Live in care 

Live in care 

There is an alternative to moving into a Care Home. When needs change and more care support is required, it IS possible for you or your loved on to stay at home. 

Nest can provide one-to-one care with a professional Live-in Care Assistant who is always on-hand. 

There are many advantages to staying in your own home: 
 
Remaining in your own home in surroundings that you’re most familiar with 
Staying with your spouse in your family home 
Staying at home with your pets 
Having tailored one-to-one care and support 
Keeping the same routines 
Meals and meal-times, getting up in the morning and going to bed in the evening at the times you choose 
Continuing to do the things you love such as going out, seeing your friends, cooking and gardening 
Having some-one on-hand that is able to cook, drive and complete all the domestic chores 
Having a companion and confidante 
Following a thorough care assessment at your home, we will match one of our highly-trained, experienced Live-in Care Assistants to your specific needs and wishes. 
 
Our Care Assistants record daily logs which enable the family or LPOA to have a detailed overview of the care received. We employ our Care Assistants directly and take care of everything including payroll, training, breaks, holiday cover, insurance and a 24 hour / 365 days per year on-call service. We have Care Assistants available and we can start live-in care within 72 hours. 

Example of how Live-in Care works - Henry 

 
Henry's Care Assistant now supports him with many aspects of his life including helping him with a morning shower and dressing, administering medication, meal planning and preparation, accompaniment on trips out and organisation of appointments and social events. Henry now feels able to continue live his life safely and happily as he has the knowledge that his Carer is there to assist and support him in so many aspects of his life.
