Live-in Care
Specialist Dementia Support
Our care staff are trained to help people live fulfilling lives, by identifying the skills which they have developed over a lifetime, and supporting them to continue using them even if they have lost a key stage in the process. This positive engagement can help reduce feelings of isolation, frustration or uselessness, which are often key motivators in difficult behaviour patterns. No two people are the same, which means that no two people’s journey with dementia will be the same. The extensive knowledge gained by the team allows them to be flexible and adapt our care delivery to meet the unique needs of our customers as they arise. 24-hour live-in care can be the perfect solution for someone living with dementia, as the care assistant has the whole of their working day to build strong relationships with their customer, and to find ways to give them the best quality of life.
Dementia & Alzheimer's Care
Temporary Live-In Care
A short-term live-in care package is an excellent alternative to a stay in a care home. If your regular care arrangements are on hold, perhaps because of holiday cover or illness, Bluebird Care can step in and fill the gap. Without the upheaval and inconvenience of you having to pack up and move, we can arrange a stress-free handover with your current care team, so that you can continue to enjoy your own routines in your own home. Once we have completed our initial set-up, any subsequent respite care is significantly reduced, making this a great option if you require multiple breaks per year.

Couples Live-in Care
Our couples live-in care service helps loved ones stay together in the comfort of home - even when one partner needs long-term or specialist care. Highly trained carers offer support with daily tasks, personal care, and companionship. It’s a cost-effective, flexible alternative to care homes that promotes independence, emotional well-being, and continuity. Whether it's help due to illness or simply extra support, we create tailored care plans to suit each couple’s needs, so they can keep living life, together.

Your Questions, Answered
Q. Can I choose who delivers my care? | A. Yes. We like to involve you in the recruitment and selection process as much as you want. We will let you know who is available and arrange for an informal meeting before any commitment is made. |
Q. Can my care assistant assist me during the night? | A. Bluebird Care’s care assistants will be happy to help at any time of day or night. It is important to remember that everyone who works in the UK has the right to 8 hours uninterrupted sleep, or compensatory rest if their sleep is disturbed. |
Q. Can my care assistant replace my gardener or handyman? | A. Bluebird Care’s live-in care assistants will gladly join you in maintaining a garden and keeping your home looking beautiful. They may use hand tools such as secateurs or trowels, but not chainsaws and shovels! Light household maintenance is possible, but not anything which requires certifications. |
Q. Can my live-in care assistant drive for me? | A. Many of our care assistants are drivers, and you may specify this when choosing your care. If you wish them to drive for you, you must own a suitable, safe vehicle and have appropriate insurance. |
Q. Is Live-in Care 24 hour care? | A. It can be, but each care assistant will be expected to be available to work for between 8 and 12 hours per day. If more than care is required, then more than one team member will be required. |
Q. Is Live-in Care a cheap alternative to a care home? | A. Definitely not! Live-in care is simply the best quality of care you can commission. The care which is received is tailored specifically for you; nowhere else will you receive the undivided attention of a dedicated care assistant who will adapt and train to meet your needs and requirements. The cost is roughly equivalent to that of a good residential home. |
Q. What standard of accommodation do I need to provide? | Your care assistant will require their own room, with a comfortable bed, storage, and a chair and desk/table to work or study at. There should be suitable lighting, definitely a window and power sockets available. You will also need internet access. |
Q. Will I always have the same care assistant? | A. This depends on how you want the package to be set up. Your care assistant will need regular time off, approximately one week in four, and also around five weeks’ holiday per year. If you need care every day, 365 days a year, it is best to have a small team of care assistants whom you will get to know. This ensures that there is always someone on hand with whom you have a good working relationship. |
Leadership within the service was strong which supported staff to be motivated and clear on support that people needed. Staff were imaginative and highly pro-active which meant the service was outstandingly responsive to the changing needs of people, including people living with dementia.
