Live In Care

Live-In Care and What It Comes With

With Frosts Home Care, you will receive a professional caregiver who will live in your home. You will be able to see their profile and speak with them prior to their start date

A caregiver is equipped to assist you in all areas of your daily life. They can provide support with personal care, including bathing, dressing, and toileting, if required. The caregiver can also help with planning meals, shopping for groceries, and preparing food. If you have medications, they will ensure you adhere to your prescription schedule. With a live-in caregiver, you can enjoy greater independence in your home while also having someone to care for your beloved pet. They will motivate you to maintain social connections with friends and family or even join you for a coffee at a local café. The type of care offered can range from companionship to more specialized support, depending on your individual needs. Check out our Case Studies page for further details

What are the expectations your carer has for you?

The live-in carer will expect to have a room to themselves to allow them privacy to sleep and spend time off in. Ideally, the room should have some form of storage space, fresh clean linen and a TV. Also, as carers use mobile phones or tablets to record the events of the day, then the internet is really important. The carer ideally will shop, cook and eat the same meals with you and therefore you will need to allow a household budget for groceries to include food for the carer.

Technology

At Frosts Home Care, we have adopted cutting-edge digital technology to enhance our services. Our live-in care clients will transition from traditional written care plan folders to using iPads or similar devices. This shift allows carers to efficiently record daily essentials, including personal care, meal intake, and medication schedules, while also documenting the day's events. In real time, carers can note who visited, any medical appointments attended, and social activities enjoyed, all of which can be shared with your next-of-kin through a specialized app. This ensures that family members, regardless of their location, can rest assured that your care needs are being thoroughly addressed

Finances and Advice

We appreciate your inquiry to Frosts Home Care. We will arrange a suitable date and time for our visit. The Branch Manager will work with you to perform a care assessment, enabling us to identify the necessary level of care, the associated costs, and when we can assign the ideal caregiver for your needs

In the process of arranging your care, we will provide details about the carers' responsibilities, their schedules, and their time away from work. While they will be living in your home, there will be occasions when they will be off duty

Every day, caregivers are entitled to a 3-hour break, which you can schedule at your convenience. We appreciate that a uniform break time may not work for everyone, so we are happy to accommodate your preferences. Our approach emphasizes continuity of care, avoiding the rotational model used by many other providers. We believe that extended time together helps clients and caregivers build strong connections. Since many caregivers prefer to work for several weeks without interruption, we also provide an extra 5 hours off each week, leading to a total of 8 hours for relaxation and socializing, allowing them to recharge effectively

What is the situation when your caretaker has to pause for a break?

We will arrange a cover carer to come in and take over for the time your usual carer is away. To allow a smooth handover from one carer to another, we allow them a period of 4 hours to ensure that all aspects of your care will be discussed – even how you prefer your cup of tea. Although you have two carers in your home for this 4 hour period, you will only be charged for one.

We will make sure you receive a copy of the carer's profile along with their contact information, allowing you to reach out to them before they arrive at your home
