Companionship and support

One of the most important and valued aspects of a live-in carers role is the provision of companionship and support. For many people with live-in carers, simply having someone friendly on hand to chat with about their opinions and experiences can improve their happiness and quality of life immeasurably.

In cases where friends or family are able to visit only intermittently, or are absent altogether, a live-in carer can be a best friend to the person receiving care. Sharing quality time with an understanding and caring friend is both comforting and therapeutic.

In this capacity, a live-in carer can become a trusted companion with whom to enjoy recreational activities such as trips to the cinema, theatre or social club; take short breaks with; play cards or games or share a hobby with. They may simply be someone that the person receiving care may relax and chat with over a cup of tea.

Live-in carers provide security and peace of mind

Above all else, live-in carers give those they care for, and their families and loved ones, security and peace of mind.

Knowing that a fully trained, compassionate and trustworthy live-in carer is always around to ensure continued wellbeing and safety, and who can respond quickly and appropriately in the event of an emergency, is immensely reassuring.

Why live in care at home?

Live-in care helps people live well at home for longer by providing specialist care in the comfort of the home. Our fully managed service provides you with the assistance you require to safely maintain your independence, avoiding the trauma of upheaval for those in need of full time support.

Independence, dignity and choice

For many, moving in the later years of life to unfamiliar surroundings can cause significant trauma. However good residential or nursing care is, the institutional nature of it means losing one's independence is almost always inevitable, this can have grave effects on your mental and physical health.

Choosing 24-hour care at home provides a number of key benefits:

• Stay in control over life for longer
• Benefit from having your routines, privacy and preferences respected and listened to
• Keep up with hobbies, interests and clubs in your local community
• Maintain relationships and family life - seeing friends and family in a relaxed and familiar environment for everyone
• Use home surroundings to stimulate care - such as the ground-breaking SPECAL method for dementia
• Keeping the Same GP
• Keeping your pets

Familiar and safe surroundings

We passionately believe that most people want to stay in their homes for as long as possible. Home is where your belongings, treasures, pets and memories are. Where the family is used to coming to visit and where your community can support you. This is especially important for people living with dementia, as familiarity is hugely important to overall health and well-being.

Live in care makes it possible to continue enjoying these comforts, whilst receiving the support you require.

By choosing live-in care with Bluebird Care Bury and Bolton, you are choosing to continue living with choice and control, surrounded by your families and communities.

Ensuring that dietary and nutritional needs are met

A balanced diet and the intake of adequate nutrition and hydration are essential for the maintenance of health and wellbeing. As a result of a medical condition, you or your loved one may experience a reduced appetite, a loss of interest in eating or may need assistance with eating.

A live-in carer can help by shopping for groceries, preparing favourite meals which are healthy and nutritious yet respect your food preferences and by making sure that you or your loved one are getting enough to eat and drink.

Understanding nutrition is an essential part of being a live-in carer – some medical conditions require particular diets, or special ways of preparing foods. People with dementia often require diets which are highly colourful, or which they can eat with their fingers ‘on the hoof’. Texture modified diets for people with swallowing difficulties must be prepared to exact specifications, too little or too much pureeing can pose more risks. People living with conditions like MS or cancer may have extremely specific nutritional diets that live-in carers will understand and be able to deliver.

But the most important aspect of dietary needs is the enjoyment of food. A home cooked meal, prepared to your specifications, served in your home, in good company, can do wonders for our sense of wellbeing.
