Live in care for the elderly

What does our elderly live-in care include?

Our team of highly trained carers are here to take care of all of your live-in care needs:

Personal care

Helping with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.

Mobility assistance

Helping the individual move around the home or providing support with walking and transfers (e.g. from bed to wheelchair).

Medication management

Ensuring the person takes their prescribed medications correctly and on time, sometimes including assistance with organizing pills or administering medications.

Grocery shopping

Helping to create a shopping list, assist with purchasing groceries, or even take the individual to the store. In some cases, they may also help with online shopping if the person is unable to do so themselves.

Meal preparation

Preparing nutritious meals and helping with assisted feeding if needed.

Everyday household tasks

Assisting with light cleaning, laundry, and other household chores.

Running errands

Besides grocery shopping, they might assist with other errands like picking up prescriptions, purchasing household items, or handling other necessary tasks.

Attending hospital visits

Some of our carers attend hospital or medical appointments with the individual, offering emotional support, helping to remember medical instructions, and ensuring that any necessary information is understood.

Post-appointment care

After medical appointments, carers may help follow any prescribed care plans or instructions from healthcare providers, including helping with recovery or administering post-treatment care.

Companionship

Offering social interaction, which is important for mental and emotional well-being, especially for those who may feel isolated.

Health monitoring

Observing changes in the person’s condition, reporting any concerns to healthcare providers, and possibly assisting with physiotherapy or exercise routines.

Night care

Providing support to individuals who need assistance overnight. Including assistance with bedtime routines, medication management, safety checks, health monitoring, and emergency response.

HOW WE VET

We make sure our carers meet high standards

Only a small portion of carer applications are accepted into our books.

Application review

We thoroughly review each application, checking qualifications, experience, and commitment. Only those meeting our strict standards move forward.

Background checks

We conduct enhanced DBS checks and verify right-to-work documents to ensure carers meet legal and safeguarding requirements.

Character assessment

Each carer attends a face-to-face interview where we assess soft skills, empathy and professionalism.

Skills & competency

We evaluate care skills and knowledge, including moving, medication handling, and infection control practices.

Reference checks

We contact past employers to confirm reliability, performance, and other key insights into the carer’s conduct.

Training & monitoring

After selection, we ensure carers complete any new additional training to comply with our rigorous standards.
