Live-in Caregiver

Live-in Caregivers

Did you know that “Nursing Home Placement” does NOT have to be the first option when your loved one can no longer care for themselves at home? The FIRST option can be “Live-In Homecare”. In fact, your loved one NEVER has to leave their home. HireLivin Homecare understands that when a client’s wish is to remain in their home for the rest of their life, they should know that it’s possible.

HireLivin Homecare provides Live-In Caregivers who provide one-on-one care and supervision around the clock in a clients home. Caregivers support clients ADL’s (“Activities of Daily Living” such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, etc.) and IADL’s (“Instrumental Activities of Daily Living” such as grocery shopping, transportation to Dr’s appointments, light housekeeping, etc.).

Research has shown that when a Client is able to stay in their own home with one-on-one care and personal attention, they have a better chance to improve both physically and mentally! Maybe your loved one has memory issues such as the start of Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia, or maybe they have physical needs as a result of Congestive Heart Failure or Stroke. Whatever the need is, a Live-In Caregiver is trained to care for the Client and allow them to have great quality of life – at home!

“This sounds great but how does my loved one pay for these services?” HireLivin Homecare provides information for multiple payment sources which include Long Term Care Insurances, Reverse Mortgages, Life Insurances and private resources.

If you like what you have read about HireLivin Homecare Live-In Services and would like to learn more, a free home visit will be provided by one of our Care Managers. They will assist in assessing the clients needs and making it possible to stay long term in the clients home.

Frequently Asked Questions

The different types of care homes are residential homes, nursing homes, and specialist care homes, such as dementia care homes. Other types of residential care include assisted living and retirement villages. 

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care. 

If you or a loved one have moved into a care home but feel that you struggle to settle in, it is not the right fit or the location stops family from visiting regularly, you can change care homes. Make sure that you have read the terms of your contract to avoid any issues.

Depending on your financial circumstances and your care needs, you may be able to receive help with paying your care costs. If you have capital below a certain amount, which varies between countries in the UK, your local authority will contribute towards your fees. The NHS may cover your nursing care fees in some circumstances and there are a few benefits you can claim while living in a care home.
