What is Live-In Care?

Live-in care means a fully trained carer moves into your home to provide support whenever it’s needed, day or night.

They’re there to help with personal care, mobility, medication, meals, companionship and keeping your home running smoothly. Whether you need full-time care or just peace of mind knowing someone is always nearby, live-in care offers a comforting alternative to residential care.

It’s tailored, one-on-one support, all in the comfort of your own home.

Who is Live-In Care For?

Live-in care is ideal for anyone who needs ongoing support but wants to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.

Our live-in care services in Reading are especially helpful for:

People who lives alone and feels isolated or unsafe without someone nearby
Needs support throughout the day and night, not just at set times
Recovering from surgery, illness, or hospital discharge
Wants an alternative to moving into a residential care home
Lives with a condition such as dementia, Parkinson’s, or MS

Things you need to consider

Space for the Carer

Your carer will require space and privacy in your home too so they will need their own bedroom with space for clothes storage.

Breaks for Carers

The live-in carer would require a 2 hour break every day and we can discuss the various options on how this can be managed.

Wifi Access

Your carer will be spending time away from their own friends and family, so having Wi-Fi is really helpful for them to stay connected. If you haven’t already, it might be a good idea to think about setting up a broadband connection.

Shopping

Arrangements can be made between the live-in carer and yourself/family

Comfort

Your carer will be living in your home - you have to be comfortable to allow your carer to be free to move around your home and share your space.

Other Costs

The live-in carer is like a family member and will be sharing meal times with you, using the bathroom, using the internet, etc. and so you will need to consider the extra costs for food shopping and utilities.

Live-In Care Frequently Asked Questions

1Will my live in carer be trained to meet my specific needs by Acacia Homecare?
We take the responsibility for your carer’s ongoing supervisions and management, as well as investing in training and professional development. We thoroughly vet each person and match your requirements to what the carer can offer.
2How many breaks will my live in carer require?
There will be times when your carer will also need to take time off so they can spend their time with their own family and friends so we will also ensure that your care continues in that time. When the live in carer needs to take a break, we will introduce you to another fully trained carer, who will arrive at your home for a comprehensive, overnight handover. It is our duty to ensure the transition from one carer to another goes as smoothly as possible causing little or no disruption to you and your family.
3How will my shopping be managed with the live in carer?
Shopping can be done in many several different ways: Live in carer can do small daily shopping and a family member can do the weekly shop. Shopping can be ordered and delivered to the home. Live in carer can manage the weekly budget and do the entire shopping (within reason)
4What are other costs should I consider?
The total cost of the live-in care is made up of a direct and indirect cost. Direct cost is the weekly fee for the service, whereas the indirect cost is related to having your carer living in your house, thus the additional cost for food & utilities. The live in carer will be sharing meal times with you, using the bathroom, using the internet connect, etc and so becoming a member of your weekly shopping budget.
5How do I get started?
Simple. Just get in touch to book your free, no-obligation care assessment. From there, we’ll work with you to create a care plan that suits your needs and lifestyle.
