Benefits of Live-in Care

Live-in care provides a way for you or your loved one to feel a sense of companionship, emotional support, and access to specialised care whilst staying in the comfort of their home and the local community.

Round-the-clock, high-quality care

Our vetted carers are highly trained and have a wealth of experience with various clients, including those with specialist medical conditions. 24 hour live-in care means you can have the peace of mind that you or your loved one has someone on hand to help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A cost-effective care solution

Live-in care can be more cost-effective than a nursing home, and one major benefit is having your carer to yourself. This means our carers have ample time to focus on even the tiny details you may need attending to that can make a significant positive impact in the long run. There are also many different ways to pay for your care, and you may even be eligible for government funding.

Familiarity and companionship

Live-in care means that you or your loved one can have the same high-quality home care that they would receive in a nursing home, but all within the comfort of your own home. You can stay within your familiar surroundings, local community, pets and cherished memories.

At Abicare, we encourage our clients to continue their daily tasks and activities that they love to do whenever they feel like it. We also strive to match you with a carer best suited to your needs and who shares similar interests with you.

We feel that having a familiar face around the house daily helps clients feel more comfortable and reassured, especially those suffering from neurological conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s.

A practical care solution

Having a 24 hour live-in carer means you can continue to live in the comfort of your own home, removing the added stress of potentially selling your house or dealing with inheritance paperwork. It also means you can continue living with your loved ones, where friends and family can visit you anytime you like, as opposed to strict visiting hours. Finally, our carers help around the house with daily chores, taking pressure off yourself and allowing you to make time for the things that matter most.

Live-in care means you can continue enjoying everything you love in life, for example, your garden, your pets, and activities such as cooking. You can eat the meals you love when you want and lead an independent life despite needing a little extra help.
