How Live-In Care Works
Live-in Care means that you have a dedicated live-in assistant with you, living in your home. You will need to be able to provide the assistant with their own private room that has a bed.
Your live-in care assistant will be there to support you day and night, keeping you company and helping you spend each day the way you want to.
There will usually be two assistants to support you; your main Live-in assistant and second person who will cover the main assistant when they are taking their time off.
Your main assistant will be with you from 2 to 6 weeks, then will take some time off. This is when the second assistant will cover.
The MyLife team is always on hand to both you and your live-in assistant to offer support and guidance if needed.
Your live-in assistant will be as closely matched to your interests and personal preferences as possible, which will have been identified with you when your first enquiry about the MyLife live-in service.
Why Choose Live-in Care
Often when care is needed full time, you may think a residential care home is the only option. Live-in care means support can be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the added bonus of being surrounded by all the things you love and even keeping a much loved per for example.
Using a Live-in assistant also means that you are not restricted to the times arranged by visiting care. For example on a sunny day you may decide spontaneously to go out – with a Live-in care service you are not restricted to the times you have arranged for an assistant to attend, giving you much more freedom.
