Live-in Care

Live-in Care at Home

Live-in care is the most comprehensive form of support available to an elderly person who wishes to remain in their own home. A trained caregiver moves in full-time, providing a constant presence, attentive care, and genuine companionship around the clock. For families, this means the deep reassurance of knowing their loved one is never alone - and for family members who have been carrying the weight of daily care themselves, it brings long-overdue relief. For many families, live-in care represents the ideal balance between preserving the senior’s independence and ensuring their safety.

Who It’s For

Live-in care is the right choice for seniors who need help with most of their daily activities but want to remain at home and keep their familiar routines intact. It is especially well-suited to families where adult children live in another city or lead demanding professional lives that make daily care impossible. It is also an excellent option for individuals recovering from a hospital stay or surgery who need intensive, sustained support during the weeks of recuperation.

What’s Included

• Around-the-clock caregiver presence: The caregiver lives in the home and is available at any moment - including during the night if an urgent need arises.
• Personal hygiene assistance: Support with bathing, dressing, skincare, and dental hygiene, always delivered with full respect for the senior’s dignity and personal preferences.
• Meal preparation and support: Cooking according to the senior’s dietary needs and food preferences, along with mealtime assistance where needed.
• Health and medication monitoring: Regular measurement of vital signs, medication reminders, and administration according to the prescribed medical schedule.
• Light housekeeping: Tidying, laundry, and cleaning to ensure the home remains a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment.
• Companionship and emotional support: Conversation, shared activities, and a warm daily presence - because the emotional dimension of care matters just as much as the physical.
• Accompaniment to appointments and outings: The caregiver escorts the senior to medical appointments, pharmacies, or any other necessary destination, ensuring safe and comfortable travel.
• Immediate family notification: In any change of condition or emergency, the family is informed without delay so everyone stays connected and informed.

How It Works

1. Assessment: Our care coordinator visits the home to assess the space, understand the senior’s needs, and discuss the family’s expectations in detail. We cover practical matters - schedule, medical history, dietary needs, and daily preferences - as well as the personal qualities the family hopes to find in a live-in caregiver. This meeting gives us everything we need to make the best possible match.

2. Matching: We select a caregiver with the right training and experience, and - equally important - a personality that is compatible with the senior’s own. We organise an introduction meeting before any commitment is made, so both the senior and the family can feel comfortable with the choice. If needed, we will try more than one candidate until the right connection is found.

3. Onboarding: The caregiver begins with a supervised introductory week, during which our coordinator maintains close contact with both sides. We make any necessary adjustments, answer questions as they come up, and ensure the daily routine takes shape naturally and comfortably. Any caregiver change, should one be needed, is handled at no additional cost.
