How does live in care work?

Live in care is when a carer lives in the property with the person they care for, this means they are available to provide one on one care around the clock as well as build a trusting and friendly relationship with an understanding of the patient’s needs and routines.

A live in carer in Woking will need their own room to sleep and live at the property and have agreed working hours and holiday, and they will be able to provide a level of care that just can’t be matched in residential or visiting care. It is ideal if you want dedicated care, have a complex condition or need assistance with a number of tasks.

What is the role of a live in carer?

A live in carer can provide a range of assistance such as light housework, food preparation and cooking, picking up prescriptions and shopping, pet care, assistance with mobility, accompaniment to medical appointments and social events, prompting medication and personal care such as help getting dressed, washed or going to the toilet.

A live in carer is there to provide one on one care, understand the needs of the patient and be there to provide as much or as little help as needed. They will encourage independence where it is safe to do so to help encourage mobility, learning life skills or to help with rehabilitation.

Why choose live in care services in Woking?

Live in care in Woking might be more affordable than you think, our prices are competitive because we understand the importance of providing dedicated one on one care and allowing someone to live or remain in their own home.

When it becomes apparent that someone needs additional care, it can be a difficult decision to place them into residential care or you yourself may not want to go into residential care, but visiting care might not be enough to suit the needs. Live in care services in Woking allow for someone to remain in their own home, hold onto that independence and stay where they have built memories over the years.

We understand this can be a stressful time and often people just want to get out of hospital and back in the comfort of their home, which is why we are there to provide help and support at this trying time.
