Benefit 1: Continue to enjoy the home comforts

A home is full of memories, and leaving one’s home, at any stage in life, can cause significant distress. Live-in care ensures that loved ones are able to continue enjoying their valuable personal memorabilia, and even their pets. Maintaining a sense of ownership can be just as important as privacy and established daily routines, can accommodated with the correct preferences and more.

​

Benefit 2: Maintain independence

Feeling heard and feeling respected is important to everyone. Live-in care makes certain that loved ones are able to state preferences at any time of day with an expectation that their voices will be heard. Essential concerns like the timing of meals, desires around food preparation and menu items, daily routines, even the arrangement of furniture and other household items will continue to be guided by the preferences of loved ones.

​

Benefit 3: Disruption to daily life is minimal

Disruption can be stressful for anyone whose health is compromised for any reason. Live-in care minimises disruption so your loved one’s precious energy can be focused on positive experiences. As well, with live-in care, couples can stay together in a familiar environment of their own creation. At a time of life when continuity and familiarity are of particular importance, live-in care takes care to minimise any kind of emotional or mental upheaval.

​

Benefit 4: Your loved one can enjoy a relationship of trust and friendship with individual carers

Starting a new relationship takes time and effort. When a carer arrives at home, a new relationship is built, based on important values like trust and respect. The continuity of care that is provided means that your loved one will receive consistent and reliable care which makes the experience much more of a relationship than a service. Family input will be valued as they develop their own relationship with the live-in carers, and isolation can be avoided thanks to the constant companionship provided.

Benefit 5: Caring but cost-effective solution

When comparing the various types of constant care that are available, having a live-in carer can often be the most economical choice and especially if specialist care is required. A live-in carer can ensure that health needs are taken care of, medicines are administered and doctor appointments are managed. Care for couples can also be particularly economical if a live-in carer is used.
