How Does Live-in Care Work?

A live-in carer is a carer that lives at the home of the person they are caring for so they can provide round-the-clock care and help them with a range of daily tasks. This is an ideal option for somebody who requires full-time care and would benefit from companionship and being able to stay in their own home rather than moving to a residential home.

The carer will need their room and there will be agreed hours, but generally, they will be there to provide constant support to ensure the person they care for is safe and comfortable.

What is the Role of a Live-In Carer?

A live-in carer in Cambridge will be there to assist with a range of different tasks depending on the needs and requirements of the patient. They can help with housework, cooking, shopping, attending appointments, medication prompting, looking after pets and personal care such as bathing, dressing and toileting.

They can help with mobility such as hoisting, getting in and out of bed, out and about and seeing family. They can also help with some medical needs such as blood sugar monitoring, stoma care, catheter management, prompting oxygen and managing PEG feeds.

A live-in carer in Cambridge is there to make life easier and more comfortable for the person they are caring for.

Why Consider Live-In Care Services in Cambridge?

Live-in care in Cambridge can have many benefits. First and foremost, it means that even if someone requires round-the-clock care, they can remain in their own home and a familiar environment where their family can visit them at any hour and any day.

For some, this familiarity is very important and allows them to maintain their normal life as much as possible, attending social events and clubs or maintaining some independence around the home. With live-in care, care can be a lot more flexible and bespoke to the individual and it’s possible to retain independence to carry out certain tasks with help there if needed.

Live-in care can be a lot more affordable than you think, making it a viable option for more and more people who want to stay at home and would benefit from one-to-one care.
