How is live-in care different?  

Moving into a new environment at the best of times can be seriously stressful. For a younger adult with complex needs, mental health or learning disabilities, or your elderly loved one, it can be a daunting experience realising that their only option is to have to move into a residential care or nursing home.

For them, the thought of fitting into someone else’s set routines, such as set bedtimes, shower and meal times, can add huge pressure into a family situation and cause unnecessary strain to you and your loved one. However, live-in care is a very viable and popular option, many thousands of families are now turning to live-in care rather than moving out of the home that they know and love.

Live-in care is different, having a live-in carer come to stay in your own home, means that you get to keep to your chosen daily routines, furry pets can stay at home too - and friends and family can visit as and when they please. All your live-in carer needs is a spare room - they’ll then fit in seamlessly to your loved ones' daily routine, rather than your loved one having to fit into someone else’s - it’s a win-win situation. For your loved one, life remains largely unchanged, they just have someone new to support them on a round-the-clock basis, and a companion to share things with.
