Why Live-in Care is the Best Option for Your Loved Ones

  29th June, 2024

Choosing the best care for our loved ones is crucial, particularly when it involves maintaining their health, happiness, and quality of life. Live-in care, especially from a trusted provider like Arbour Care, offers a personalised and comprehensive approach that surpasses many traditional care options. Here, we explore why live-in care from Arbour Care is the best choice for your loved ones.

1. Personalised and Continuous Care

Live-in care ensures that your loved one receives dedicated attention and support tailored to their specific needs. Unlike care homes, where staff must divide their time among many residents, a live-in carer from Arbour Care focuses solely on your family member. This individualised approach ensures that all their preferences, routines, and requirements are met, providing a high level of comfort and stability.

2. Comfort of Home

One of the most significant benefits of live-in care is that your loved one can stay in their own home, surrounded by familiar settings and cherished memories. This continuity can greatly enhance their emotional well-being and sense of independence. Arbour Care’s live-in services make it possible for your loved one to remain in the place they know and love, which is often a source of great comfort and security.

3. Companionship and Emotional Support

Loneliness can be a significant issue for the elderly, particularly if they live alone. Arbour Care’s live-in carers provide not just physical assistance but also companionship and emotional support. Sharing meals, engaging in conversations, and participating in activities together can greatly improve your loved one’s mental and emotional health.

4. Tailored Care Plans

Arbour Care understands that each individual has unique needs. Their live-in care services are designed to be flexible and adaptable, offering bespoke care plans that cater specifically to your loved one’s requirements. Whether it’s help with daily activities, medication management, or specialised care for conditions like dementia, Arbour Care provides comprehensive and personalised support.

5. Peace of Mind for Families

Having a live-in carer from Arbour Care means that your loved one is under constant supervision and care, which can bring immense peace of mind to families. Knowing that a professional is there to ensure their safety and well-being around the clock can alleviate much of the stress and worry associated with elder care.

6. Cost-Effective Care

While the initial cost of live-in care might seem higher compared to other options, it often proves to be more economical in the long run. With Arbour Care, you get a comprehensive service that includes all aspects of care, eliminating the need for multiple service providers. Additionally, the improved quality of life and health outcomes can lead to fewer medical expenses over time.

7. Enhanced Health Outcomes

Staying at home with personalised care from Arbour Care can lead to better health outcomes for your loved one. The comfort and familiarity of home, combined with the dedicated attention of a live-in carer, contribute to overall better physical and mental health. Carers can monitor and promptly respond to any changes in health, ensuring timely medical intervention when necessary.

  • "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."

  • "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."
