There are many reasons why people choose a live-in carer or support worker. Here are the main ones:

• Staying in your own home in the environment you love the most
• Avoiding change – daily life can stay much the same with that extra support.
• Flexible care built around you – your carer helps as much or little as you like.
• Keeping the same routines, hobbies, and interests.
• Companionship, whether it’s sharing meals, watching TV, or enjoying days out.
• Family and friends can still come and go as normal.
• Emotional support –  many carers become more like friends to our customers.

Your live-in carer will also handle:

• Cooking meals – preparing nutritious meals according to your tastes.
• Running errands – whether it’s food shopping or fetching your prescription.
• Housekeeping – keeping your home clean and tidy.
• Overnight care – call up to twice each night.
• Pets – feeding, walking and caring for your pets if you have any.
