As people age or face health challenges, staying at home with personalised care becomes more appealing than moving into a residential facility. But who needs live-in care, and when should families consider it? In this blog, we explore the answer from both a general and professional care perspective.
🌿 General Overview:
Who Needs Live-in Care?
Live-in care is ideal for individuals who require ongoing, day-and-night support but wish to remain in the comfort of their own home. This type of care offers one-on-one assistance tailored to a person’s physical, emotional, and social needs.
So, who needs live-in care?
Here are some common situations:
- Older adults living alone who need help with daily routines
- People with dementia or memory loss, needing supervision and structure
- Individuals recovering from surgery or hospital discharge
- Seniors with mobility issues or fall risks
- Couples with mixed care needs who want to stay together
- Those experiencing loneliness, anxiety, or isolation
In short, anyone who values independence but needs full-time support could benefit from live-in care.
