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 support to help with everyday tasks and care needs. It allows for someone to remain in their own home and receive care there, so they can continue to live comfortably and safely in a familiar environment.

When someone needs additional care due to a disability, progressive illness or decreasing mobility then live in care provides a solution that means their life can carry on as normally as possible and they can continue to see family when they want to, attend social clubs and enjoy the things they love.

What is the role of a live in carer?

A live in carer is there to provide help as and when needed depending on the needs of the person they care for. A live in carer in Guildford can help with a range of different everyday tasks, such as:

Light housework and gardening
Pet care
Preparing meals
Picking up prescriptions
Shopping
Help with mobility
Medical prompting and help
Personal care such as bathing, dressing and toileting.

A live in carer is there to support and aid someone in living comfortably in their own home; we respect the importance of maintaining independence where possible and will always encourage and help someone to carry out tasks by themselves when they want to and it is safe to do so.

Why consider live in care services in Guildford?

Live in care can provide the perfect solution when someone has increasing care needs or new care needs following an illness or stroke – allowing the transition to increasing assistance in their daily lives to feel more bearable because it’s in a familiar environment and their own home, keeping day to day life as normal as possible as it can be during this difficult time.

Live in care in Guildford provides an important option for individuals and their family who do not want to use residential care but are unable to provide full time care themselves due to family or work commitments or even their own mental wellbeing. Some people also prefer to be cared for by someone outside of the family.
