Live-In Care
Find home care near you
Home is where the heart is – but what happens when people need a little extra help to continue doing all the things they used to be able to manage so easily?
In certain situations, live-in carers may be required to ensure individuals are able to stay safe, happy and comfortable in the place they love the most: their own home. Where this is deemed necessary, Blossom Home Care will be delighted to provide highly-trained and experienced specialist carers to provide bloomin’ good care.
Live-in care focuses on dignity and respect, helping clients retain their independence whilst enabling them to have the freedom to continue making choices on their own terms.
Emotional wellbeing is equally as important as physical health, so our live-in carers are not only a constant source of help and support, but also an excellent companion. Many of our clients develop strong bonds with their carers and consider them as their “very caring” friends.
Live-in care often works especially well if there are two or more people in a household that require varying levels of home care
A key benefit of live in care is how significantly more cost-effective it is as opposed to moving loved ones into permanent nursing or residential care homes.
However, it is important to note that live-in care is distinctly different to 24-hour care – which requires a more specific and comprehensive package of care.
When contacting the Blossom Home Care team about the potential adoption of live-in carers, we will conduct an assessment and advise exactly what care the client(s) need.
What makes Blossom Home Care live-in care different?
We believe live-in carers should be more than just being on hand to help clients cope with day-to-day tasks. They should also be there to keep clients engaged, motivated, happy and healthy. We achieve this by:
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Social workers
- Mental health workers
- Physiotherapists
- Other healthcare professionals
Entrusting Blossom Home Care to liaise with the client’s MDT and support staff alleviates a lot of strain on family members – especially those who may also be doubling up as carers.
Having our experienced, professional carers look after the client with a bespoke care plan allows you to rest easy that they are getting the top-quality attention they need.
