PEACE OF MIND FOR RURAL FAMILIES
When it comes to arranging care in rural areas, what are the options? For people who have grown up in, or lived in, a close-knit rural community for years, the idea of having to leave can be hard to bear.
When you’ve lived in a house and an area you’ve loved for years, you’ll feel right at home and will have gathered quite a collection of possessions over the years that help you feel safe and comfortable. So to remain surrounded by them and able to see them every day is of huge comfort, especially if you’re dealing with an illness or living with dementia.
That’s where our specialist live-in care service can help you to continue living in familiar surroundings within the comfort of your own home.
The peace of mind of 24/7 care
If you live rurally, friends and family can find it difficult to visit on a regular basis. With live-in care, you’ll have someone there to offer companionship, help around the home, and expert support.
All our carers are trained in first aid, giving you extra reassurance in an emergency. And if your carer needs additional support, they will have access to a 24/7 dedicated emergency line to get advice from another trained professional.
Enjoy your life at home and in your community
Whether it’s pottering in the garden, feeding the birds or attending the weekly Bingo at the community centre, the routines and habits you build up when you live in a rural community will be different to those you would have available if you moved to a city. With a live-in carer you’ll be able to keep doing the things you love for longer.
If your carer has their driver’s licence, they’ll be able to help you get to where you need to go, take you shopping to the supermarket, run errands and deliver you to appointments with health care providers too. All of which might become tricky were you to live alone in the countryside.
