Home Care Oldham provides live-in care, also known as 24/7 care to individuals who need constant care but feel at home and familiar with it. A residential care placement can be a scary or even unnecessary thing to the majority of people, especially when home is the symbol of independence, routine and personal security. A more comfortable method is live-in care whereby one has normal support and participation in addition to the possibility of staying in an environment that one is very familiar with.
Under live-in care, a professional caregiver joins the family and becomes a member of the family, a person whom the family can trust and rely on. This continuum allows the care-giver to have the full picture of routine, preferences and care needs of the individual. In the long term, the relationship would be beneficial to build trust, reduce anxiety, and create a calm predictable environment. The provision of support is also personal rather than repetitive or impersonal, which is one of the key functions of one primary caregiver.
Home Care Oldham is a facility that performs a comprehensive assessment prior to the initiation of live-in care in order to be aware of health conditions, mobility, medication routines, daily activities, and emotional state of the person. Some people like routines and some like flexibility throughout the day. The care plans are prepared in a way that they take into consideration all these preferences and are also reviewed periodically in order to make sure that the support is in tune with the changing needs.
Live in caregivers will assist in many daily tasks. This involves self-care such as washing, dressing, grooming, toileting and mobility aids. The caregivers also help in the preparation of meals, hydration, memory of medications, housework, laundry and a clean and safe environment. The caregivers help to reduce stress and allow individuals to focus on comfort and living through such obligations.
One of the most important issues of live-in care is support in the night. The majority of the people become more confused, agitated or physically unstable at night. Having a caregiver minimizes the possibility of falling or being in distress because they have the person they can turn to and receive immediate assistance. Live-in care will be on hand whether it is help with safe transportation, someone to converse with during times of anxiety, or an eye on them due to medical conditions.
Live-in care is particularly beneficial to individuals with dementia or a permanent illness. Routines and a sense of stability will help to reduce the degree of confusion and improve emotional stability. A caregiver can respond to the wellbeing needs in a relaxed and appropriate way during the day and night with an awareness of communication signals and the comfort requirement.
The live-in care provides families with peace of mind. Being assured that a loved one is being taken care of 24/7 will imply that family members will be in a position to relax and not worry all the time, yet still a part of the decision-making process in terms of care and quality time together.
Our live in care service at Home Care Oldham is based on trust, compassion and reliability. We help individuals live dignified, comfortable and confident lives in their homes by providing personalised assistance in their comfortable environment.
