Live In Respite Care
Do you need a break? Take one with the reassurance and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is cared for and enjoying life.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is short-term care used as an alternative to a person’s usual arrangements or when the unexpected happens.
There are several reasons you might be considering needing some respite care.
- Going away and worried about your loved one in your absence? We’re here to step in and help.
- Are you primarily responsible for caring for your loved one and need a break? Take one with reassurance and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is cared for and enjoying life too.
- Need short term care when things change unexpectedly or you’re recovering from an operation or injury, we’re here for as long as you need us until you regain your independence.
Sometimes if a family member is providing the care and support needed, they may need a break to recharge their batteries. Caring for a loved one is a huge responsibility and the dedication of being a primary carer can take its toll at times and tiredness can creep in. They may find themselves unwell or have to undergo a planned operation. This can all be a little overwhelming at times and there is an uncertainty of what the best thing to do is.
Live in Care are here to help and be the safety net you can call upon.
You can step back and trust our short-term live-in care service.
Respite care can be planned in advance when you need temporary relief, or we are here to help in an emergency.
The respite care we provide is cost-effective, enables independence, and is organised on the person’s terms with the one-on-one support they need to remain independent at home.
Live in Care will be there for any future respite care needs
After providing respite care once, Live in Care will be there for any future needs, with a full care plan already in place that only has to be reviewed to include any changes. Many family carers see this positively and have commented that knowing we are always there in the background, ready to step in, alleviates so much worry and eases the responsibility.
Knowing that Dad has two regular carers, that know his needs, preferences and little idiosyncrasies has given the family total peace of mind. This is what sets Live in Care above the rest of the companies we considered.
Dad was quite tearful today when Corina left, she has been a wonderful carer and such lovely company for him. Dad said she felt more like family rather than a stranger within a few hours of meeting her. A real sweetheart
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.
Moving to live-in care at home was such a big decision for the family and we wanted to make sure we got it right for Mum and Dad. From the first instance when we made the call to Live in Care it felt right, their understanding and empathy was evident, and they gave great advice too. We’re so pleased we made the right decision, and our parents are the happiest they’ve ever been, safe at home with wonderful care.
This is a professionally run live in care company that provides great support and reassurance every step of the way. Fabulous
