loneliness, anxiety, and, in the worst-case scenario, clinical depression. This is not uncommon, especially among the elderly, more susceptible to age-related ailments and health issues.

What does 24-hour care at home cost?

While the most common care providers now offer residential home care, it has been discovered that this type of care may not be optimal for persons who have particular requirements and require special attention. Individual impairments, diseases, and health difficulties are common in old age, and without sufficient treatment, degeneration proceeds more quickly than typical.

Our care package pricing is determined by various factors, including care needs and criteria. This protects clients from being overcharged for services they don’t need. As a result, Safehands Live In Care delivers the most affordable costs while keeping a high level of service.
