24 hour live-in care

A truly viable alternative to a Residential Home, allowing people to maintain their independence in the comfort of their own home

24 hour live-in care is exactly as it sounds; a carer lives with the client/s in their own home providing a bespoke service as desired.  The care package is tailored to specific needs and is flexible so that it may change as the needs of the client change.  Bespoke care plans are compiled during a meeting with an experienced member of the Caring 4 U team and the client, we also actively encourage family members or other concerned individuals to be present at the meeting.

A live-in carer may do as little or as much as is required, in general it includes the day-to-day running of the home coupled with the care needs of the client.

Some of the unique benefits of live-in care are:

Whilst the service provided is called 24 hour live-in care and a carer will indeed live in your home they are not expected to work 24 hours a day. Reasonably speaking a carer will be on duty for a period of 15 hours a day, out of which they will require break periods totalling two hours, this can be continuous or sporadic. However, each care package is individual and the working day will reflect this and will be managed accordingly.

Carers require their own bedroom with a bed, TV, chair and storage. Food and drink needs to be available for the carer whilst they reside in the client’s home. Should the carer have special dietary requirements then they are obliged to supply their own provisions.

Continuity of Care is paramount to our belief of providing a good service. Many of our carers remain with the client on a long term basis usually about 6-8 weeks and then take 1-2 weeks off to recharge their batteries. Carers are carefully selected prior to placement always ensuring that the client’s needs, wishes and requirements remain at the forefront.
