Live-in Care in Newcastle
Trusted Live In Care in Newcastle for Independence at Home
It can be an emotional time when the conversation arises about needing more support to live at home, or if you have the overwhelming feeling that you or a loved one might have to move into a care home.
Live-in Care at Home in Newcastle
Live-in care is a type of care service where a professional carer lives in the home of the person receiving care, providing round-the-clock support and assistance. This arrangement allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes, while still receiving help with daily activities, personal care, and medical needs. Live-in care is often chosen for elderly individuals, those with disabilities, or people recovering from illnesses who need continuous support but prefer to stay at home rather than move to a residential care facility.

When searching for care it's very important to put the needs of the person first, and you have to ask yourself, is a care home really the best option for my loved one? The answer is, probably not, although care homes provide valuable support, it just isn't the same as being in the comfort of your home, with your memories, your pet and even your partner. Below we explore the significant differences.

Live-in Care | Residential Care Homes | |
| Familiar Environment vs. New Surroundings | Allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar possessions, routines, and memories. | Require a move to a new environment, which can be unsettling, especially for those with dementia or cognitive conditions. |
| Personalised Care vs. Shared Care | Provides dedicated, one-on-one support, ensuring personalised care tailored to the individual’s specific needs. | Typically have staff attending to multiple residents, meaning care is shared and less personalised. |
| Independence vs. Structured Schedule | Offers more flexibility, allowing individuals to maintain their own routines, hobbies, and social life on their own schedule. | Operate on a set schedule for meals, activities, and care, offering less personal freedom. |
| Continuity of Care vs. Multiple Carers | Ensures continuity by providing a consistent carer, building a strong, trusting relationship. | Often involve multiple staff members caring for a resident, which can lead to less continuity in care. |
| Companionship vs. Social Interaction | Offers companionship with a dedicated carer but may involve less social interaction with peers. | Provide more opportunities for socialising with other residents, though some individuals may prefer their privacy and personal space. |
| Cost of care | Can be more cost-effective for couples who wish to remain together, as they share the service. | Charge per person, making it more expensive for couples, though it may be more economical for those requiring high levels of medical support. |
We had not heard of live-in care until we spoke with Bluebird, it was exactly what we were looking for, and we had comfort straight away that it was what Mum wanted. Nothing is too much trouble for Bluebird, and they sit down and plan out activities that Mum loves to do, they have even got her back into doing gardening. Big thank you from all of us
