Are care homes expensive?
Care home fees vary widely according to the individual needs of your loved one and other factors such as the location of the home. Care homes with nursing are generally more expensive than homes that only provide social care because of the increased cost of employing trained nurses, and specialist dementia homes also charge higher rates.
The cost of live-in care is often lower than care home fees, sometimes saving as much as 30% compared to the cost of residential care. If you are looking for care for an elderly couple, live-in care is very much less expensive and has the added benefit of allowing them to stay together in their own home rather than being parted, as they would be in a care home.
Live-in care is completely tailored to the individual and encompasses a variety of roles, depending on your loved one’s needs.
From simple companion care through to the more complex demands of caring for someone with advanced dementia, for example, who may require assistance with personal care tasks, such as bathing, dressing and personal hygiene, the carer will happily fulfil a wide variety of roles within your loved one’s home.
Most carers help with household chores, prepare healthy meals, look after pets and encourage their care recipients to lead full and active social lives, wherever possible.
Because live-in care is bespoke, the carer will modify their duties according to your loved one’s needs, stepping back where necessary to allow your loved one to retain their sense of independence, whilst being on hand to offer help and support wherever, and whenever, it’s needed.
Yes, live-in care can support elderly people with visual impairments to carry on living in their own homes.
In fact, elderly people with visual impairments are often much happier remaining in their home, where they know the layout of rooms, and where all of their treasured possessions are close at hand. Moving into residential care can cause confusion and distress to anyone with sight problems, as they struggle to find their way around in unfamiliar surroundings.
With the help of a live-in carer, your loved one can continue to enjoy their favourite hobbies, pastimes and outings. The carer will be available to offer support and assistance at every hour of the day and night, providing reassurance, not just to your loved one, but also to the wider family.
