She was an absolute gem who was so kind and caring. Our medication is not easy and yet Jayne was always ready with pain killers – new patches and if there was a problem she rang my daughter who was able to help. She did my shopping always bringing things I asked for even though sometimes they seemed to be unavailable. My furniture has been polishes really well – she took pride in doing jobs to perfection, I envy the people she will go to and only wish I could have kept her here forever.” ​

Thank you again and you may be rest assured that when the opportunity arises (which it has several times) we always recommend Access Care." Sarah, Daughter of Client “Thank you for providing us with such a great carer, she has been a dream and we are very lucky to have had the carer and service we have had. 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

Reasons To Choose Access Care When researching Live-in Care, you may be surprised by the number of companies offering the service. We believe that finding the right one is rather like looking around a new home and ‘feeling’ it’s the perfect fit for you. We’d suggest you phone a few and just talk to them. The one that makes you feel at ease, that you feel really listened to (not just heard), and the one that offered you what ‘you’ are looking for (not what they offer) is the one to go for. ​ You’ll come across two ‘types’ of Live-in Care service delivery, both of which can be fabulous, again it really is horses for courses! Although every business operates to their own unique methods, here we seek to explain the two ‘models of live-in care’ to help make it a little clearer for you. ​ Managed Live-in Care Company A fully managed live-in care company quite literally ‘manages’ the care being provided by a Live-in Carer employed by them. Like any other ‘employer’ the company is therefore responsible for the training, supervision, performance of the carer and will take complete responsibility for his/her conduct. Live-in Care companies that offer ‘managed’ care are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we would advise you to read their latest report which you will find on the CQC website. ‘Managed’ Carers will work following strict instruction for a care plan, written by the company. Any changes are required to be re-drafted in the plan making the model less flexible than that of an introductory agency. Due to employment overheads, this type of Live-in Care will often be more expensive. ​ Introductory Live-in Care Agency (which is us!) An ‘Introductory’ Live-in Care Agency sources, recruits and introduces a Live-in Carer to you that is registered wit HMRC as ‘self-employed.’ So much like engaging a plumber or a cleaning lady, they will come to you for a period and provide a service to you that you require. ‘Introductory’ agencies can recruit specifically for you, sourcing a Live-in Carer that perfectly matches your wishes and needs in every aspect. Without the overheads of ‘employing’ live-in carers, this ‘model’ of live-in care is less expensive. This model of care allows you to be in complete control of the support and care given at any time throughout the day so it affords the ultimate level of flexibility on the market. ​ We listen to our clients. We understand that every client is unique, and every situation is different. It is through positive recommendation and regular glowing testimonials that we know we deliver a quality service with a uniquely personal touch that our clients love. They tell us they choose Access Care because we are “responsive”, “efficient”, “polite” and “open”. We use a combination of expertise and common sense to tailor-make each care package. We love to make things easy for you; to take away the pressure of your situation; to introduce care workers that establish the care package that really works for you and your family. Most of all, we work hard to find you a solution. ​ As a private introduction agency our clients experience great advantages over other models of live-in care. The way we operate affords ultimate flexibility coupled with the very best levels of continuity at truly cost-effective prices. Our recruitment processes are second-to-none and our care workers are required to refresh and enhance their training regularly to maintain their registration. We meticulously manage each introduction promising seamless cover, and continually review our service acting responsively as and when necessary. ​ Our personable office team are a combination of experts in the fields of homecare, recruitment, and training; as well as being friendly, courteous, and attentive. We are, most of all, human. We operate with our heads and our hearts. ​ We believe we have many other strings to our bow that stand us apart from our competitors too; we are family run with a strong succession plan in place to ensure we will be with you as long as you need us. We can offer our clients a one-week care trial, a perfect opportunity to see if live-in care is the right option for them. We regularly provide both short and long-term care solutions and are typically able to start a care package within 24hrs should you need urgent help. On the end of the phone 24/7, we are here to provide our clients with an exemplary service. ​ If you are looking for a care agency that is run by a management team with substantial experience as well as good old fashioned common sense; you’ve found us. 15 x More reasons to choose Access Care to arrange Live-in Care: 1.

