Could you be looking for Live-in care?

Live-in care is whereby our experienced Care Assistant would live with you in your own home and support you throughout the day and/or night for one-to-one support with your loved one, as opposed to regular scheduled visits throughout the day. This can be beneficial for people that require either companionship or personal care tasks and are looking to avoid going into a care home.

The Differences:

Round the clock tailored support can be provided as opposed to regular visits
Provides a genuine alternative to selling up and moving to a care home
Keeps couples together in the home they love
Avoidance of surrendering pets
Specialist support including catheter care, stoma care, and PEG care.
Overnight care and daily companionship (including accompaniment with outings)
Continue to engage in favourite pastimes, with your favourite people, in the community you are used to

Frequently Asked Questions

Who will be my care assistant?

Once a care plan has been written, we always seek to find someone who will be a good match for you, your needs, your interests and your personality. This could mean recruiting particularly for your support so you can build a relationship with a main carer (or care team).

What does it cost?

The cost of live-in care varies dependent on each person, their care and support needs and the number of hours a care assistant will be considered to be ‘working’.

If you need more care and support than can be offered by a single live-in care assistant additional charges may apply for provision of 24 hour care and support either through a ‘double’ live-in care package with two live-in care assistants or with support from visiting care assistants at set times through the day and night.

For more information on our pricing, please book a consultation with our Bluebird Care office.

What if I need help 24 hours a day?

Some people need to be supported at all times, including through the night. Live-in care is not always a 24 hour service but it can be.

If you do need 24 hour support there are some different ways that this can be done and we will always work with you to find the best way to support you which you are most happy with.

Because all of our care and support is based on an individual assessment there is no catch-all answer to this question, but our assessors will work with you to find the best combination of support to meet your needs and preferences and ensure you remain safe at home.

What is it like to live with a Care Assistant?

Your live-in care assistant will be respectful of your privacy in the same way that you are of theirs and will keep their private space tidy and clean, ensuring they respect the security of you home by following your instructions on locking windows and doors.

They will not invite other people into your home (ie: their family and friends), if they wish to socialise during their breaks they will leave your home to do so.

You may wish to enjoy your mealtimes with your live-in care assistant and as such may have shared meals, however your preferences in this will be discussed during your assessment and where appropriate separate dining arrangements can be included in your care plan.
