Reasons To Choose Live-in Care Lyndhurst
Advantages Of Live-in Care
There are many advantages of arranging Live-in care, and as one of the longest-established Live-in Care Agencies in the UK we could talk about the benefits of live-in care all day! Below we have written a list of the main advantages of Live-in Care and have compared Live-in Care to a Care Home to help you in your decision-making process.
Stay Living In Your Own Home
Whatever your age, whether you are a young adult who needs support and care, or a frail elderly person, we believe it is your right to be cared for at home. It is perhaps obvious therefore that being cared for in the comfort of your own home is the primary benefit of arranging live-in care. There is no upheaval to moving into a care home and therefore familiar routines are kept whilst continuing to live amongst precious memories and in a community you know
Live-in Care Is Good Value For Money
When considering if live-in care represents good value for money, the primary consideration is in the actual ‘care’ being delivered. There is simply no substitute for one-to-one care in the comfort of your own home.
One-to-one attention, care, and support throughout a 24hr period as and when required offers unrivalled levels of focussed care. In the south of England many residential homes can cost more than £1500 per week, so with Live-in Care being around £1,200-£1,500 per week there is synergy amongst the two in this regard. But institutions will rarely be able to compete with the personalised approach to care that having a live-in carer in your own home can offer.
Peace of Mind for the Whole Family
Middle-aged sons and daughter’s often find themselves pressured by the everyday role of being the ‘sandwich generation’ who are caring for elderly parents and their own children at the same time.
Much the same as arranging childcare, whether that be a Nanny or a Parent’s Help, a Live-in Carer is the solution for elderly parents too. Arranging a home carer to live with a parent/s full-time will ensure they whole family have peace of mind knowing they are not alone, warm, safe, well-fed, and cared for. Those that live in the ‘sandwich generation’ need the commodity of time more that anything and arranging help for either children, parents or both is the answer.
Live-in Care Represents Safety
Thankfully, arranging live-in care ensures that even if you need full-time care, you can safely stay in your own home. There perhaps is no greater evidence regarding this than the Coronavirus pandemic proving how much safer it can be to remain living in your own home rather than moving to a residential care home.
It is perhaps obvious that living in your own home reduces the risk of contracting infectious illnesses. Similarly, a ‘Live-in Carer’ is less likely to be a source of infection for a person living in their own home as he/she does not care for multiple people in many establishments.
Live-in Care Offers Great Flexibility
The nature of live-in care affords a professional caregiver the luxury of devoting all her time to just one person. Live-in care is delivered calmly, without haste and pressure. Complimenting the one-to-one delivery of care is the ability for it to be delivered as and when the client wishes. Fancy snuggling in bed on a cold winter’s morning or having your lunch a little later in the day or wallowing in a warm bubble bath at 3pm, live-in care allows the flexibility to change your routine to suit your mood, and supports your right to do what you want, when you choose.
Choice of Live-in Carer
Choosing who lives with you in your own home is of paramount importance. And based on your care needs and your personality we will work hard to present you with a choice of professional, qualified, and appropriately experienced Live-in Carers for you to choose from.
Enjoy Nutritious Home-cooked Meals With A Live-in Carer
Many of our live-in carers and their clients (where able) enjoy preparing meals together. The conversation and reminiscing generated whilst following a recipe together helps cement a firm relationship between the two.
Cooking as an activity has many mental health benefits and can reduce stress (unless you burn the scones!), stimulate the senses and appetite, encourage creativity, maintain independence, and make conversation.
​
​Food ignites the senses, can evoke emotions and memories and can just be good old fun too! Live-in carers are perfectly placed to assist their clients with any special dietary needs. They can prepare a healthy, delicious, and nutritious meal plan tailored to their specific health needs and their preferred wishes.
A Healthy Lifestyle Is Easily Promoted With Live-in Care
As well as helping you keep a healthy diet, your live-in carer will help you lead a healthy lifestyle: keeping active, socialising, grooming & dressing, and much more. Your live-in carer can help you go to community events or host friends and family over for tea.
They can also research local low impact exercise classes, or help you keep fit at home. Keeping active and social is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and as we get older can be difficult to keep up on our own - here is where your live-in carer can truly make a difference!
Live-in Care FAQs
How much does live-in care cost?
As a ballpark figure, the cost for live-in care would be approximately £1,300 per week. This is substantially lower than care and nursing home fees. Read our advice on funding here.
​
What do I need to provide for my live-in carer?
All you need to provide our live-in carers is a bedroom with access to a bathroom. We encourage our carers and your loved ones to enjoy eating together, with them including carers in the weekly food shop. You can find out more about preparing for your live-in carer here.
​
Can I choose my live-in carer?
Absolutely. We spend time listening to the sort of person you would like, then we search for those whom we feel will offer you what you are looking for and send you a selection of people to choose form. The choice should always be yours.
​
What happens if my live-in carer goes on holiday or has time off?
When your carer wishes to have a holiday, simply call your dedicated customer service representative and we will match other carers to you, present them to you for selection and cover their break so that your loved ones would never be left without care.
​
Can a couple get a live-in carer together?
Yes, having live-in care is a great choice for couples and categorically represents excellent value for money when compared to paying for two people in a residential care home. The cost of having a live-in carer for a couple does not double when compared to a single person so it is absolutely beneficial. Find out more about the benefits of live-in carers for couples here.
How quickly can I arrange a live-in carer?
Often the same day when we work our magic! If you need emergency or urgent care, we can organise a carer to be with you within 24/48 hours. As a live-in care agency, we pride ourselves on making the care arrangement process simple, easy, and most importantly responsive to need.
​
What areas do you cover?
Access Care arranges the finest live-in carers throughout England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales. From Winchester to Dumfries, St Ives to Manchester, we are also able to arrange care for loved ones who live abroad.
Will my live-in carer be working 24/7?
No, nobody works 24hrs per day. Our Live-in Carers work with you for several weeks, working every day but not for 24hrs per day. They typically work a flexible 10 hours in each 24-hour period. This may include a 2-to-3-hour break in the day to enable the carer to support your loved ones at supper, in the evening and at bedtime. They will also get up once or twice in the night to support if required.
​
What do I pay an agency fee for?
The answer to this is actually very simple, the agency fee pays for us, the Access Care "behind the scenes team", and enables our business to operate and provide our service to you. We recruit, register, vet, and present carers to you and facilitate your live-in care journey with us. We are highly trained experts in recruitment and homecare and beaver away every day.
