What to Know Before Beginning Live in Care in Birmingham

How Live in Care in Birmingham Differs to Visiting Care

Live-in care differs from visiting care in several ways. Live-in care involves one of our compassionate carers moving into your home to provide all the care you need throughout the day and be available at night in case of an emergency. If you require waking night care, you will likely have two carers at a time. Visiting care is a series of intermittent visits that provide the support you need on a live-out basis.

All of our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and will provide you with the highest quality of care and support.

Who Can Benefit from Birmingham Live in Care?

Everyone can benefit from Birmingham live-in care! If you are in need of around-the-clock support, then you should consider remaining in the home you love before resigning yourself to residential care. Most people would prefer to remain in their beloved home if they can, with the people, pets and possessions around them that mean everything. With live-in care from Helping Hands, we can make this happen.

Key Considerations Before Beginning Care

Choosing live-in care isn’t something that should be done lightly. It’s a big decision to accept someone coming into your home and we understand that totally. That’s why we guide you through the entire process and we’re so particular about the people who become carers with us.

Care Requirements

Your needs will be individual to you and we will design you a plan of care that takes every aspect of your daily routine into account. We’ll also devise a support plan that is detailed but flexible, meaning that if your needs change, your plan will adapt seamlessly.

Costs

Cost is one of the biggest aspects of a care decision, but when you consider that with live-in care you get to remain living in the home you love, with a precious partner and pet, or where all your memories have been made, there’s so much more to it than pounds and pence.

Carer Qualities

Our carers are chosen specifically because of their natural empathy and compassion, as well as their aptitude for learning new skills. Caring from the heart is more important to us than experience, as we can build on their knowledge once they’re working for us.
