What To Provide for a Live-in Carer?

Not much is required as it might seem – Our kind and supportive carers are flexible and adapt to most environments. The key criteria that is necessary for our carers to function effectively and ensure the welfare of our carers include:

  • A Habitable Environment – our care staff can help with basic cleanliness and hygiene. All that’s needed is working utilities within the home. 

 

  • Bedroom – Your carer will need their own room for sleeping and resting. A simple bedroom with some storage provision for their personal belongings is fine.

 

  • Wi-Fi – A working Wi-Fi in the property is needed so that we can ensure effective communication can be guaranteed.


Time For Breaks – Your carer will need to take at 2-hour breaks each day for themselves at mutually

  • agreed times to ensure that they can take some time out during the day for themselves. 

 

  • Guidance – Our team is at hand to advise as to how we are best to make this work and what expectations you can have on your carer and their time given their continual presence in your home.

What are the benefits of live-in care?

If you’ve been the primary carer for your loved one, live-in care can bring plenty of benefits for both of you: 

 

Allows time to rest – caring for a loved one can be challenging and tiring. Taking the time to rest is great for your physical and mental health, allowing you to better care for your loved one in the future.
