Live-In Care
KIVERNELL CARE provides
live-in care for varying types of clients. This involves a carer living
with the client in the client’s home to provide
a range of care suited to their needs. Because of the nature of this
type of care, every effort is made to provide a carer who is suited
to the individual needs and personality of the client. The carers provided
will tend to work a shift pattern of two weeks on and two weeks off.
This means that clients may have two carers looking after them each
month. From time to time, it may be necessary for new live-in carers
to shadow existing live in carers, as part of their induction.
Prior to the commencement of care, our live-in manager will visit you
at home to discuss your needs and requirements and the level of
support that you will require. We will draw up an agreed care plan
and contract between ourselves and agree a date for starting the
care. When care starts, our live-in manager will personally introduce
the carer to the client and discuss all aspects of the care. The live-in
manager will then visit regularly, especially in the first few weeks
to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Due to the
type of care being provided you will need to have the following
facilities available:
• A
bedroom for the carer
• Provide suitable food and drinks
• An
average break of 2 hours per day away from the clients home – as
mutually agreed between carer and client
