What are the benefits of having a live-in care assistant?

Specially recruited, trained and mentored Live-In Care Assistants

Our Carers understand that working as a Live-In Care Assistant is about more than just helping with personal care and medication management. It is about really getting to know the person they are caring for and to be their companion who they can talk to and go out with. All of our Live-In Care Assistants go through a three day training program and are regularly supervised and spot checked to make sure they are maintaining the highest standard of care. We also guide the Carers through their personal and professional development with a range of training courses.

Consistent Care Assistants & detailed hand overs

We provide two regular Live-In Care Assistants who will work alternate weeks to help develop a strong relationship of trust between Customer and Carer. At the end of each week the Live-In Care Assistants have a detailed hand over with each other to ensure that no information is missed and that there is as little disruption as possible. The handover will include any changes in health condition, any changes in medication and other key points that have happened during the week.

The people who are important to you

We know that being able to spend quality time with family and friends is very important and is best enjoyed when they don’t need to be worrying about the Customers care needs. By having a Live-In Care Assistant they are able to ensure that all care needs are meet and quality time can remain quality time.

Pets

We understand that our Customers’ cats, dogs, budgies, goldfish (the list goes on!) are more than just pets, they are members of the family and provide a great source of comfort. By being able to stay in their own home there is no need for our Customers to find a new home for their animals as they can also be looked after and supported by the Live-In Care Assistant.
