Live-in Care East Dorset

Here at Home Instead East Dorset, we understand that it can be challenging to balance the demands of everyday life and look out for your ageing family and friends. Yet, more of us are trying to do just that.

We have a team of wonderful local Care Pros who are able to support you and your loved one with day-to-day activities while remaining in the comfort of their homes. Our live-in home care is person-centred, meaning that the care we provide is based on the individual’s needs, conditions, and circumstances. 

Home care allows people to remain in a familiar place, surrounded by memories and items collected throughout the years. What makes Home Instead East Dorset unique is that we go above and beyond to build incredible relationships with our clients and provide the support they need to allow them to live a happy and high quality of life at home.

At Home Instead  East Dorset, 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 Pro 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 Home Instead live-in care, a Care Pro 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 Pro 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 Pros to ensure that your relative is receiving attentive care 24 hours a day.

A Care Pro 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 Pro’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 Pro 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 Pro 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.

• Assisting vulnerable adults to safely self-isolate.
• Provide flexible, high-quality care, all in the comfort of your own home.

• The Care Pro will also require access to a bathroom and kitchen.
• They will also need access to WiFi and a television in their room.

Is live-in care suitable if I need specialist care?

Without a doubt. We have live-in Care Pros with a variety of specialities and experiences, including dementia, palliative care, and end-of-life care. We’ll match you with a Care Pro who is an excellent match for you and your care requirements. Our services are known for their excellent quality of care, so you can rest assured that we have you covered no matter your ailment.

Being with your loved ones should be quality time. That’s why it’s okay to accept that families often need help to carry some of the responsibility of ensuring your loved one stays safe and well. In fact, introducing care early in the ageing process can prevent the speed of health deterioration.

It’s an ideal scenario: your loved one can stay in the home, where they would prefer to be and where memories are cherished, while family are reassured that someone is always there to help.