Specialist Live-in Elderly Care Agency Download Brochure Reasons To Choose Live-in Care Lyndhurst 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!

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.

Emergency Rapid Response Live-in Care in 24hrs CALL US TODAY: 01264 319 399 Life is full of surprises and let's face it, they aren't always welcome. Occasionally the best laid plans will unravel, and families find themselves in urgent need of a helping hand. In the industry, we call this Emergency Care / Urgent Care or Rapid Response Care. ​ Some reasons why we are called upon for rapid response/emergency care may be: ​ A fall/accident reducing mobility According to the NHS “Around 1 in 3 adults over 65 and half of people over 80 will have one fall a year”. Whilst most do not result in a serious injury, there are those that do lead to broken bones. A fall can lead to a lack of confidence and a feeling of lack of independence. A Rapid Response Live-in Carer can move in at short-notice, help rehabilitate and literally get you back on your feet. The beauty of it, they can stay as long as it takes too. ​ Unexpected / unplanned illness or incident There are many reasons people arrange rapid-response Live-in Care. For our elderly clients we have been asked to find a Live-in Carer to help in the following circumstances: Grieving – when a spouse passes away social and emotional support is needed. Someone to take care of the house while our client comes to term with the passing of a loved one. An ear, an arm, a heart to understand. Family members are not always around to help, so an emergency Live-in Carer can step in and help support. Illness – from a grotty cold to a UTI (Urinary tract infection), recovering from a round of cancer treatment to the long-term effects of coronavirus. Whatever it is, a rapid response emergency Carer can help. Unplanned hospitalisations can be burdensome for any aged person. They seriously disrupt continuity of care and whilst often unavoidable can be eased with proper care in place to come home to. Although arrange an emergency Carer won’t change what happens in hospital, they can be engaged during a hospital stay to visit regularly and ensure the home is kept up together and ready for discharge. Short notice hospital discharge ​ The NHS are stretched to capacity and bed-blocking is most definitely a problem. We’ve known hospitals call us in desperation to support someone to go home and be cared for. Absolutely we can help. It’s understandable that if you need financial support from social services this will inevitably take time. They will arrange a discharge assessment to find out what help you need when you go home. ‘Intermediate care, reablement or aftercare’ are what they call this service, and it can be free for up to six weeks. It would consist of ‘Hourly Carers’ visiting through the day and a combination of other professionals as needed (E.g., Physio). If you would like to go home quickly, you can arrange your own care and engaging a rapid-response Live-in Carer is perfect in this instance. Providing one-to-one, round-the-clock care as you need it, not when a Carer visits. You have been let down by a current care provider Let’s be honest, unplanned and unexpected things happen and on occasion your current Live-in Care provider (if you have one) may have to let you down. If this happens, emergency care from Access Care could be the perfect solution. Happy to step in and help at short notice, our rapid response team are often able to find you a Carer the same/next day. ​ Family Carer needs to go away at short notice We often step in when a family Carer must go away at short notice. If they need to go to hospital themselves, become poorly or must attend to the children, an unplanned event, or any reason. A Live-in Carer can step in during any emergency to care for a loved one in your absence. Exhaustion! Whether it is respite that is much needed if you are a Carer yourself or feel flat and need a hand. Don’t let exhaustion take you down. There is a solution, and it is rapid-response Live-in Care. ​ We are here for you and have over 25 years of experience under our belts leaving us extremely well qualified to react quickly, efficiently and without fuss to find you an emergency Live-in Carer to relieve the situation. ​ Do you need a Live-in Carer urgently? We can help. Our short-term rapid response service is for you. We have a team of Rapid Response Carers and therefore the capacity to arrange for a Carer to be with your/your relative quickly as the need arises, often the same/next day.
