Live-In Care

Aging in place with live-in care

Many seniors today prefer the comforts and safety of their own home to other care options. Assisted living facilities and nursing homes cannot offer the comforts of home. Especially in this era, safety in one’s home with the support of a professional is the preferred option for many reasons.

A live-in Caregiver stays with you 100% of the time. This means that your caregiver has a temporary living space in your home where they can sleep and store their belongings. While this may take a little getting used to for some, once a relationship develops there is a meaningful bond between the Caregiver and the client. This starts with compassion and is furthered by trust and personal care. A live-in Caregiver makes staying in one’s own home possible for those who can no longer live independently.

A live-in can assist with the activities of daily living and personal care including:

  • Bathing
  • Mouth care
  • Dressing
  • Hair care
  • Feeding
  • Toileting
  • Medication reminders
  • Skin care
  • Exercise

The benefits of receiving care in the comfort of your own home over a facility include:

  • Avoid the cost and stress of moving to a nursing home, assisted living or other long-term care facility
  • Enjoy your regular routines and schedules, which isn’t possible in a facility
  • Retain independence and personal comforts
  • Welcome friends and family when you want to
  • Remain in the place where your cherished memories were created
  • Retain cherished possessions, pets, or hobbies.

A live-in can ensure your loved one’s safety and security by supervising the home environment. They can also do meal planning and preparation, routine housekeeping activities such as making/changing beds, dusting, vacuuming, washing floors, cleaning kitchen and bathroom, and laundry. One of the most important aspects of a live-in is the companionship including social interaction, conversations, emotional reassurance, and encouragement of activities that stimulate the mind. This keeps your loved one engaged and supports a quality of life while aging in place. Does your loved one like movies, knitting, or going for walks? These are the types of things that a live-in can make happen and ensure a highly quality of life.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 24-HOUR CARE AND A LIVE-IN

In addition to live-in care, Home Helpers of Monmouth County offers 24-hour care. This differs from live-in care in 24-hour care is usually comprised of multiple shifts providing round-the-clock care. Both situations have their place depending on the type of care needed, and we can help you determine the best solution with a free in-home care consultation.

CAREFULLY-SCREENED CAREGIVERS

At Home Helpers of Monmouth County, all Caregivers are carefully phone screened and interviewed by the owner in person. In addition, a comprehensive set of background checks are run including Address History, SSN Trace, Sex Offender Check, Global Watchlist Check, National Criminal Search, County Search and DMV. As part of the background check a FACIS (Fraud and Abuse Control Information System) search is completed which identifies any potential wrong actions and disciplinary actions of individuals in the health care field. The final step in the screening process is a reference check. All of these steps are in place to ensure the overall goal for everyone: your loved one’s safety and comfort at home.
