Live In Care for the Elderly
Maintaining independence and security
As we all age, life can become more challenging. Daily tasks take longer, and sometimes we stop doing the things we enjoy because they have simply become too hard to continue. If too many of the daily tasks become too hard, it is usually time to start considering your care options.
Choosing to remain at home is often a preference for people as they get older, as it allows you to stay in your own environment rather than deal with the disruption and stress of moving into residential care. A live in carer can make it possible to stay in the comfort of your own home as you age.
Live in Care for Ageing
Live in homecare allows you to live independently while still having access to care and support.
Featherbed Live In Carers offer support, companionship and friendship – so staying at home is not only possible, it’s enjoyable. Our home care services include:
- Shopping and errands
- Cooking and meal preparation
- Social activities, trips and visits
- Family pets
- Household tasks such as light housework and laundry [please note, our carers are not cleaners, so we often recommend hiring a dedicated cleaner for more than light household tasks]
Personal Care
One of the areas that can be more difficult as we get older is maintaining personal care. However it is important to maintain a care routine, for both health and emotional reasons. Our live in carers can assist with personal care, including:
- Medication
- Diet management
- Bathing, shaving, oral care and toileting
- Dressing
- Mobility, including moving and transfers
Live in care for elderly people is all about letting you stay in the comfort of your familiar surroundings while continuing to live a fulfilling and healthy life. Our carers are specialists in elderly care in the home, and will help you live your life your way.
People say the nicest things...
We pride ourselves on the fact that the majority of our clients come to Featherbed through the recommendation of other clients or their families.
