Live Safely and Comfortably at Home

Life is full of difficult decisions, and one of the most challenging is choosing care for yourself or a loved one. Ageing, chronic illness, dementia, and other long-term conditions can make daily life increasingly difficult. Everyday tasks that were once simple, such as cooking, bathing, or taking medication, may require support, and families often face the emotional strain of knowing when professional help is necessary.

Finding care that maintains independence, provides safety, and respects the individual’s dignity is essential, yet navigating the options can feel overwhelming. Questions such as “Will they be happy in a care home?” or “How can we ensure round-the-clock support?” are common concerns. Families want reassurance that their loved one is receiving expert care, while individuals want to continue living life in a familiar, comfortable environment.

At Independent People Homecare, we specialise in 24-hour home care, a service designed to provide personalised, compassionate support tailored to each person’s needs. Our goal is to help individuals live safely in their own homes for as long as possible, while providing families with peace of mind that their loved one is being properly cared for every hour of the day and night.

What is 24-Hour Home Care?

24-hour home care, also referred to as live-in care, is a professional service that provides continuous support in the comfort and security of an individual’s own home. Unlike residential care facilities, which can be disruptive and unfamiliar, live-in care allows people to maintain their routines, enjoy familiar surroundings, and remain close to cherished belongings and memories.

This service is ideal for a wide range of situations, from long-term age-related support to temporary care following illness or surgery. It provides the stability of constant care while respecting the individual’s autonomy and lifestyle preferences.

Who Can Benefit from 24-Hour Home Care?

  • Elderly individuals who may be experiencing reduced mobility, difficulty managing personal hygiene, or challenges with meal preparation. Maintaining a familiar environment helps reduce confusion and provides emotional comfort.
  • People living with dementia or cognitive decline, who benefit from consistent routines and supervision. Our carers provide reassurance, structure, and engagement that help reduce anxiety and agitation.
  • Individuals with chronic or debilitating conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or post-stroke recovery, who require ongoing support with mobility, therapy exercises, and daily activities.
  • People recovering from surgery or serious illness, where continuous assistance can prevent complications, ensure proper medication administration, and aid in rehabilitation.

Benefits of 24-Hour Home Care

  • Enables individuals to maintain independence while receiving professional support.
  • Reduces the stress, disruption, and potential confusion associated with moving to a care home.
  • Offers companionship and emotional support, helping to prevent loneliness and isolation.
  • Ensures consistent health monitoring, including medication management and prompt attention to changes in condition.
  • Encourages participation in hobbies, social activities, and personal routines, enhancing overall wellbeing.

How Our 24-Hour Home Care Service Works

Our 24-hour home care service combines the expertise of trained carers with a highly personalised approach. Each care plan is designed around the individual’s specific needs, lifestyle preferences, and medical requirements.

Key Features of Our Service Include:

  • Continuous Support: A trained carer is available 24/7, providing reassurance and assistance at all times. This ensures immediate help in emergencies or daily challenges.
  • Personalised Care Plans: We assess every aspect of the individual’s needs, from physical and emotional support to medical requirements. Care plans align with personal routines and lifestyle choices.
  • Medication and Health Management: Carers monitor schedules, assist with administration, and alert family or medical professionals to changes in condition.
  • Daily Living Assistance: Carers help with bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, and mobility support while promoting independence.
  • Companionship and Engagement: Carers provide meaningful companionship, social interaction, and engagement in hobbies and activities.

Understanding Costs for 24-Hour Home Care

The cost of 24-hour home care depends on several factors:

  • Level of care required: Comprehensive personal care, medical monitoring, and mobility assistance increase costs.
  • Number of carers needed: Rotating shifts may be required for continuous coverage.
  • Duration and frequency: Temporary, short-term, or long-term care affects overall pricing.
  • Location: Regional differences across the UK influence costs.

We provide transparent pricing and tailored quotes after a free consultation, ensuring families can plan without unexpected costs. Some care costs may also be eligible for local authority or NHS support, and our team can advise on funding options and applications.

Is 24-Hour Home Care Right for You or Your Loved One?

Choosing care is both an emotional and practical decision. 24-hour home care offers a bridge between independent living and residential care, allowing individuals to stay in the comfort of their home while receiving professional support. This service preserves quality of life, emotional security, and dignity.

Signs That 24-Hour Care May Be Needed

  • Frequent Falls or Mobility Challenges: Difficulty moving safely or frequent trips/falls indicate the need for round-the-clock support.
  • Difficulty with Personal Care or Medication Management: Struggling with bathing, dressing, toileting, or medication administration requires professional oversight.
  • Cognitive or Memory Changes: Confusion, memory lapses, or behavioural changes, often linked to dementia, benefit from structured routines and reassurance.
  • Social Isolation and Loneliness: Lack of meaningful social interaction can impact mental and physical health. Carers provide companionship and engagement.
  • Need for Constant Supervision or Immediate Assistance: Medical or complex care needs require carers on hand at all times to ensure safety and wellbeing.

24-hour home care maintains independence while providing professional support, reduces stress for families, and helps avoid premature relocation to a care home.
