Live-in care is often called 24 hour live-in care as it is available at any time of the day. Another fantastic benefit to 24 hour live-in care is that it can be taken advantage of 24 hours throughout the day, which means that your loved ones can indeed be cared for consistently and at all times.

How does live-in care work?

Esteemed Life Care offers a variety of different live-in care services, each of which can be adapted depending on the needs, wishes and preferences your loved ones. Essentially, one of our live-in carers helps your loved ones with all areas of daily living as well as anything they may have trouble achieving themselves. This can range from simple tasks such as cooking to vital care like taking medication.

Live-in care is a delightful alternative to moving to a care home, as it not only removes any of the stresses brought on by moving but also grants your loved one a sense of familiarity and security within their own home. Above all else, our live-in caregivers offer your loved ones a sense of companionship, ensuring that they’re never alone when they need help and granting you peace of mind that they’re receiving care in a warm, friendly and effective manner.

Who is live-in care for?

Here at Esteemed Life Care we understand that anyone can require help, which is why our live-in carers are available to provide care for those who need it, regardless of their age. Most commonly our services are catered to elderly clients who wish to remain at home in Coventry yet require help in order to maintain their preferred quality of life.

Our live-in caregivers ensure that our elderly clients receive all the support they need without imposing on such important elements of life as seeing friends and family, enjoying the company of beloved pets or simply relaxing in their own home.

We also specialise in supporting younger clients with the same exemplary level of support and care should they require it, no matter what their needs may be. Our live-in carers understand just how important enjoying a normal life is for any client and makes sure this is the same for any younger clients. Whether they’re attending college or university, working a regular job or just want to be able to socialise with their friends, our friendly caregivers work hard to adapt to a young client’s lifestyle.

The aid and support provided by our live-in carers strive to help younger clients just as much as elderly clients, and by granting as much independence and freedom as possible.

No matter who requires live-in care, our friendly live-in caregivers are available for however long they are needed. There are no time restrictions on live-in care; your loved ones can enjoy their assistance and companionship for virtually any amount of time throughout the day.

The duration of live-in care can also be specifically planned out to cater to you, whether you are your loved one’s main carer and need a holiday to recharge.

A day in the life of Live In Care

The care, attention and dedication required from our live-in caregivers means that they are all highly trained as care and support professionals, which means each and every Esteemed Care Life caregiver can deliver professional and compassionate support.

An equal level of care goes into ensuring that all our caregivers are warm and accommodating companions. No task is too big or too small for our live-in carers, as everything your loved ones could want from daily living is covered. This includes, but is not limited to, cooking meals, helping with laundry, and accompanying clients to and from the shops, appointments and social activities.

Esteemed Life Care offers specialised care for your loved ones to ensure that they get the most out of their day to day life. Tailored 24 hour live-in care is provided to each and every client, which is catered exclusively to their needs, wishes and preferences. This means that the time our live-in caregivers spends with your loved ones is carefully considered to make sure they’re living life fully and enjoyably.

This kind of live-in care can cover almost anything a client could want or need, such as beginning the day with a healthy breakfast, followed by assisting them with getting dressed, helping them use the bathroom and bathe, then continuing throughout the day with any and all tasks they want to achieve.

There’s also variants of 24 hour live-in care that can be perfect for clients who are more independent and focus more on offering them an element of companionship. Even though some clients may wish to maintain their independence and may not require assistance with day-to-day tasks this does not mean the quality of the live-in service will be any less.

Help with household chores, adding a little zest to home cooking and simply being there as a friend to talk to; these elements of 24 hour live-in care, and more, are granted to your loved ones by our compassionate caregivers.

What are the benefits of Live-in Care at home?

When people think of home, they always think of the same things; comfort and familiarity. No one envisions spending any part of their life anywhere but in a place they can call their own, and this shouldn’t change just because they need specialist care.

This is what puts live-in care above many other care and support options, as even considerably challenging impediments to good health and a good life can be countered with 24 hour live-in care.

Some may believe that certain specialist care is only available in the likes of hospitals and care homes, though thanks to the exceptional skills, qualifications and caring capabilities of our dedicated and diligent live-in carers this may not be the case.

You can’t put a price on feeling comfortable in your surroundings; staying at home, where there’s surely a lifetime of memories and a wealth of personal belongings, is certainly better than the strange and possibly scary surroundings your loved ones may fear from hospitals and care homes.

At the end of the day, we believe that home is where the heart is; and when your loved ones are going through tough times that require a little bit of extra special help there truly is no better place to recover and gain respite than their own homes.

What is the difference between Live-in Care and other care services?

One of the most defining characteristics of live-in care compared to essentially any other care service provided by Esteemed Life Care is its adaptability. Though 24 hour live-in care can cover a wide array of different care needs, it can also be utilised for elements of companionship that other services often lack, or at least, do not focus on as much.

Another key difference live-in care provides as opposed to other care services, such as domiciliary care, is that it is much more tailored to your loved ones’ needs. 24 hour live-in care can focus around the individual, providing constant support that is given in order to meet your loved ones’ needs, ensuring comfort and dignity.

Those seeking the likes of quick check ups, minor assistance and support for loved ones capable of caring for themselves throughout most of their day should consider domiciliary care, as this level of support frequently consists of short visits. It’s with live-in care that you can be sure that your loved one is truly getting all of the help that they need, for however long they need it.

What’s the difference between Live-in Care and Care Homes?

Live-in care offers an incredible level of care and support for your loved ones within their own homes, granting them home comforts, a sense of independence and plenty of one-on-one companionship. As the name implies, having your loved ones receive help and support at a care home means that they spend their days entirely within a care home whereas 24 hour live-in care provides many of the essential care services a care home can offer; all in the comfort of their own home.

Your loved ones deserve the best level of care possible, so you should certainly discuss which type of support is required to accommodate their wants and needs, though some may be surprised by how much specialised care 24 hour live-in care can provide. Every care service our highly trained live-in caregivers provide is at your loved ones’ disposal 24/7 with 24 hour live-in care, ensuring they can live their life to the fullest in familiar surroundings. With this kind of support available in a home environment is undeniably more of a preferable alternative to care homes, the likes of which can appear unpleasant or even scary.

Live-in care can certainly be tailored to grant your loved ones the care and support they require, though even as talented and capable as Esteemed Life Care’s caregivers may be there is a limit to how specialised their support can be some individuals may require services of a medical nature that we do not provide. Live-in care can serve as the perfect means of accommodating your loved ones both in comfort and care.
