If you are finding it difficult to manage on your own at home there is an alternative to moving in with your family or to a care home. By engaging a live-in carer, someone who stays with you in your house to provide you with companionship, personal care and housekeeping, you can keep your independence and social life.

There are many benefits to live-in care. You will enjoy continuity of care as your carer may stay with you for weeks or months at a time. This means that they really get to know you and how you like things done. Their one-to-one support gives you the ability to keep your own daily routine and eat the food you want when you want. As you remain in your familiar surroundings there is no need to let go of your personal possessions. If you are part of a couple then you stay together, with your carer supporting each of you in the way that you want and need. You continue to enjoy your much-loved pets and garden, your visitors are welcomed and your social life and hobbies are facilitated. It is often a huge relief to friends and family to know that you are safe and well looked after.

Of all the care options available, live-in care in your own home is the least disruptive and will offer you the greatest continuity and peace of mind. At Sante Care At Home our live-in care service provides carers who will help you to stay as physically active and socially engaged as possible. A service that gives you the help that you really need, not what others decide you need. For example, you might enjoy cooking but struggle to take the lids off jars or worry that you’ll forget to turn off the hob afterwards. You may want to go to your bridge club but find driving there a little daunting. Our live-in carers can help, enabling you to keep doing the things you want to.

As your needs increase our live-in carers will continue to support you. We are able to help you to remain at home even when you need 24-hour support for a long-term condition, illness or disability. If you are living with dementia, the familiarity of the same carers who truly understand you has far reaching benefits in terms of overall health and well-being.

Our live-in carers are well trained and supervised to ensure that they always meet our high standards. We are committed to providing a person-centred service which is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission. This ensures you receive a compassionate, caring, safe, effective, responsive and well led service. We are inclusive and focus on the individuality of each client where understanding your social and care needs is our priority.
