Live-in Care That Keeps Life at Home
With live-in care, a dedicated Kisumen carer lives in your home and provides ongoing support and companionship throughout the day. You stay surrounded by the things you love: your own home, your routines, your neighbours and even your pets.
What Is Live-in Care?
Live-in care is one to one support from a carer who lives with you in your home. Instead of visits at set times, your carer is there through the day to help with personal care, meals, household tasks and getting out and about, as well as offering reassurance and company.
For many families, live-in care is a welcome alternative to moving into a care home, because it keeps life familiar and allows couples to stay together.
