Live-in Care & Pets

Live-in care is a type of home care service. A home care service simply means that you are supported by a care worker in your own home. The difference with live-in care is that your care assistant will live in your home with you rather than only visiting at times when specific care or support is needed. This can be a great option for people who want to remain independent and in familiar surroundings, but who need help with day-to-day activities, including looking after beloved pets.

Live-in care has a number of benefits which we will be exploring through our latest blog series – Exploring Live-in Care with Bluebird Care. In this blog article we look at how live-in care can help someone to stay in the home they love, with their beloved pets.

One of the benefits of live-in care is that it allows older people and people with disabilities to keep their pets. Many residential and nursing care homes do not allow pets, so this can be a major factor in deciding whether to choose live-in care.

A live-in care assistant can help with all aspects of pet care, including:

• Feeding and watering
• Walking and exercising
• Grooming and bathing
• Taking to the vet
• Cleaning up accidents
• Providing companionship

The live-in care assistant can also help to ensure that the pet is safe and well-behaved, and that they are not a nuisance to others.

Here are some of the benefits of live-in care with pets:

• Older people and people with disabilities can stay in their own homes, which can be more comforting and familiar than a residential or nursing care home.
• Pets can provide companionship and emotional support, which can help to improve mental and physical health.
• Live-in care assistants can help with all aspects of pet care, so older people and people with disabilities do not have to worry about it.
• Pets can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can be beneficial for people with health conditions.

There are many benefits to live-in care with pets, and it can be a great way to stay independent and in familiar surroundings while receiving the care you need.
