Live in 24 Hours
Our Live-in 24 hours is a bespoke, affordable care solution which enables you, or your loved one, to remain in the familiar surroundings of your own home. Our Live-in carers can help with personal care such as getting dressed, bathing and medication and also provide help with domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning and shopping. Live-in care promotes independence and allows individuals to be control of their lifestyle.
This service can be provided on a short or long term basis.
Sometimes clients require more intensive assistance than the care visits we offer. Due to high dependency or complex care needs, for instance, you may need a carer to help you on a 24-hour basis, or to sleep over. We can supply you with an experienced and reliable professional who will ensure your safety and independence are promoted at all times
Alternatively, perhaps your regular carer or family member needs a break or has an upcoming holiday and you require a carer to cover for them.
Right before care commences DCSS manager will make a home visit to determine individual requirements. At the same time we perform a simple assessment of the home environment to identify any areas of undue risk. From this we develop a Care Plan which can cover live-in care or a mix of hourly and night care as
needed.
If the service user does not want to go into a nursing or respite home, we can provide a carer to live-in with the client while the family carer takes a well earned break.
