What to Know Before Beginning Live in Care in Bristol

How Live in Care in Bristol Differs to Visiting Care

Live-in care differs from visiting care as it provides you with a carer who will come to live with you in your home and provide 24/7 care and companionship. Unlike visiting care, where your carers will visit you at pre-determined times, live-in care gives you the reassurance of having a friendly, expertly-trained carer living alongside you to proactively ensure you’ve got everything you need and your home is kept just the way you like it. At Helping Hands, we’ll match you with a live-in carer who shares your personality, interests and hobbies, so that you’ve not only got someone there to support you but also a trusted and valued friend to enjoy spending time with.

Who Can Benefit from Bristol Live in Care?

Live-in care can be a great support option for people who are at a stage of life where they would benefit from round-the-clock support and companionship. It might be that you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a progressive or complex condition and are no longer as physically or mentally confident as you used to be, or perhaps you’re simply experiencing age-related frailty and aren’t particularly steady on your feet. There are all manner of reasons why live-in care can be beneficial and help you to continue live independently, safely and comfortably.

Key Considerations Before Beginning Care

Care Requirements

Before starting live-in care in Bristol, your local care manager will sit down with you and any loved ones you wish to be present to discuss your needs and wishes. It’s worth considering just what you’re seeking from a carer in order to continue living life the way you want to. Our live-in carers are able to help out around the home with just about anything.

Costs

The cost of live-in care isn’t cheap, but it also doesn’t need to be prohibitive. For couples, it can actually work out as great value for money.

Carer Qualities

At Helping Hands, every single one of our live-in carers has been recruited for their kind and empathetic personality, and has undergone rigorous background checks to ensure they’re the sort of person you’d be delighted to live with. We’ll always do our best to match you with a carer who complements you, so please let us know what interests you, what your personality type is, and what you’re looking for in a carer.
