Specialist Live-in Elderly Care Agency Download Brochure Reasons To Choose Live-in Care Hampshire Remain at home Quick & easy to arrange Cost-effective Peace of Mind Retain independence Advantages Of Live-in Care There are many advantages of arranging Live-in care, and as one of the longest-established Live-in Care Agencies in the UK we could talk about the benefits of live-in care all day! Below we have written a list of the main advantages of Live-in Care and have compared Live-in Care to a Care Home to help you in your decision-making process. Stay Living In Your Own Home Whatever your age, whether you are a young adult who needs support and care, or a frail elderly person, we believe it is your right to be cared for at home. It is perhaps obvious therefore that being cared for in the comfort of your own home is the primary benefit of arranging live-in care. There is no upheaval to moving into a care home and therefore familiar routines are kept whilst continuing to live amongst precious memories and in a community you know Live-in Care Is Good Value For Money When considering if live-in care represents good value for money, the primary consideration is in the actual ‘care’ being delivered. There is simply no substitute for one-to-one care in the comfort of your own home. One-to-one attention, care, and support throughout a 24hr period as and when required offers unrivalled levels of focussed care. In the south of England many residential homes can cost more than £1500 per week, so with Live-in Care being around £1,200-£1,500 per week there is synergy amongst the two in this regard. But institutions will rarely be able to compete with the personalised approach to care that having a live-in carer in your own home can offer. Peace of Mind for the Whole Family Middle-aged sons and daughter’s often find themselves pressured by the everyday role of being the ‘sandwich generation’ who are caring for elderly parents and their own children at the same time. Much the same as arranging childcare, whether that be a Nanny or a Parent’s Help, a Live-in Carer is the solution for elderly parents too. Arranging a home carer to live with a parent/s full-time will ensure they whole family have peace of mind knowing they are not alone, warm, safe, well-fed, and cared for. Those that live in the ‘sandwich generation’ need the commodity of time more that anything and arranging help for either children, parents or both is the answer. Live-in Care Represents Safety Thankfully, arranging live-in care ensures that even if you need full-time care, you can safely stay in your own home. There perhaps is no greater evidence regarding this than the Coronavirus pandemic proving how much safer it can be to remain living in your own home rather than moving to a residential care home. It is perhaps obvious that living in your own home reduces the risk of contracting infectious illnesses. Similarly, a ‘Live-in Carer’ is less likely to be a source of infection for a person living in their own home as he/she does not care for multiple people in many establishments. Live-in Care Offers Great Flexibility The nature of live-in care affords a professional caregiver the luxury of devoting all her time to just one person. Live-in care is delivered calmly, without haste and pressure. Complimenting the one-to-one delivery of care is the ability for it to be delivered as and when the client wishes. Fancy snuggling in bed on a cold winter’s morning or having your lunch a little later in the day or wallowing in a warm bubble bath at 3pm, live-in care allows the flexibility to change your routine to suit your mood, and supports your right to do what you want, when you choose. Choice of Live-in Carer Choosing who lives with you in your own home is of paramount importance. And based on your care needs and your personality we will work hard to present you with a choice of professional, qualified, and appropriately experienced Live-in Carers for you to choose from. Enjoy Nutritious Home-cooked Meals With A Live-in Carer Many of our live-in carers and their clients (where able) enjoy preparing meals together. The conversation and reminiscing generated whilst following a recipe together helps cement a firm relationship between the two. Cooking as an activity has many mental health benefits and can reduce stress (unless you burn the scones!), stimulate the senses and appetite, encourage creativity, maintain independence, and make conversation. ​ ​ Food ignites the senses, can evoke emotions and memories and can just be good old fun too! Live-in carers are perfectly placed to assist their clients with any special dietary needs. They can prepare a healthy, delicious, and nutritious meal plan tailored to their specific health needs and their preferred wishes. A Healthy Lifestyle Is Easily Promoted With Live-in Care As well as helping you keep a healthy diet, your live-in carer will help you lead a healthy lifestyle: keeping active, socialising, grooming & dressing, and much more. Your live-in carer can help you go to community events or host friends and family over for tea. They can also research local low impact exercise classes, or help you keep fit at home. Keeping active and social is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and as we get older can be difficult to keep up on our own - here is where your live-in carer can truly make a difference! Live-in Care FAQs How much does live-in care co st? As a ballpark figure, the cost for live-in care would be approximately £1,300 per week. This is substantially lower than care and nursing home fees. Read our advice on funding here. ​ What do I need to provide for my live-in carer? All you need to provide our