Live-in Care in the North East

What is live-in care?

Live-in care ensures that your loved one remains in the comfort of their own home and maintains their usual lifestyle for longer.

It is delivered by an experienced, fully trained, professional, and friendly Support Worker, who will move into the home of the individual requiring assistance.

This type of care is highly personalised and allows for one-to-one, around the clock support, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the care recepient.

Live-in care encompasses a wide range of care needs, and live-in carers are trained to help with many different circumstances, from those simply needing help with their personal care, through to those who may have more complex care needs.

Why choose live-in care?

1. One to one focus

Our live-in carers work exclusively with your loved one and spend the majority of their time interacting with them.

This one-on-one attention allows the live-in carer to develop a deep understanding of the preferences, routines, medical issues and support needs of your loved one, which means their care plan becomes more tailored and effective over time.

2. Comprehensive support

Our live-in carers provide a wide range of support services designed to enhance your loved one’s quality of life.

From assistance with personal hygiene and medication management, to meal preparation and housekeeping, our carers are equipped to handle various aspects of daily living.

This holistic approach ensures that all your loved one’s physical, emotional, and social needs are addressed, keeping them healthy and happy.

3. Independence

Staying at home means that your loved one can maintain their daily routine in a familiar setting, surrounded by their personal belongings and memories.

The presence of a live-in carer ensures that they can continue to live as independently as possible, pursuing their usual interests and retaining their normal lifestyle, whilst still getting the support they need to stay safe and healthy.
