Choosing the Right Care:
Home Instead Poole Answers Your Live-In Care Questions
At Home Instead Poole, we understand that choosing the right care can feel an overwhelming task. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand our live-in care service and why it might be the best choice for your loved ones.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care is an arrangement where a trained Care Professional lives with an older adult in their own home, offering continuous support and companionship. This option allows those we look after to stay in their familiar environment while receiving the tailored care they need.
What are the Benefits of Live-In Care?
Our clients choose live-in care for the comfort and independence it offers. Live-in care enables older adults to maintain their routines in the home they love, surrounded by cherished memories. Compared to a residential care setting, live-in care provides a more personalised 1-1 approach, with care tailored to the preferences and pace of the individual. Additionally, it fosters a trusted relationship between the client and their Care Professional.
What Do Care Professionals Need in Terms of Accomodation?
When families enquire about our live-in services, they often ask about the requirements for the Care Professional. A Live-In Care Professional simply requires their own bedroom and access to facilities.
How Does Home Instead Poole Personalise Live-In Care?
From meal preparation, home help and personal care to outings and companionship, and ensuring all needs are met securely, our Care Professionals complete daily tasks in the way our clients prefer. Clients and their families can meet with our Live-In Team before starting services to share care requirements, interests, and lifestyle habits. Full introductions are completed, ensuring a seamless transition and continuous support.
How Often Are Support Visits Conducted?
Clients and their Live-In Care Professionals receive weekly support visits and daily check-ins from our local home care team, ensuring top-quality care and satisfaction. With regular touch points throughout the client’s journey, we adapt our services as their needs evolve. The local Home Instead team is always ready to provide backup when needed.