live-in carers is a bedroom with access to a bathroom. We encourage our carers and your loved ones to enjoy eating together, with them includin g carers in the weekly food shop. You can find out more about preparing for your live-in carer here . ​ Can I choose my live-in carer? Absolutely. We spend time listening to the sort of person you would like, then we search for those whom we feel will offer you what you are looking for and send you a selection of people to choose form. The choice should always be yours. ​ What happens if my live-in carer goes on holiday or has time off? When your carer wishes to have a holiday, simply call your dedicated customer service representative and we will match other carers to you, present them to you for selection and cover their break so that your loved ones would never be left without care. ​ Can a couple get a live-in carer together? Yes, having live-in care is a great choice for couples and categorically represents excellent value for money when compared to paying for two people in a residential care home. The cost of having a live-in carer for a couple does not double when compared to a single person so it is absolutely beneficial. Find out more about the benefits of live-in carers for couples here . How quickly can I arrange a live-in carer? Often the same day when we work our magic! If you need emergency or urgent care, we can organise a carer to be with you within 24/48 hours. As a live-in care agency, we pride ourselves on making the care arrangement process simple, easy, and most importantly responsive to need. ​ What areas do you cover? Access Care arranges the finest live-in carers throughout England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales. From Winchester to Dumfries, St Ives to Manchester, we are also able to arrange care for loved ones who live abroad. Will my live-in carer be working 24 /7? No, nobody works 24hrs per day. Our Live-in Carers work with you for several weeks, working every day but not for 24hrs per day. They typically work a flexible 10 hours in each 24-hour period. This may include a 2-to-3-hour break in the day to enable the carer to support your loved ones at supper, in the evening and at bedtime. They will also get up once or twice in the night to support if required. ​ What do I pay an agency fee for? The answer to this is actually very simple, the agency fee pays for us, the Access Care "behind the scenes team", and enables our business to operate and provide our service to you.

Advantages Of Live-in Care There are many advantages and benefits of having 24 hour carers at home. Here we discuss the importance of home care for elderly and many of the benefits in greater detail to help you understand how arranging live-in care can truly help not only your relative through one to one care but give the whole family peace of mind. Stay Living In Your Own Home Whatever your age, whether you are a young adult who needs support and care or a frail, elderly person we believe it is your right to be cared for at home.

Live-in Care Represents Safety Thankfully, arranging Live-in Care ensures that even if you need full-time care, you can safely stay in your own home. There perhaps is no greater evidence regarding this than the Coronavirus pandemic proving how much safer it can be to remain living in your own home rather than moving to a ‘care home.’ Access Care is proud to be a member of ‘The Live-in Care Hub,’ an impartial information resource to help people decide about arranging live in home help for yourself or a relative. Our pooled research produced a report in 2021 entitled ‘Better At Home’ in which the following statistics re stated: ​ “…. live-in care offers greater safety and improved wellbeing, than institutional care. The members of the Live-in Care Hub together look after more than 2000 people and have been significantly less likely to be affected by Covid, despite being able to continue to enjoy their lives. The rate that people have died of Coronavirus in Care and Nursing Homes is about 7,136 per 100,000. The rate for over-80s in general was 2376 per 100,000. For live-in care, the rate was significantly lower at 1,482 per 100,0005” ​ It is perhaps obvious that living in your own home therefore reduces the risk of contracting infectious illnesses.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.” Lucie daughter of a client." Lucie, Daughter of Client "I have been so impressed with Access Care in arranging live-in care for my elderly father. From my initial inquiry through to choosing suitable carers, the care and attention to detail has been reassuring and I have felt that the team at Access Care have really understood our requirements and have gone out of their way to accommodate us. My father is flourishing in his own home with the support of experienced carers and I think this option has been a far better alternative to a care home. My father has been able to remain in the home he loves, with his beloved dogs and in the community he has lived in for the past 35 years." Josie, Daughter of Client "From the moment I first spoke to Tahira I was reassured that Access Care understood the importance of finding the right carer for mum. Once the carer was in place, the follow up with Jo was excellent. She regularly checks in to make sure everything is running smoothly and the handover when mum's primary carer went on leave was seamless. I can't thank them enough for the support they provided at a very difficult time." Diane, Daughter of Client "I would like to thank you all for the help you gave us in recent months with looking after Elizabeth. