Live-in care vs. residential care
Bluebird Care Croydon are a local, fully managed Live-in Care and home care service, never more than 20 minutes away if you or your carer need us. Our care assistants can also provide some of the nursing-led support residential care homes can provide, including stoma and catheterisation.

Stay in the home you love, surrounded by all that matters to you |
You cannot take all your belongings with you, including your pets |

Very little tailored care as there are so many people to satisfy |
Your privacy is maintained |
Communal living and lack of privacy |
You can do different things on different days as you so choose |
Timetables that suit the care team rather than you and this includes waiting to get washed and dressed |
You can trial Live-in and see whether it suits you – without having to move - with no obligation |
Once you have sold your home and moved into residential care, it’s very hard to change your mind |
You can maintain your lifestyle, dignity and uniqueness |
Your routines are decided for you |
