Live-in care

How we can help

Live-in care is practical, emotional, and personal care provided around-the-clock in the individual’s own home. Our expert carers live in the house, providing support, a helping hand, and sometimes nursing care 24 hours a day. Our carers will assist with chores, support personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting, prepare food, and keep them safe. They also offer a friendly face, a chat, and a little company. Depending on needs, our live-in carers can also manage more complex tasks. They can manage incontinence, administer medication, and sensitively supervise your loved one to ensure safety day and night.

Who is live-in care for?

Many people need live-in care as they grow older. Dementia, diseases, and disabilities can make it a struggle to live safely without support. However, for people who can’t manage alone, a care home is not the only option. Live-in carers can provide practical, emotional, and nursing support, day and night. Live in carers provide live in home help for people with dementia, advanced conditions such as Parkinson’s and Stoke, and mobility problems. Temporary live-in care can support those who are recovering from operations, illnesses, or accidents. Live in home care allows your loved one to stay safe, healthy, and independent in their home.

S C Care Services live-in carers will:

Support families and help individuals manage chores and the daily challenges of life. Carers offer a helping hand with:

Personal care

Live in carers assist with dressing, washing, and toileting, ensuring your loved one stays clean, comfortable, and well-presented.

Household Chores

Live-in home carers help the home run smoothly. They will lend a hand with cleaning, laundry, preparing meals, and running errands.

Mobility

Arthritis, stroke, or degenerative conditions can affect movement to increase the risk of falls. A carer can help your loved one get up in the morning, support safe movement around the home, and prevent trips and falls.

Medication

Taking the right tablet at the right time is confusing, especially if your memory is impaired. A carer can provide a gentle reminder or oversee medication to prevent omissions and overdoses.

Qualities of our
live-in carers

When your loved one needs around-the-clock,finding the right individual is vital. The carers have the experience, expertise, temperament, and personality for their needs.

There are several things to consider. Practical skills, training, and qualifications are important. But you should listen to your heart as well as your head so that you can find the person who will gel with your loved one and fit in with the family.

Our carers are patient, respectful, empathetic, and reliable.

After a lifetime of independence, it can be difficult to receive care. Our carers are sensitive, and discreet. They will offer support without being intrusive or patronising.

Our carers will assist with chores, deal with personal care, and help around the house.

Certificates aren’t always essential, but care qualifications show basic knowledge, understanding, and training. A nursing qualification is important for people with complex care needs.

All our cares have previously cared for people in their own homes.

When it comes to caring, the most critical things to consider are chemistry and connection. We offer a trial session, in your presence, so that you can observe their interaction. Think about how the carer responds to your loved one, and how comfortable and relaxed your loved one appears in their company.
