How quickly can live in care start in Taunton?

How is live in care different from using a Taunton micro-provider?

A Taunton micro-provider may offer flexible local support, often as a smaller independent care service.

The best option depends on the person’s needs, risk level and how much responsibility the family wants to manage.

Can live in care provide companionship as well as personal care?

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.

It’s not just the everyday care that makes such a difference to Mum’s life; it’s the little things that are always thought of. Mum has been out of her home more in the last 6 months than she has in the last 6 years. Seeing photos of her smiling face, full of laughter, tells us how much she has enjoyed the company, activities, and outings. We definitely picked the right live in care provider.

We tried other companies first but there were so many changes, and it all became too much for Mum, not knowing who would be there to help her. Since we chose Live in Care, she’s been so much happier.

I feel so reassured that I can go away knowing Mum is in the safe hands of the same carer when I take a holiday or attend a family special occasion. Thank you again – you run an amazing service.

The impact that Anna has made on the health and wellbeing for Mum and Dad has been staggering. Dad, who never gives praise easily, has described her as marvellous.
