Getting older shouldn’t mean giving up the things that make you who you are. Live-in care can help you keep the life you know, all while getting the care you need..

Live-in care gives people the choice to be cared for in their own homes. We’ll help you find an experienced and trusted carer who’ll move in, get to know you and how you like things, and provide truly personalised care.

Absolutely. Live-in carers offer assistance with a huge range of day-to-day requirements – including hygiene and grooming. Putting your loved one at ease during this sort of care is tricky, but live-in carers are uniquely positioned to do just that. They can devote the time and attention required to build trust, as well as get to know just how much help they need to offer..

Of course. Live-in carers move into your loved one’s home. They offer 24-hour care, even if that means getting up occasionally in the middle of the night. They’ll help create routines around bedtime, ensuring better quality sleep for improved wellbeing. They might also get your loved one to the toilet if they need it, or put their mind at ease if they’re confused. If you begin to need more regular or intensive night-time support, consider a dedicated night carer. This ensures your daytime live-in carer gets enough rest.

When someone new moves into the home, it can take a bit of time to settle in. It takes time to build a routine that you’re all comfortable with. With Elder, your needs will always shape your care schedule so that it’s personal to you. Usually, your carer will stay with you for around four weeks (although this is flexible depending on your needs), before taking their first week off to rest and recharge. We’ll work with you to help you secure a temporary carer you’re happy with, who can move in and provide respite care while your main carer is away. They’ll arrive between 12-2pm on their first day for a handover with your main carer.
