Residential, domiciliary or live-n care, which is right for you and your loved one?
Choose the right care option for you:
Residential:
Many homes are purpose-built to account for a wide range of circumstances. A key factor for many is the social aspect they offer with the chance to live alongside others on a day-to-day basis and enjoy a variety of activities. Residential care can also provide practical, emotional and personal support. Residents can keep their independence but also enjoy help with day-to-day tasks.
Domiciliary:
Continue living in your own home with visits from a carer. The intensity and frequency of domiciliary care visits will be determined by your needs, it may be that short-term ‘dom care’ will suffice after a hospital stay for example, but it may be that more regular care is needed albeit for relatively low-level care needs. You may find that just an hour or two a day is sufficient to meet your needs which may include just daily care and essential tasks. Dom care allows you maintain easy contact with family and friends and grants a degree of independence where possible.
Live-in:
If your care needs are more acute but you would like to stay in your own home then this option may be suitable. You’ll benefit from one-to-one care from a professional caregiver focussing on your needs, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind. This increasingly popular option is more financially viable for many.
