Who is live-in care for?

It is not mandatory that a person looking for care has always to look for a
residential care to a Nursing Home or to a Care Home. There are multiple
benefits to choosing a home care.
In a Home Care based care, the service user continues to live in the
comfort of his/her own home. The service user is surrounded with familiar

faces and with own people around as usual. In home care, the service user
is not deprived of his or her day to day routines, life style, family and home
environment. It is complimented with a one to one care.
When a client moves to a care home or nursing home it is a disruption of
routines and the impact is great in client’s personal life.
In a home based care you can always be assured that you speak to
someone whom you are known or whom you will deal with very often.
Most probably it will be the registered Manager or his assistant or your
own carer who visits you in a day to day basis who understand your care
needs.
