What is live-in care for couples?

Live-in care for couples allows you and your partner to stay in the comfort of your own home whilst receiving assistance from a professional carer with daily tasks. 

If one of you has a progressive condition such as dementia, you may have a concern that the day will come when you will have to be separated after so many years. Live-in care makes it possible for you to stay living together and enjoy each other’s company and independence.

You may be struggling to support and care for each other, and to maintain your independence. Just a little support from us can be all you need to keep enjoying each other’s company.

    Is live-in care for couples cost effective?

    There are many advantages to live-in care for couples, with the cost savings being a welcome bonus to an already favourable solution. Couples’ care in a residential home can cost up to twice as much as live-in care.

    As in a residential home, couples often require separate beds or rooms, costing considerably more. Having a carer live-in and care for you both is therefore much cheaper. Usually, the basic tasks are the same for a couple as if there were just one person, meaning you’ll save money arranging live-in care for you both.

    What are the benefits of home care for couples? 

    Cost isn’t the only consideration of course; having a live-in carer allows you to stay in your familiar surroundings and continue to support each other as you grow old together.

    With live-in care for couples, there can be days when one feels the strain of supporting the other, and you just need a bit of respite care before you return to the role of the main carer. That’s what we’re here for – we can sensitively take over your role for as long as you need, and then take a back seat once you’ve recharged your batteries.

    Peace of mind is also a significant benefit as you can rest assured that you are both looked after and won’t have to be separated from your partner further down the line. The quality of your care is also unmatched due to a dedicated carer being there for you who understands both of your needs. Staying with your partner in familiar surroundings and receiving top-quality care ensures that you can both stay happy, healthy and independent for as long as possible.
