When it comes to finding the right live in carer, there are several things that you should bear in mind. As a leading provider of live in care, we’re here to guide people through the process and make sure that they choose a carer who is the perfect fit for them. Here is what you should look for.
One of the most important things to consider is whether a carer has experience working with a client who has needs like yours. Here at Live In Solutions, we work with clients with all kinds of medical needs, from those recovering from strokes to those facing the day-to-day challenges of living with dementia. So please feel free to ask us about your carer’s experience, as we want you to feel comfortable and safe with them.
Hiring a live in carer means that you are going to be seeing a lot of them, so it’s important that you get along. We encourage clients to meet their carer beforehand so that they can form those all-important first impressions in a low-pressure environment. We know that all of our clients have different personalities and beliefs, and we do our best to match them with carers who share their outlook and values—and who they can relax and have a laugh with too!
Having a live in carer you can count on to be there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, will give you peace of mind. However, there might come a time when they might be unable. That’s why it’s a great idea to ask about cover arrangements during emergencies or holidays. We’re happy to talk through all of this with you, and we’ll work with you and your carer to come up with a schedule that works for the both of you.
Effective communication lies at the heart of every successful relationship, and the one between you and a live in carer is no different! All of our carers possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, allowing them to express themselves clearly while also understanding your specific instructions accurately. They’re there to take feedback on board as well—and so are we. So, you can be sure that good communication will always be a priority.
Lastly, never overlook the importance of choosing a live-in carer who exhibits high levels of professionalism and trustworthiness. This is something that we pride ourselves on, and you can invite one of our carers into your home with confidence. They’ll respect your privacy when needed, take good care around your home, and you can be sure that your personal belongings will be safe around them.
Of course, there can be so much more that goes into choosing the right carer for you, and we will be there to support you throughout the entire process. To find out more, please get in touch with our team today.
