LIVE-IN CARE : EMPOWERING INDEPENDENCE
Wirral Life talks to Jonathan Hayley , Regional Partner for leading Live-in-Care provider , Promedica24 Wirral
When you need support , finding the right kind is imperative to maintaining a good quality of life . However , relying on family members or regular short visits from domiciliary care agencies may not meet all needs , which can lead to feelings of helplessness and dependency . A more flexible approach can be life-changing .
Why choose Live-In Care ? Live-in care involves a dedicated carer moving into the individual ' s home , providing 24-hour support tailored to specific needs . Live-in carers enable people to live independently in familiar surroundings , preserving a sense of community , and support with pursuing personal goals . The emphasis is not just on physical well-being , but on nurturing mental health and social connections .
Crucially , the quality of live-in care is intricately tied to the training provided to carers . In the case of Promedica24 , the commitment to bespoke , person-centred training stands out . Carers are not just trained to perform tasks ; they are immersed in personalised on-the-job training , ensuring they understand the specific needs and preferences of the people they support . This approach goes above and beyond industry standards , reflecting a dedication to elevating the care experience .
Promedica24 ’ s nominations for the Home Care Awards attest to the efficacy of their approach , underscoring the importance of not just providing care but doing so with expertise , empathy , and a genuine understanding of individual needs .
Making the Right Choice : Liz ' s Story Liz ' s story exemplifies the impact of live-in care .
