Live-in Care

We know how important it is to continue living in the familiar surroundings of your own home, retaining your independence for as long as possible. Getting older and frailer can take its toll and become more challenging. Still, it’s always preferable to remain at home if you can.

A live-in carer provides the support, companionship, and personal care required to continue living at home, even with medical conditions or higher care needs.

How Live-in Care can help.

Live-in care involves having a carer stay with you in your home. This allows you to retain your independence while having constant access to care and support as needed. Depending on your individual needs, a live-in carer can provide various services.

Our Carers offer support, companionship, and friendship. Our care services include:

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

Carers also assist with personal care, including:

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

It is important to emphasise that a carer is not a cleaner, and we recommend that a part-time cleaning person be employed separately where necessary.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 homecare is an agency I could refer to both Client and Carers as it is well recognised for it's good services rendered.  They are there for both parties.  I can go on and on and on. It deserves over 5stars

 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
