Reliable Live-In Care in Edinburgh, Kent and London
For many people, live-in care has become a popular alternative to residential care homes. Live-in care offers one-to-one support in your own personal and private environment. It enables you to stay in your local community, close to family or friends who may live nearby, and enjoy your favourite places to meet, go walking, or visit. Additionally, our Assistant offers a friendly, supportive and encouraging presence. No matter the task, we’re here to help.
Having a Live-In Care Assistant provides your family with peace of mind, knowing that someone is always there to help in the home. Our office team is also on-hand in case of emergencies, backed up by our extended network of Live-In Care Assistants.
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.
Why Choose Live-in Care?
When full-time care is needed, you might think that a residential care home is the only option. However, live-in care offers a wonderful alternative, providing 24/7 support while allowing you to stay in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by the things you love, including your beloved pets.
With a Live-In Care Assistant, you enjoy the flexibility that visiting care cannot offer. For example, on a sunny day, you can decide to go out spontaneously without being tied to a fixed schedule. This freedom allows you to live life on your own terms, enjoying each day to the fullest.