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had you working on our behalf from the first time James made contact with you. Like many families, we were not finding it at all easy to find carers who could meet Elizabeth’s requirements and stay wit h us but it became so much easier from November when Diana joined us as the first of the ‘Access ladie s’. Thank you for your patience and helpfulness, and understanding of Elizabeth’s needs, in making all the arrangements for us. Every one of the carers showed such kindness and understanding of Elizabeth’s illness backed by their huge knowledge and experience. They took the rough with the smooth, nothing was too much trouble and they were always so considerate of us, her family, as well.. We don’t know how they do it and can’t thank them enough. Each one of them brought something of their own to Elizabeth; Diana taking her on excursions, sending photos of her happy and enjoying herself; Stef patient and kind even turning her hand to plumbing; Gail whose dogs and budgie brought joy to Elizabeth; Jurate who mucked in and got on with the job efficiently and kindly; Rosie who gave us some of the best weeks Elizabeth had recently getting her conversing and socialising with her friends after a long gap; Maria so caring and cheerful giving Elizabeth some fun and laughter. Finally, Eva who is a very special lady. We were so blessed she joined us for the last few increasingly difficult weeks. It was obvious how mutually fond of each other they were and it is sad they did not have longer together. She recognised time was short and did everything she could to keep Elizabeth comfortable and calm. She went the extra mile sorting things out in the house to ease the burden on us after Elizabeth had gone. Thank you again for everything Access Care did for Elizabeth and us, we would not hesitate to recommend you." Carol, Niece of Client "Danute was the most lovely person you could ever wish to meet. She was helpful and loving, the best carer I have had and in fact more than a carer." Hazel, Client "Alice is very doting on my Mother, very attentive and very patient with her outbursts and accusations. All the family love her and we’re very grateful to have her caring for our Mother." Neil, Son of Client " I commend Access Care, as it was clear there is genuine compassion and interest in the people under the agency's wing, I personally have had most interaction with Tahira, who never takes a move without checking we're 100% clear on what is involved and is very easy to talk to if any further questions arise. We needed last-minute respite care and Tahira pulled everything together working flat out to make that happen with the right placement for my parents. Tahira really comes across as loving her work and is completely genuine in wanting the best care for the customer's loved ones. In terms of Access Care's approach to care in general, it's an above-and-beyond service that brings peace of mind when making the decision for care, especially reassurance that the care staff are qualified professionals, regularly reviewed and updated in training as necessary, and even the level of detail to ensure carers wash the bedding at the end of respite care which made such a difference to my workload on return. I also found it made all the difference being able to have consistency with head office, having used agencies before where the 'assigned staff member' was mostly simply a no-reply email!" Nicola, Daughter of Client " With Appreciation, I can’t thank you enough for all your care, kindness and friendship (especially the good humour!) As a family we cannot thank you enough for the care and compassion that Mum has received. Because you take the time to get to know her , her needs and the family, the care that you have put in place has always been an easy transition and made it possible to keep Mum in her own home." Vicky, Daughter of Client " Tina has been a cheerful and helpful carer for my mother over the last five months. Although my mother's rural village environment was quite a contrast to what Tina was used to, she settled in well and adjusted to a different way of day to day living and a new community. She keeps the home amazingly clean and tidy and always makes sure there are fresh flower arrangements from the garden around the house. Tina has shown a willingness to learn how mum likes things and is flexible and patient in her approach.” Catherine, Daughter of Client " We went away for the weekend the day after Otis arrived so he was really thrown in at the deep end. He supported me well at my friend’s wedding and we had a good weekend away. I was really happy with his care throughout the time he was with me and he kept my house clean and tidy.” Mr. M, Client " Regina has been so warm and nurturing and slotted into our family set up effortlessly. She has cooked and baked for Dad and often volunteered to cook for Dad's family too thus helping to continue to ensure the home is somewhere where friends and family are always made to feel welcome. She ate meals with Dad and would sit and watch films with him in the evenings. This gentle sense of companionship really helped to ease Dad's transition into accepting care and support. We really could not recommend her more highly.” Annie, Daughter of Client CALL US TODAY: 01264 319 399

