What is live-in care?

Choosing MyLife Homecare Edinburgh means choosing a service that puts your needs first.

Live-in care is when a specialist Care Assistant provides dedicated and attentive care to you whilst also living in the your home. Live-in care is an ideal solution for those who wish to remain at home, but may be in need of additional care and assistance in and around the home.

Live-in care involves minimal disruption to your or your loved one’s life, enabling those receiving care to stay in familiar and comfortable surroundings, with a dedicated companion and care provider available to assist throughout the day and night.

What’s included in live-in care at home?

Bespoke live-in care plan

After an initial consultation with our knowledgeable Edinburgh Care Team, we will devise a tailored care plan that is completely bespoke. This helps ensure your loved one will receive the best possible care, day and night, provided by experienced care specialists. 

Assisted living with a community feel

Our care team takes pride in getting to know your loved one, so they can share experiences and memories while assisting with day-to-day live-in support. From delicate matters such as personal care and hygiene, to more social aspects such as shopping, going to the theatre, or meeting for lunch club, MyLife’s team ensures each care package reflects their service user’s bespoke needs.

Dedicated 3 step care process

We know that it can be a difficult transition for those who are considering live-in care, which is why MyLife works with you closely to ensure we find the ideal match for you and your loved one. Our diligent process and friendly team help ensure you make the right choice when it comes to your care package, so your loved one can live comfortably whilst maintaining their dignity. 

Domestic and practical support

MyLife recognises the unique challenges our service users may face while living at home, and our approach to care reflects this. Our specialist carers in Edinburgh and The Lothians not only provide knowledge and support for care needs, but can also assist with domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning and housework.

Additional Support

If you are considering 24/7 care for your loved one, get in touch to organise a consultation with our experts. We can talk you through the process of our live-in care services and ensure we point you in the right direction, no matter how complex and unique your loved one’s needs may be. 

How Live-In Care Works

Live-in care means that you have a dedicated Live-In Care Assistant with you, living in your home. You will need to be able to provide the Care Assistant with their own private room that has a bed.

Your Live-In Care Assistant will be there to support your care needs 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 Care Assistant and a 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 office team is on hand to support both you and your Live-In Care Assistant, offering guidance if and when needed.

Your Live-In Care Assistant will be as closely matched to your interests and personal preferences as possible, which will have been identified with you during your first enquiry about the MyLife live-in service.

Testimonials

We needed a care package quickly and were impressed at the speed at which the details were arranged. The carers were punctual, polite and patient. They assisted my husband to recover his confidence and independence. We required the care for a short time only and were more than satisfied with the provider.

A. M. (Wife of Client / Service User)

I was very impressed with the patience and perseverance shown by the care staff who tried repeatedly to gain the trust of my aunt who has dementia. Despite her hostility the staff kept trying to provide support. Excellent support was also provided by management.

G. F. (Niece of Client / Service User)

I have been using MyLife Homecare for about five months to help with care for my elderly parents, both with dementia and have always been impressed with the friendly care given by the lovely carers and also all the staff in the office who have answered my queries promptly and efficiently. My mother, in particular, can be difficult with her dementia, and the carers proved to be so patient and caring with her. I would recommend MyLife to anyone seeking help with any loved one.

C. M. (Daughter of Client / Service User)

I am very pleased with the service MyLife provides. The staff, including the office staff, are very friendly and cheerful.

H. S. (Wife of Client / Service User)

Excellent communication from management meet and greet. Carer perfect, lovely lady, very caring, knows the needs of the client. Has common sense. Regular communication by letter from providers. Easy to deal with.

M. C. (Client / Service User)

Found My Life purely by searching online. My mother was being discharged from hospital and I needed reliable support for her. The business manager was very helpful and saw her in hospital. All the staff have been great really can't fault them. I'd recommend them 100%.
