What is Live-in Care

  13th April, 2017

Live-in care provides for a loved one the opportunity to retain their independence whilst ensuring that they receive the right sort of care.

Often, at some point, many of us will require a certain level of care in our lives. Identifying this can be a difficult process but also a necessary one.

Keeping our independence is an aspect of life most of us take for granted. However, life is unpredictable and things can change.

Whether taking the decision for a family member or for yourself, a lot of thought must go in to the process in order to ensure that you receive the right level of care.

What are the Options?

Moving a family member into a ‘home’ can be a harrowing experience for all involved and in the past, has often been seen as the only viable possibility.

Leaving your home where you have often spent a large part of your life or your loved one’s life is no easy task to undertake, but there is another way.

Live-in care has developed significantly over the last five years and provides families and individuals with the option to remain in their own home whilst ensuring that they are suitably cared for around the clock.

The opportunity to stay in your own home whilst receiving professional and personal care is a way for people requiring to keep their independence and to continue to live in their own home, but, at the same time, giving family and friends the peace of mind that they are looked after as if they were in a care home.

Your House Your Rules

The great thing that makes Live-in care such a growing sector is that your home stays your home and you make the rules.

It is the carer’s purpose to help you or your loved one fulfil any of the activities they may be having difficulty with.

Live-in care is tailored around the individual (or partners) needs no matter how complex that care might be.

Ensuring a retained quality of life and peace of mind is one of the major reasons why Live-in care is a growing market place and has become a viable option when considering care.

Intro vid

  • "We used Arbour Care to provide care for our parents while we were on holiday. Our parents were originally reluctant to have someone living in their home but eventually agreed that it was the best option. The care they received was so good, the carer cooked delicious meals (I need some recipe ideas!) she was company for Dad and made it possible for us to enjoy our holiday knowing there was someone available if anything was to happen. We would have no hesitation in recommending Arbour Care to anyone looking for care providers."

    JH Cambridge

  • "Arbour provided live-in carers for my wife for six years from 2017-2023 including the pandemic. My main impression is of a very professional organisation in which owners and staff worked all the time to provide the support the client needed at as high a standard as possible. They gave equal attention to statutory requirements, care plans and staff training and never cut any corners."

    Mark

  • "The support that we have had from Arbour Care has been, quite literally, lifesaving. They found an amazing carer to look after my elderly and disabled husband, who is very experienced, kind and thoughtful. She has made an enormous positive difference to the quality of our lives and I will always be grateful to her and cannot thank her enough."