Live-in Care For Companionship Companionship Live-in Care is a great care option for elderly people or someone of any age. It means your loved ones can stay in the comfort of their own home with support to do daily tasks but importantly not be alone. Companionship and emotional support are very important elements of life, especially as we get older. ​ Loneliness – the facts Loneliness and isolation can lead to problems in both mental and physical health. Research shows that loneliness is likely to increase your risk of death by 26% (Holt-Lunstad, 2015), and is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day (Holt-Lunstad, 2010). It also puts individuals at a greater risk of illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer's and increases blood pressure. Half a million older people go at least five or even six days a week without seeing or speaking to anyone - to us, that's a shocking statistic. And 2/5 of older people (about 3.9 million) say that their television is their main company. The number of people over 50 years of age experiencing loneliness is set to reach two million by 2025 - that's a growth of 49% in 10 years. Arranging a Live-in Care will obviously eliminate loneliness for at least one person – imagine if we could arrange one for everyone! ​ Benefits of a Live-in Companion There are many benefits to arranging a live-in companionship Your loved one remains independent They stay living in their home which holds many precious memories and is comfortable Friends and family can pop over any time They get to keep their beloved pets Some of the things a Live-in Companion can help with Housekeeping - Dusting, Vacuuming, Cobwebs, Bathrooms & Kitchens Home-Cooked Meals, Meal Planning & Preparation, Nutrition & Hydration Monitoring Laundry - Washing, Ironing, Bed Linen changes, trips to the Dry Cleaners Gardening - hobby gardening Looking after pets Outings - to clubs, shops, to see friends & families Hosting friends and family Going to appointments Cleaning nutritious meals Washing and dressing Keeping in touch with family on Facetime, Facebook, or Zoom Appointments - Booking & Accompanying to Doctors, Dentist, Optician, Hairdressers Correspondence - Mail, Computer Social & Emotional support - a friendly face and Companion so no worry of Loneliness Having a live-in companion means your loved ones are never lonely. Many benefits to both mental and physical health come from having someone to share your experiences. Someone to talk to and go through cherished photo albums. Someone to watch a film with or listen to your favourite radio programme. A Live-in Companion will help with fun and mentally stimulating activities such as baking, crafts, and gardening. Your loved one truly has the choice to live their life, their way. Many of our Live-in Carers become friends and can spot any changes in a person’s health or behaviour, meaning illnesses can be diagnosed and treated/relieved early. A Live-in Companion provides the ultimate peace of mind for the whole family - your loved one is well looked after and will never be left without a helping hand. For people who require someone to be in their home for companionship, security, and in case of emergency and to help with the day-to-day running of a home Companionship Care is the perfect solution. The vast majority of Companions/Carers we introduce at this level are fully qualified to deliver personal care and this is deliberate on our part - our reason being that when the time comes, should our client require additional help in this area, they are already very familiar with the Companion/Carer and the transition to care will be easy and seamless. Rest assured your live-in carer worker is not there to take over, to order you about, to do things his / her way - in fact, they are trained to do the opposite; they are there to support you to continue living your life your way and to help you as much or as little as you need.

Insurance We often get asked by our clients and carers about Insurance and what they should have in place. Home Insurance We would always advise that it is good practice to advise your Home Insurers that you will have a carer temporarily residing in your home. It is important to let the insurers know that the Carer will not be registered as living permanently in the home. By notifying them at the outset this could save any questions later on. Car Insurance If you require the carer to drive your loved one in your car, please make sure that you have suitable car insurance in place. Most of our clients have an open policy with the Insurers. This would usually cover anyone over the age of 25 with a full clean driving licence. This option would mean that you do not need to update the insurance with each new carer. Alternatively, if you have permanently engaged a carer, you may just need to arrange for that carer to be a named driver. We would suggest keeping a copy of the policy schedule or motor certificate in the house and possibly a copy kept in the glove box in the car. It is important to let the carer know where the details of the insurance are. Carers are always advised to ask to see a copy of this prior to driving their clients’ cars. It is also sensible for you to ask to see a copy of the carers driver’s licence. If the carer is driving your loved one in their car, then they are advised that they need to ensure they have business use on their insurance policy. Please ask to see a copy of this for your own peace of mind. Self-Employed Carer Insurance As the carers we introduce are self-employed they will be required to have their own 'self-employed care workers insurance.' We ensure all our registered carers have an insurance policy in place prior to presenting them to you for selection. Their policy typically covers: Public Liability up to £5m or £10m this has additional safeguards against claims for damage or loss of property & personal injury. Loss or Damage to Property Accidental Injury & Legal Expenses Legal Advice Helpline ​ A carer should always be happy to provide you with the details of their insurance, as indeed can we on their behalf if you'd like us to do.
