Live in care offers complete flexibility of support whilst continuing to live in your own home and remaining independent. We believe that live in care is the best solution for those people who need support as it allows people to have better control around their care. Support is individually tailored in familiar and comfortable surroundings, in a way that is not restrictive compared with residential care.
Unlike the majority of care home providers, Artemis live in care is a service whereby you or a loved one receives personal one to one care 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. One of the major benefits one to one care is that it can offer companionship and care combined. Also, our carers provide the practical support that is required to manage you or a loved one’s home. Such domestic support includes cooking, cleaning, shopping and other domestic tasks, as well as being able to look after any pets
Artemis Home care believes that having the right carer is fundamental in being able to offer the highest quality care. Therefore, before a care package is agreed we undertake a matching process between yourself and your loved one and our carers to make sure that your specific requirements are met and that you feel comfortable. All our carers are experienced, professional and have been vetted and police checked.
Whilst live in care is increasingly being used by people, there are some practical considerations that you would need to consider before choosing this option. Our carers would need to have their own bedroom and some breaks may need to be negotiated, if this is required we would make the necessary arrangement to ensure there is suitable cover in place. Also, our carer’s are entitled to take leave. Leave is discussed at the initial meeting whereby a respite carer would also be matched to your requirements. Our carer’s are provided with their own live in budgets so there would be no additional requirements placed upon you or your loved ones.
Sometimes, carers and family members require respite but do not wish to use the services of a care home for loved ones due the inconvenience and distress it may cause. Artemis Domiciliary Care offer live in care respite services, thus alleviating any pressures of moving loved ones into new environments. Please contact us to find out more about how we can help.
Opting for live in care is a big decision and it is important to us that you are fully informed before taking the next step. Our team of professionals are there to help with any questions you may have.
