Many people reach a point in life where they need extra care and support, perhaps even around-the-clock.
The reasons are as individual as you are, and with Vitality live-in care, so are the solutions.
For example, someone who is living with progressing dementia has very different needs than a younger adult who needs support due to a long-term health condition.
Whatever the situation, most people want to stay in their own homes, rather than move into residential care.
Advantages of live-in care
If you’re thinking about residential care for yourself or a loved one, we invite you to consider the many advantages of live-in care:
- 24-hour one-to-one care from your well-trained Personal Assistant
- Qualified healthcare professionals on hand 24/7 for advice, care and emergencies
- Private GP included without extra cost – we even make house calls
- Staying independent, to live life as you choose
- Enjoying the comfort and security of familiar surroundings
- Remaining in your local community among friends and neighbours
- Continuing to enjoy the company of the pets you love
- Enjoying your garden
- Handing over the burden of household chores such as cleaning, shopping and laundry
- Choosing what you eat and when you eat, with meals prepared if you wish
- Staying in familiar surroundings, which is often a huge benefit for people with certain diagnoses such as dementia
- Avoiding the upheaval of moving house in later life, just when you should be enjoying the home that you worked so hard to create
You won’t see different faces every day, either. Consistent one-to-one care, offered by a person who understands you and your individual needs, is one of the most important benefits of live-in care.
You’re not alone with one-to-one care
We’ve seen that live-in care can help your relationships blossom, too. There are no visiting hours at home – family and friends can come to visit whenever you wish.
If you’re part of a couple, Vitality live-in care allows you both to continue living together at home. We also ease the burden so you can focus on what matters most – your relationship and enjoying life together.
For people who live on their own, having the companionship of a live-in Personal Assistant relieves loneliness and isolation. In our experience, this interaction improves wellbeing immensely.
Whatever your situation, you’ll find that your live-in Personal Assistant is good company, always ready to give you space when you need it, and share a pleasant chat and cup of tea when the time is right for you.
