Live-in carers don’t just support people living by themselves, they can also live with you if you are part of a couple or live with a friend. Having to say goodbye to your partner because they are moving to a care home can be extremely daunting and upsetting, often leaving you feeling hopeless and completely heartbroken. This is why a live-in carer can enable you to continue living the life you, your partner or spouse are familiar with in the comfort of your home environment with extra support.
Having a live-in carer enables you as a couple to have peace of mind by having support available 24/7 that you can call on day and night. Your carer can provide support for you both as a couple so that you can continue to live together. If you are a couple and only one of you requires support, that is fine, your carer will provide support for you within a couple in the same household. Your carer will assist you and take you on daily outings or if you both want to go on holidays.
Having a live-in carer means you or your loved ones can continue to live in the comfort of their own home while being in a familiar environment without having to compromise your independence, freedom or choice.
For some people having a live-in carer means they get to say in their home environments where they may have brought up their children or have some cherished memories. The carer will get to live with both of you in your own home 24/7 and the good thing is you do not have to make a decision to leave your home or go to a residential care home.
