OUR CARE / LIVE-IN & 24-HOUR CARE
Thinking about more continuous support?
Live-in care and 24-hour care are different arrangements. We would help clarify which model could meet your assessed needs and what staffing, breaks and cover would be necessary.
WHAT SUPPORT CAN LOOK LIKE
A whole-day view of life at home.
The examples below describe the support we are preparing to offer. Your assessment and agreed care plan would specify exactly what can be provided.
- Day-to-day personal carePlan support with washing, dressing, toileting, meals and agreed medication routines across the day.
- A familiar presenceMake room for conversation, preferred activities and support with the rhythm of the household.
- Live-in arrangementsDiscuss a professional staying in your home, including suitable accommodation, working hours, breaks and replacement cover.
- 24-hour arrangementsWhere continuous support is needed, plan a staffed rota with appropriate handovers and rest. One live-in professional does not work continuously for 24 hours.
- Nighttime needsAssess how often help is needed overnight and whether a separate waking-night arrangement is required.
- Continuity and reviewAgree how care records, handovers and reviews keep the support consistent as your needs change.
A LITTLE MORE PRACTICAL
How this might fit into a day
Someone who wants support throughout the day may explore live-in care. Someone who needs frequent assistance both day and night may need a rota of professionals providing continuous cover instead.
Before care begins, we would agree
- A picture of your support needs across a full day and night.
- The practical space and facilities available in your home.
- The staffing model, breaks, cover and costs, agreed before a start date is confirmed.
Care depends on assessment, suitability, staffing and availability. Clinical tasks would only be agreed where the required professional skills and arrangements are in place.
There’s room for
your questions, too.
