WHAT IS LIVE-IN CARE?
Your own carer living you in your home, focused on caring only for you or your loved one.
WHY MAY I NEED LIVE-IN CARE?
Are you finding the housework a little more challenging?
Can you be as bothered as you used to be, to get changed or have a shower?
What about changing your clothes? Does the thought make you feel exhausted or tired?
Are your family and friends commenting that you are losing weight? Maybe you have a change in sleeping pattern? Feel more at risk of falling? A little unsteady? Sometimes people just don’t feel as confident in their own homes, as they used to be.
As we all get older, we lose things? I know
I always misplace my car keys. However sometimes you may notice that you have forgotten to lock the front door at night? Routines you were in and could always remember you may feel that you aren’t as sure as you were.
Are you finding it harder to get dressed? Would you like someone to help you do your personal care as it’s become more exhausting.
