What is Live-in Care for couples?

Living with a spouse or a loved one in later life can bring a wealth of happiness and many other benefits. However, as people age, living at home safely can become unsuitable and extra support may be required. Often a care home or other residential facility may be considered but unfortunately, couples often can’t stay together.

If you or your loved ones require continuous care but wish to remain at home with your partner, Live-in Care for couples can be a great option. It offers a compassionate and practical solution for elderly couples who wish to remain together in the comfort of their home. This type of Home Care provides personalised and dedicated support tailored to the needs and preferences of both individuals.

At Alina Homecare, our Team of Live-in Carers are fully trained and ready to provide round the clock care so you or your loved ones can remain at home for as long as you choose. To learn more about our Live-in Care for couples, request a free brochure today or find your local Alina Homecare Team.

Your home. Your care. Your choice.

How does Live-in Care for couples work?

As couples age, they often provide care for each other. However, sometimes this can become too much and extra support is needed to ensure all care needs are met for both people.

Many would choose to continue to live with their partner for as long as possible and not be separated. Live-in Care for couples makes this possible. This form of Home Care is designed to support elderly couples to remain in their own home together whilst it’s safe and suitable to do so.

Many residential homes or other care facilities don’t cater for couples. In fact, very few care homes offer double bedroom accommodation meaning you or your loved one would likely be separated from your partner.¹ This unfortunately can have a serious impact on mental wellbeing.

Luckily, Live-in Care for couples can help. With this service, a fully trained Live-in Carer will move into the home and provide dedicated care around the clock. Care is tailored to the needs and preferences of both people so you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that all requirements are tended to no matter the time of day.

What are the benefits of Live-in Care for couples?

Choosing to receive Live-in Care to remain at home with your partner can bring some great benefits, including:

Maintain Independence

Remaining at home means independence can be preserved for as long as you or your loved one choose. Couples can continue to make their own choices about their daily routines and activities with the support of a Live-in Carer. Maintaining established routines can promote feelings of normalcy and familiarity when other things change. Ultimately this can positively impact mental wellbeing.

Peace of Mind

Knowing that there is a fully trained Live-in Carer within the home whenever you or your loved ones need them can bring a great deal of peace of mind and comfort. Whether there is an emergency or if immediate assistance is required, Live-in Care for couples provides quality care and support whenever it is needed. Having this peace of mind can make living at home more safe and comfortable.

Stay Local

Change can be hard, especially for the elderly. The worry and upheaval of leaving the community you know and love can be distressing at the best of times. With Live-in Care for couples, you or your loved ones can remain in the local community, filled with friends, family and cherished memories. Choosing Live-in Care means loved hobbies and attending regular events can be continued.

Stay Together

Many people feel the most safest when in their partner’s company. The thought of moving away from your loved one who you may have lived with for many years can be devastating and could have a serious negative impact on mental wellbeing. Receiving Live-in Care for couples means both people can continue to live at home safely together. This can also help to preserve the emotional bond within the relationship.

Cost Effective

A lot of the time, Live-in Care for couples can be more cost effective than other facilities such as a care home. This is because the cost is shared between the couple whereas in a care home, the cost may be doubled for two people. The value of Live-in Care is also more cost effective than other alternatives as care is dedicated to only a couple of people.

Dedicated Support

With Live-in Care for couples, support is dedicated to only the couple no matter the time of day. This is often not the case in a residential home or other care facility as care is divided between multiple clients. If you or your loved ones require round the clock dedicated support, this may be the most suitable option.

Matching couples with a Live-in Carer

We understand the importance of matching the right Live-in Carer with the right couple. Receiving care can be easier when it’s from someone you enjoy having around! When you choose to receive Live-in Care with us, our Team will meet with you and your loved one to understand any specific needs, requirements and preferences.

We then aim to match you and your loved one with a Live-in Carer who suits any preferences, such as whether they’re male or female and we also look at any shared interests or hobbies. All our Live-in Carers have been carefully selected and have received excellent training through our exclusive Academy to provide high quality care for any needs.

“The Alina Homecare Team, led by a very responsive, strong and experienced leader, are compassionate, thoughtful, proactive and consistently go above and beyond to ensure that my parents are cared for not only physically but also mentally.

They engage with Mum and Dad on a human level. Whilst they go about their work they might play them some music, talk about the family, laugh with them and listen to their needs and desires and respond as flexibly as they can.

My Mum has moderate dementia – she loves to laugh and chat and likes to keep herself looking good and they make sure that happens. The Alina Homecare Team have been an utter and total lifesaver for the family. We just could not have asked for better care.”

“My parents started using Alina Homecare for their personal needs early in 2022. They soon looked forward to seeing highly trained but caring, friendly faces each morning and never looked back. It relieved my Father of caring for my Mother whilst also helping him as he advanced in age. I have no doubt that their quality of life improved due to Alina Homecare.

He was so impressed that a few months later he decided to have Live-in Care because of their high standards and the most excellent, timely support from the Manager of Alina Homecare in Cheltenham. Live-in Care is a major step change, but Alina Homecare soon found the perfect Live-in Carer for my parents.

It’s no exaggeration to say that she became part of the family, looking after my parents’ every need in the most efficient and sympathetic way.”

“My parents had been reluctantly heading for a decision on some kind of home care, over a six month period and the Manager and her Team have been exceptional in diplomatically supporting and adapting to that decision which rapidly developed into Live-in Care following a five week stay in hospital for my Mother following a fall, which triggered more advanced dementia.

Now a month down the line, my parents love the Team and I feel confident in putting my full trust in them. A kinder more thoughtful service of care, you couldn’t ask for. A heartfelt thank you, from me.”

Anne, Relative, Leatherhead
