Live in care is often a natural progression from visiting care, where your needs become more complex or require a greater level of support. The service can also be incredibly valuable when a person finds themselves unable to live entirely independently yet wishes to avoid a move to a care home – with live in care a preference for 97% of individuals.
Our dedicated, compassionate Spelthorne live in care teams, also covering Runnymede and Elmbridge, offer a flexible and bespoke service, allocating friendly carers to each person or family to ensure they feel safe and loved and need not consider a relocation away from the people and surroundings they value.
It is essential that every live in care client in Spelthorne, Elmbridge or Runnymede feels comfortable with a carer they can trust, and we match carers to individuals or families carefully, ensuring you have similar interests or hobbies and can enjoy a positive rapport.
Having a live in carer does not necessitate any changes to your routines, habits, or the way you live, and your assigned CareAngel will provide ongoing assistance, peace of mind that you always have somebody nearby to call for help, and ensure you remain happy, independent and cared for in your own home.
Every live in care structure is different and customised to the wishes and preferences of the person. We create detailed care plans, encouraging all family members to contribute and ensure we have an excellent idea of exactly where we can help and where you would like to implement boundaries.
Care planning evolves along with your needs, and you can specify any areas you like, such as:
No requirement is too big or too small, and we endeavour to protect the privacy and autonomy of live in care recipients whilst ensuring they have the companionship, practical help and domiciliary care they need.
Mealtimes and medications are often key aspects of care planning, where your live in carer can prepare all your meals if you wish, assist with grocery shopping, prep and remind you when to take medications, and ensure you always have a fresh, nutritious meal or a warm cup of tea waiting for you when you wake up in the morning.
Remaining sociable and part of groups, clubs and activities you participate in is important. Our live in care team will support you to ensure you can continue to attend and retain a sense of community and friendship.
Your live in CareAngel can help in whichever areas will add value and will take the time to get to know where they can help. Whether that is organising fresh bedding in the evening, running a hot bath or stocking up on your favourite snacks for a weekly movie night, they will be happy to assist.
The Spelthorne Guardian Angel Carers team delivers a broad range of live in care services, offering help with mobility, medications, domestic chores, and companionship and assistance with routines, activities and hobbies.
We recognise that live in care may look very different to two families, and organise care as needed. Options include live-in care for clients recuperating post-hospital stay, short-term care while family caregivers are away, or respite support.
Longer-term live in care is well suited to local residents who may have otherwise needed to consider a residential care facility.
We can offer couples care as well, to ensure partners can remain together and sensitive palliative care to spend time in the comfort of your home rather than relocating to a hospice.
Either call or email or use the simple form below, and one of our friendly care team will either chat to you or respond to your enquiry.
