Live-In Services
As seniors age, being able to live at home independently becomes difficult for them to do safely. The most common thought that seniors and their families have is that they will have to move to a nursing home or assisted living facility. But for seniors who want to stay in their home, live-in services are options to consider.
What Are Live-In Services?
Many seniors receive long-term care services at home in Raleigh, North Carolina. It’s common for a family member to provide caregiving services for older loved ones. But family members are not always able to live with their loved ones and provide consistent care due to other family and work obligations. A live-in caregiver can help meet the level of care that a loved one needs while reducing the burden placed on family members.
How Do Live-In Caregivers Help Clients?
Live-in care means that caregivers can help with different aspects of daily assisted care activities including:
- Dressing
- Bathing
- Grooming
- Feeding (If necessary)
- Meal preparation and cooking
- Ambulating and transfers
- Shopping
- Medication reminders
- Staying safe at home
Live-in caregivers help their clients throughout the day and with quicker tasks at night, like going to the bathroom. Live-in caregivers are allowed to sleep 8 to 10 hours at night. Since they are the only caregiver for the client, live-in caregivers cannot provide 24-hour live-in care. 24-hour caregivers usually work in 8-hour shifts with other caregivers to provide care constantly throughout the day and night.
