Live-in care in Home Care Liverpool provides an alternative and practical care to residential care, where people just require constant care but would not like to leave their own homes. Home to most individuals is synonymous with comfort, familiarity and identity. Leaving that environment may be difficult, especially when health requirements grow. Live-in care enables individuals to be provided with regular, 24-hour assistance and at the same time stay in a setting that feels secure and comforting.
In live-in care, a professional caregiver is invited to live in the home and be a stable and constant source. This is among the major strengths of the service because it is continuous. Rather than being taken care of by more than one or two caregivers, the individual forms a bond with one main care giver who understands their habits, likes and needs on a day-to-day basis. This familiarity in the long run helps to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and make the home setting less tense and nervous.
We also have time to understand the position of a person prior to the live-in care. This is their health condition, their mobility, their medication regime, their personal habits and the emotional requirements. Some like a day routine that is well organized and some prefer flexibility. We desire that the care should be suitable to the lifestyle rather than it should be imposed. We are especially concerned about matching each person with a caregiver with experience and personality that would suit him.
A live-in caregiver will be able to assist with numerous activities around the clock. This involves personal care like washing, dressing, grooming, toileting and mobility assistance and preparation of meals, household chores, laundry and assistance in maintaining a clean and secure living environment. Medication prompts and maintaining of routine are also aided by carers particularly to those who have complex health requirements.
Another aspect of live-in care is night-time support. There are people who might be nervous, lost, or physically unbalanced at night. The presence of a person near by helps in reassurance and eliminates the possibility of falls or distress. Live-in care provides the person with no time to feel alone, as he/she may need help getting up safely, reassurance during moments of confusion, or be monitored by medical conditions.
Live-in care is especially useful with individuals with dementia or long-term conditions, since consistency and familiarity have a significant contribution to emotional wellbeing. The understanding of triggers, communication style, and comfort needs of an individual by a caregiver will ensure that he or she responds in a calm and appropriate manner to help alleviate stress and ensure that a sense of normality is preserved.
Live-in care is usually a source of peace to families. Having the knowledge that a loved one is day and night being supported by a trained, caring professional will enable relatives to step aside of constant worry yet be part of the care decisions and good time spent together.
Our live in care service at Home Care Liverpool is founded on trust, patience and authentic human interaction. It enables individuals to maintain living life on their own terms in the place that they are familiar with knowing that assistance is always nearby.
