Although we don’t doubt that a nursing home has a place in
the care world, there are many instances when live in care is preferable, and
certainly more desirable. To help you understand why this is we have come up
with 5 advantages that live in care has over living in a care home.
One on One Care
The first and perhaps most obvious advantage to live in care
is that the support and assistance is given on a one-to-one basis. This extra
attention means the highest level of care can be administered, and a greater relationship
between carer and patient can blossom.
Highest Level of Support
The structure of a care-home means that vital issues and
instances may go unreported on the changeover, but with live in care they can
provide around-the-clock support – which is of a great benefit to anyone
needing a substantial amount of care.
Familiarity
On top of needing care, the thought of moving out of your
family home adds an extra burden and stress on the situation – live in care
means you can stay in the comfort of your own home while still benefitting from
professional support.
Companionship
Having care on a one-on-one to basis means that not only are
you receiving more focused care-plans, but it also allows care-givers and
clients to form closer bonds. This works for both parties as it provides
companionship for those needing care, and friendship for those administering
it.
Flexibility
Most providers of healthcare at home can tailor individual
plans to meet the needs of that particular client, and the fact all of this is delivered
on a one-to-one basis in familiar surroundings means there is complete flexibility
to suit their personal needs.
