Keeping couples together, with live in care<\/h2>\n \n

It\u2019s only natural that couples want to stay together when the need for care arises.<\/p>\n \n \n

Having shared most of their lives together, it\u2019s only normal that couples want to continue living together when they need some extra support. With live-in care, you can have the care you need at home, with your life-long partner by your side.<\/p>\n

For couples requiring extra support \u2013 or for one person within a couple who needs assistance \u2013 having a live-in carer<\/a> means you have someone who\u2019s completely dedicated to your needs. Whether you need help with personal care, medical assistance or help around the home, with live-in care you can both stay at home in the place you love, with limited disruption to your lifestyle or routines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

What can a live in carer help with?<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Whether you require practical, physical or emotional support, our live-in carers are all expertly trained to provide a wide range of care services to couples with varying needs. Perhaps one of you would benefit from mobility support while the other could do with discreet assistance with personal care routines \u2013 or maybe you both need someone to proactively help out around the home and provide a bit of extra companionship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

All of our carers receive expert training in providing safe and secure mobility support, including helping you both get into and out of bed and move around your home and garden<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n <\/use><\/svg>\n Medication assistance<\/span>\n <\/h5>\n \n
\n
\n

Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of what medication you need to take, and when to take it. A carer can help administer medication, as well as collecting prescriptions from the pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

A carer can prepare the meals, snacks and drinks that you both enjoy, and at the times that suit you. They can even help you to follow a certain diet if needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your live-in carer will be able to help you both to stay on top of the chores and routines you\u2019re struggling with \u2013 including vacuuming, laundry, tidying, wiping surfaces, and so much more<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n <\/use><\/svg>\n Running errands<\/span>\n <\/h5>\n \n

A live-in carer can be the ideal solution when one or both of you need a higher level of care.<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Our fully trained live-in carers can support couples in their own homes with personal care and medical assistance, as well as help around the home.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, for those circumstances when only one person in the couple is in need of extra support, having a live-in carer takes the burden off the other person. With a live-in carer to manage personal care and other matters, couples can re-focus their energies on spending quality time together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
