Care Homes versus Live in Care – Which is the Better Choice for the elderly?

When is it time to move into a residential care home or when is it better to opt for Live In care services within your own home ?

Following the recent Covid 19 pandemic and the well published safety of Individuals within Residential Care Homes, this decision is more important than ever. When an Individual is at home, they can continue their lives independently and are not at the same risk of infection as they would be in a residential care home setting.

Many older adults prefer Live in Care because of the many benefits it can bring to their life. The following can help you decide which would be better for your needs during retirement living:

Residential Care Homes

Residential care homes offer care in a specialist establishment in which the individual permanently live their lives with other residents, all of which with varying health conditions. Usually, those in residential care have their own room and bathroom, although they have their meals made for them and would not typically be able (or expected) to cook for themselves. The amount of independence which is available to each individual will very much depend on the establishment the individual is in and the individual’s own health & well-being. Some residential homes are happy for residents to come and go as they please, provided they are fit and well enough to do so. Other Residential Homes do not allow this with access restrictions in force at the care home often as a result of the varied health conditions of the residents many of which with Dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Live In Care

24 -hour Care & Support Services such as Live in Care Professionals provide is a much better as well as being a preferred option for many when compared with what you would receive within a care home. This is because it is carried out in the comfort of your own home, it is personal, it is individual and the ratio of carer to the client is always one to one rather than the one to five or more residents within a care home.

Our Live in Care services allow clients to remain living in their own home they have been living in which avoids having to cope with a new environment and new people, a situation which in itself can be stressful and depressing to many of our loved ones.

What is the Difference Between Live in Care & Home Care?
