Research shows that 71% of elderly people would rather live at home than anywhere else, but people often mistakenly believe that when their health deteriorates, residential care is the only way forward. Most Health Professionals disagree – stating that staying in your own home will result in better health and wellbeing.
Home Instead specialise in providing award winning care to enable you to live independently at home for as long as possible. They offer care from as little as one or two visits a week all the way to Live-in Care providing whatever support you need, when you need it. In recent years Home Instead have seen the popularity of Live-in Care increase as it becomes recognised as a cost-effective way of staying in the home that you love. With Live-in care you benefit from genuine one to one care which is unheard of in residential care. Care is tailored to your needs, your daily routine, and provides friends and family with the reassurance that all your needs are being met.
Why choose Live-in Care?
Staying at home has numerous compelling benefits that are increasingly being recognised when compared to the care delivery at a residential care home. Residential care will never be as personal as care in your own home. In contrast to this, a Live-in home care service that provides one-on-one care is personalised to an individual’s needs and encourages choice in all decisions, including meals and how to live life, allowing a person to pursue personal hobbies and activities. Simply put, carers have time to go the extra mile.
When choosing Live-in Care for yourself or a loved one with Home Instead, we will carefully select one of our highly trained Live-in Care Professionals to be the dedicated carer using our relationship-led matching service. This enables them to stay at home for as long as possible, continuing their preferred routine and remain in their familiar surroundings where they’re comfortable.
When arranging home care one of our client managers will support you and your family in the configuration of the personalised care plan using their expertise alongside the needs of your loved one. This is the best way to receive ongoing support and companionship needed to enhance your life.
