Visiting Care: Someone needs support at a certain time of day - for example, two hours in the morning to help them get washed and dressed, or two hours in the evening to prepare a meal and help them get ready for bed. Alternatively, a Carer may visit when a family member is unavailable, such as at lunchtime when they're at work.
Live-in Care: Someone needs round the clock support - they may be prone to falls or require constant supervision in case of an emergency. A Live-in Carer will move into the home so they're available when needed. Live-in Care is a viable alternative to residential care for someone with more demanding care needs.
Respite Care: Someone needs care and support in the absence of a primary caregiver, usually a family member or friend. Visiting Care or Live-in Care can be put in place, depending on the length of respite needed - for example, a Carer can visit a few times a day while the family is on holiday, or a Live-in Carer can be arranged if the person needs round the clock support.
Overnight Care: Someone needs a Carer present during night time hours. Choose from Waking Nights or Sleeping Nights care, depending on if the Carer needs to remain awake or not. This may be an option for someone who has a primary caregiver throughout the day, but this gives them a chance to rest at night time. It may also benefit someone prone to falling or wandering at night.
