Myth Busting Live-in Care

Myth

Reality

“A care home is a better option if you need full-time care”

At Bluebird Care we provide live-in care as a great alternative to moving to a care home. You can remain in your own home with familiar surroundings, whilst receiving round the clock care.

This can be either long term if you have complex care needs and health challenges, or a short term care solution if you have recently been discharged from hospital and need support in regaining your independence. 

“You don’t get a choice of who your live-in carer is”

Each care assistant is trained and carefully matched to your individual requirements.

Our care assistants will respect you and your home, as well as your own space and privacy but will be immediately on hand to give professional care with the time and attention you would like, which cannot always be provided in a busy care home.

“Live-in Care is prohibitively expensive”

Here at Bluebird Care we make sure our pricing is completely transparent so there are no hidden costs.

It’s also important that you check if you are eligible for any funding too:

1. Claim all the benefits you’re entitled to
2. Apply for NHS Continuing Healthcare
3. Get funding from your local council
4. Use your assets

“The big decisions are taken out of your hands”

We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to care, our customers’ unique needs are considered every step of the way, meaning you stay in control of your care and support at all times. A member of our team will ask what is important about the way you live your life so we can provide the care you want, the way you want it.
