Care at Home

People feel better at home, where the comfort, security and stability of familiar surroundings and routines allow them to feel more comfortable and at ease, which is particularly important in later life.

Our live-in carers offer individuals or couples a welcome and reassuring alternative to care homes, unpredictable community care and extended hospital stays. Many healthcare professionals agree that their patients recover more quickly, following illness or an operation, when they are able to recuperate in their own homes.

A live-in carer will benefit, not only an individual client but, the entire family. Our bespoke service has been helping families throughout the UK for over 50 years by offering a full 24/7 one-to-one service shaped by each client’s situation and needs, extending their independence and enabling daily freedom of choice.

A live-in carer can provide:

- 24/7 round-the-clock reassurance just moments away

- personal care - all aspects of a daily routine, including dressing/undressing, washing, showering, bathing, oral care, hair care, shaving, continence care and toileting

- companionship - help with social activities and outings

- general housework - shopping, cooking, laundry and cleaning

- help with looking after family pets

- total freedom of choice - such as choosing when to get up or go to bed

- freedom from the fixed visiting times and rigid daily routines.

Short-term care

Easily and quickly to organize short-term, a live-in care at home to support you or your loved one.

Offering peace of mind to clients and their families, live-in care is now often the preferred choice for many people. Home care offers those with a medical condition or recovering from an illness, the opportunity to stay at home in familiar surroundings with their local support network around them. Our carers live in the clients’ homes, enabling them to offer round the clock care and support. This can be a great reassurance to clients and their families and improves the overall health and wellbeing of the individual needing care.

The advantage of 24/7 care is priceless and we are confident we can help in any situation. An affordable care solution, private in-home care is less expensive than a care home and offers a more personal service within the comfort of the clients’ own homes.
