Live In Care Bournemouth

Visiting care and home care in Bournemouth

Our dedicated carers provide vital support to families across the local community and surrounding areas, including Christchurch, Salisbury, and Corfe Castle, as well as the suburbs of Southbourne, Boscombe, and Westbourne and beyond. We understand the challenges families face, and our team is committed to offering compassionate, personalised care that helps improve the quality of life for both individuals and their loved ones.

Cost-effective independent living Bournemouth at any age

You will never be alone in your own home

Getting older, becoming frail, can be very challenging. But that doesn’t mean you can’t stay in your own home, among familiar surroundings, close to family and friends, perhaps with a much-loved pet.

38+ years experience

Featherbed Homecare is a privately owned Live In Care Agency; the business was established by owner Sally Carpenter in 1986 so we have been providing home care services to self-funded clients in the Bristol area for more than 38 years! We fully understand how important it is for many people to remain in their own home, retaining their independence for as long as possible.

Our wonderful team of skilled, experienced Live In Carers provide the support, companionship, privacy and compassion that people need to enjoy a dignified life at home through old age. They ensure that clients retain control over every day routines and are encouraged and helped to do as much for themselves as possible for as long as they wish.

Featherbed Live In Care compares very favourably with the cost of residential care.

Our live in care services start from £902 per week, while a bed in a residential care facility generally starts at over £1,100 per week.

For two clients requiring care and wishing to remain at home together, to be cared for by their own live in carer, the cost is considerably less than two residential care home fees; please visit Live In Care Costs for information, or contact us with any questions.

How Live In Care can help in Bournemouth

Peace of mind that someone is always there for you. Featherbed Live In Carers offer support, companionship and friendship, helping with:

Shopping and errands
Household tasks such as light housework and laundry
Cooking and meal preparation
Social activities, trips and visits
Family pets

They can also assist with personal care including:

Medication
Diet management
Bathing, shaving, oral care and toileting
Dressing
Mobility, including moving and transfers

It is important to emphasise that a carer is not a cleaner and, where necessary, the agency suggests that a part time cleaning person is employed separately.

Respite Care

We are able to provide short-term or emergency live in respite carers in Bournemouth at any time to help with, for instance:

Giving a relative or carer a break or holiday
Helping someone returning from hospital after an operation or treatment
Emergency cover when a family crisis arises or a regular carer is unavailable
Providing a carer or companion to accompany a person on holiday or a short break

Specialist Care

A specialist carer will provide a service tailored to an individual’s needs, allowing elderly or vulnerable people to continue living an independent life, whilst ensuring their personal and medical needs are met.

Staying in their own home with a live in carer will offer the reassurance and consistency that is so important to those requiring specialist care, helping them to feel secure and supported.

We have wonderful live in carers who are either qualified in mental health or highly trained and experienced in Dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as a team of dedicated and compassionate Palliative carers, many of them with nursing backgrounds.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had no idea that my Mum had only two weeks to live when Featherbed came to the rescue!  They provided us with the most wonderful carer, Lucy, who stayed with Mum for long periods of time and gave amazing support to us as family.  She went way "above and beyond" and became a loved member of the family.  I can thoroughly recommend Featherbed - they are a super team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided live-in care for my mother for about 15 months before she needed to go into a nursing home. The one problem we had was addressed quickly and effectively, and with that one exception, the carers Featherbed provided were superb - very caring and helpful, totally honest and understanding. They all developed a really good bond with my mother, who also valued their care.

We have been absolutely delighted with the kindness, professionalism and care shown towards our dad by his carer, Tendei Sithole, (and indeed by Immaculata and Emma-his relief carers who have also been excellent) Tendei has made it possible for him to enjoy his life again and if we could give her 6 stars we would. She has been simply a godsend.

Wonderful carers who have so much time, compassion, friendship and patience for my Mum. Featherbed is a company who never lets us down, and are always on hand. We'd be lost without you, thanks for all you do. X

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided waking nights care for my 99 year old father during the last few weeks of his life, which were very challenging. His carer, Julia, was fantastic and I can honestly say that we couldn't have coped without her. This wonderful care allowed my father to be able to stay in his own home which had always been his wish. Thank you so much Julia and Featherbed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed have been absolutely amazing. They provided 24 hour care for my mom who is in her 90's for over a year in her own home. The care and efficiency was second to none. They were always there with advice and always there to listen. I think you'd be hard pushed to find an Agency as remarkable as Featherbed. Thanks to all the staff at Featherbed and Carers who 'Cared' for my mom. 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed Homecare allowed my 90yr old  parents to live together in their home for over 2yrs. Splitting them up after 60yrs of happy marriage would have been unthinkable.  Despite initial reservations my parents quickly accepted live in care and much enjoyed having company in the house. Much credit is due to the carers who were all lovely and very caring . I have no hesitation in recommending Featherbed
