Live In Care has been brilliant. My mother had a fall and could no longer manage on her own. From the first assessment appointment, all the members of staff have been both super friendly and professional, they are always responsive, and their work is focused clearly on ensuring that Mum is happy. The carers have been extremely conscientious, and Mum now has a longer-term carer whom she feels thoroughly spoilt by. I still can’t quite believe that Mum is being taken care of so well. It has been a huge relief, and I am so glad and grateful that I found Live In Care.
Live in Care – thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve changed my parents lives; Mum is less stressed knowing Dad is cared for and they can carry on living at home together.
When we chose Live in Care for Dad it was because the Care Manager made all the difference professionally from other companies we’d considered, she gave amazing guidance and advice not only around care but quality of life, social interaction and possible funding.
Mum’s carers have become part of the family, they’ve gotten to know Mum and her needs so well and are exactly what the family were hoping for and more.
I’m a nurse and I couldn’t have provided the care, comfort and support my father needed in his last days of his life without the live-in carer. She was so professional, skilled, and kind and this helped to ensure that Dad was comfortable and peaceful in his last few days. Nothing was too much trouble.
