How does live-in care work?

Live-in care is when a carer lives at the home of the person they care for, allowing them to provide round-the-clock care as and when needed. The carer will need to have their room, but their base at the home means they can be there to provide care at all hours of the day such as help getting out or into bed, assistance getting to the toilet during the night and that added sense of security at night – especially if living alone.

It allows someone to remain in their own home and a familiar environment rather than move into residential care.

What is the role of a live-in carer?

A live-in carer is there to provide help and assistance as and when needed, they are there to make life easier for the person they care for and allow them to live a comfortable life at home.

A live-in carer in Brighton could take on any number of tasks such as:

Help with personal care (getting dressed, bathing and toileting)

Why consider live-in care services in Brighton?

Live-in care in Brighton allows someone to remain in their own home despite increasing care needs. Despite our best intentions, it can be difficult for family members to take on the full burden of care for a loved one, especially if they have other family or work commitments, not to mention the strain on relationships and mental health.

Live-in care allows someone to remain in the home where they have built memories and feel comfortable and safe where family can visit them at any time of the day or night and life can go on mainly as normal.
