Live-In Care in Leamington – How Does It Work?
If you have an elderly parent who’s lived in Leamington for most or all of their life, then they may have precious memories attached to the town. One of the main benefits of live-in care is the fact that people can stay living in their own homes within their local community. If you have a loved one who’s receiving home care, it’s worth knowing how live-in care works. There may come a time when you need to increase the level of support for your parent.
There are many benefits to staying local within a familiar environment, especially if you have a loved one living with a condition like dementia. It can be very distressing for those with memory issues to leave the comfort of their home and move into an unfamiliar residential or nursing care setting. Live-in care enables people to stick to their daily routines and stay connected with their local friends and the wider community.
From Jephson Gardens to the Pump Rooms, there are lots of memorable places in
Leamington Spa which might have a special meaning for a family member. Depending on your loved one’s health, they may still be able to visit their favourite locations while receiving care at home.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care provides 24-hour personalised support in the comfort of your own home with dedicated Live-in Care Assistants. The aim is to help you or your loved one live safely, comfortably, and with dignity, with support during the day and evenings. Typical tasks might include preparing meals, administering medication and helping with personal hygiene. Live-in care can be a source of companionship and emotional support, especially when family members live far away. It can also be a way of scaling up regular home care visits, and it can be provided for those at the end of life, especially when someone has a serious illness.
Changing from Domiciliary Care to Live-In Care
Sometimes people already receiving domiciliary care need to scale up their support due to a change of needs or an emergency. When adult children live far from their elderly parents, it can make it difficult for them to provide immediate care when a crisis occurs. When the wife of one of our long-standing home care clients was suddenly taken to hospital with a suspected heart attack, her husband needed urgent support. As she was his main carer and with their daughters living many hours away, we stepped in to provide a flexible live-in care solution. Our professional Live-in Care Assistant will stay with our client to provide full-time support until his wife has recovered. Caremark Warwick’s immediate response to this emergency has given this family peace of mind during a difficult and stressful time. Read more…

“Caremark provided care for my husband for several years until his death a few weeks ago. The standard of care received throughout was excellent; however, the end-of-life care was exemplary. A small team was designated to assist him. The caregivers were gentle, caring and sensitive. They were always respectful, always making sure that he was comfortable, without moving him unnecessarily. In addition, they supported me through what was a very sad and difficult time, never rushing, always calm and ready to listen.” Kate S (Wife of Client)
