What is Short-Term Live-In Care?

Offering peace of mind to clients and their families, live-in care is now the preferred choice for many people. A short-term live-in carer can help support you or your loved one for a period of four days or more. Short-term care can offer those with a medical condition or recovering from an illness the opportunity to stay at home in familiar surroundings or provide respite for a private carer or family member. This can be a great reassurance to clients and their families and improves the overall health and wellbeing of the individual needing care. We can help support your regular care arrangements.

Short-term care can include:

• Convalescent care – care following an operation or during a period of recuperation
• Crisis or emergency care – care at short notice following a medical emergency
• Intermittent chronic care – enabling those experiencing a chronic condition to receive support with their daily care
• Planned respite care – relatives and private carers can confidently enjoy time away knowing that you or your loved one is well cared for. This can be one-off or regular respite care

Short-Term Care at Home Benefits

• You can be cared for at home in familiar surroundings. Our experience shows that being cared for at home improves recovery rates and overall levels of health and well-being. Whether it’s your photos, pets or garden, everyone is happier at home and it’s usually the best place to be cared for
• Respite for a private carer or family member can offer a break from the responsibilities of full-time care. We can help support your regular care arrangements, by providing respite to all involved
• Enjoy professional support at home when recovering from an illness or surgery. Live-in Carers can offer recovery and rehabilitation care and the professional support that is often needed post-surgery or when recovering from a medical condition
