What is live-in care?
In short, Live-in Care is a form of domiciliary care. It is a safe and affordable alternative to a residential care home that gives you control over your care, bringing you consistent, one-to-one support in the comfort of your home.
A committed, full-time Care Professional will move into the home to assist with care needs as well as domestic tasks. This form of care enables you or your loved one to live independently while receiving professional care.
Belfast Live-in Care
At Home Instead Belfast, we provide one-to-one care and support in your home that ranges from companionship care to complex care for health issues such as dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease and cerebral palsy.
A professional live-in care worker called a Care Professional is matched to you, your care needs and your situation. They will come and live with you, giving you one-to-one support as and when required, in the comfort of your own home.
With live-in care, a Care Professional is chosen to be a companion to your loved one to live in their home and support with daily activities. It’s all down to you and your loved one to decide how many hours of care you require each day.
A live-in Care Professional is available not only as a companion but as a source of comfort and care, day and night. You can be confident that help is at hand for your loved one in the event that any unforeseen circumstances occur.
For people who need round-the-clock care and want to remain in their own home, we can usually arrange a team of Care Professionals to ensure that your relative is receiving attentive care 24 hours a day.
A Care Professional will be matched to your loved ones based on their shared interests and personalities. We only employ kind, caring people with huge hearts, and this means a strong bond of trust is formed. The client’s needs always come first.
You and your loved one will decide the Care Professional’s usual hours of work which will be when you believe you will need the most assistance. When not working their agreed hours, your Care Professional will be able to rest, sleep, and enjoy the usual activities of living at home.
Live-in care is one of the safest care at home options available and allows individuals to enjoy life in their home surrounded by memories and collectables instead of living in a residential care home setting.
Our Live-in Care service is fully managed, and before anything happens, we work through a process of creating care plans that are entirely personalised around the needs of care. We agree on how many days a week the Care Professional will be with you, whether you need full-time care, what type of care is needed. This could be anything from personal care to specialised care such as dementia care.
Our home care services encompass all aspects of care to ensure your loved one can live independently at home with peace of mind that they are in safe and familiar surroundings.
Is Live-in Care Safe?
Live-in care is one of the safest care options available.
The risk of infection from outside your home is reduced when you have a Care Professionalfessional residing with you. Other care options typically have multiple healthCare Professionalfessionals coming in and out of the house.
Our most important priority is to keep you as safe and shielded as possible while enjoying a higher quality of life from being in the comfort of your home.

Choosing Live-in Care
There are common situations, conditions and events where live-in care offers the solution to challenges you might face moving forward:
Long-term conditions: Diseases like Parkinson’s require close and careful monitoring. Our Care Professionals are trained to observe any changes to a client’s health, wellbeing and behaviour, ready to take action if there is ever a cause for concern.
Dementia care: Living at home means staying in familiar surroundings and maintaining those daily routines that might not be possible in residential care. Home care suits somebody living with dementia, where continuity of life in the home they have grown to love is proven to be beneficial.
Losing a spouse: When a spouse dies, it takes some time to adjust, not just emotionally but practically too. A Care Professional can be a much-needed companion and fulfil the support role that was recently lost.
Frailty: Getting older for many means not being able to do the simplest of things, even lifting the kettle to make a cup of tea. Live-in care can support someone who is becoming frail to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Unexpected illness and events: Whether it’s a fall or a sudden illness, your loved one could be susceptible to events that may quickly have a need for care. Professional help will relieve the pressure from you and your family.
