A Live-in carer will offer highly personalised care and work closely with the individual to tailor care plan to their specific needs, preferences and routines. Care homes provide care to a group of residents with varying needs, whilst care plans are individualised to some extent, there may be limitations on personalisation due to communal setting.
Our Live-In Care Professionals at Home Instead can cook meals specifically upon request which means they can have a meal that they fancy every single day. Care Homes often offer a limited choice.
Live-in carers prioritise in promoting the individuals independence. They assist with tasks as needed but encourage the person to maintain as much autonomy as possible. Residents in a care home have access to communal areas and activities, but they may have less independence over their daily routines compared to living at home.
Live-in carers provide one-on-one companionship and emotional support. They engage in conversations, accompany the person to social activities, and build a closer, and more personal relationship.
Live-in carers allow individuals to remain living in their own home, in and around the things that they love, surrounded by familiar possessions, neighbours and routines. They are still able to have visitors on their terms. Moving to a care home means leaving one’s home environment behind, which can be emotionally challenging for some individuals. They may also be bound to certain times that they allow visitors.
