Live-in care in Camberley and Woking

Are you becoming concerned that your parents or loved ones might not be coping as well as they used to at home?  Often the first thought might be “Oh no, I really don’t want mum or dad to go into a care home…”  There is an alternative. Have you considered Live-in care?  A Live-in Carer can support a family member to continue to live in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home with little or no changes to their daily routines.   

So what is Live-in Care?

Live-in care means one of our highly trained professional Live-in Carers live with their Client, in their home, day and night ready to support with all activities in the household, including providing that incredibly important companionship and social interaction.  Sometimes families live far away from their loved ones, and just knowing that there is a caring, trustworthy person living with their loved ones provides reassurance and relief from worry. One of our Live-in Clients’ family member told us:

     “ ..having a Live-in Carer there with mum means I don’t have to worry about her, and they always let me know if there is anything mum needs.”

Why choose Live-in Care instead of a Care Home?

• The emotional upheaval of leaving the family home can be not only distressing, but is also expensive and time consuming.
• Mum and dad can continue living together in the family home, even though they may have different care needs
• Pets can also remain in the family home, with the support of the Live-in Carer.
• One to one care and companionship at home with the same Carer rather than unknown different Carers in a Care Home.
• Live-in Carers can support mum and dad to continue with the local activities they currently enjoy, such as day centres. In the Camberley area, we have local activities for our elderly Clients such as The Alzheimers Café, or Miriam Grace Day Centre.

What do our Clients’ say about Live-in Care:

One of our Camberley Clients told us that she was becoming increasingly anxious about leaving the house, particularly during the Covid pandemic.  We were able to provide a Live-in Carer for a period of six months, helping to restore the Client’s confidence until she felt empowered to live alone again.   

Who are our Live-in Carers?

• We recruit only the best Carers, who are then highly trained in moving and handling, and managing medical conditions such as dementia and incontinence.
• All of our Carers wear the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) where necessary and are trained in infection prevention and control.
• Our Carers go through a rigorous recruitment process, including references, Data Barring Services security checks, and necessary Right to Work status.
• Our Carers are a trusted, familiar face which families can rely on to provide the very best support for their loved one, knowing they are in safe hands.

If you feel that Live-In Care might be for you, or a family member, we can arrange to visit you at home and carry out a free full assessment.  Following this, we will match one of our Live-in Carers, who we think will get on really well with their Client.  Regular reviews and spot checks then take place to ensure everyone is happy with the service.  Call our friendly team in Camberley now on 01276 300250 to find out more.
