Live in care: Making the city safe for your loved ones

When it comes to securing the best care for their loved ones, families often face the tough decision of keeping family members in their own familiar surroundings or opting for a location that is closer to them. 

While care homes offer the kind of round-the-clock care required by many residents as they get older, moving loved ones out of their homes and into a new and unfamiliar setting can be distressing for all involved – especially if the care home environment means great upheaval to their pace and way of life. 

Our live in care in London service not only enables your loved one to stay in their own home, but it lets them continue to access the care they need without being moved from the lifestyle and environment they know and cherish. All with the assurance that they are safe, well cared for, and happy.  

Help with everyday tasks and habits

For those exploring the potential of live in care for their loved ones in London, one of the biggest benefits is the availability of our care staff to conduct rituals and small tasks on behalf of the resident or customer. From stopping by the shop for a pint of milk to picking up the paper, collecting their post, and indulging in the chores that make a house a home, our team across London are primed and prepped to engage in all sorts of activities on behalf of their charges.

Other activities and tasks that our team can help with involve cooking, cleaning, driving the resident to appointments, and offering simple companionship when leaving the house is no longer an option. 

Support they need, in a place they love

Here at Ivy Palmer, we work with and for customers and individuals from all walks of life – and as such have become immersed in lifestyles across both city and country landscapes. We recognise the importance of feeling at home means adapting our services to suit the home life of those we support, with live in care enabling those living with illnesses, disease, and the debilitation of old age, to stay at home. 

Here are some of the reasons why we believe that live in care is the best thing you can do for your loved one:

• It allows them to stay at home – something which, for many of our customers, enables them to ground themselves in the routine that they are familiar with.
• It lets them retain access to pets, friends, neighbours, and other familiar aspects of their life.
• It allows them some semblance of control, which offers a positive boost to mental and physical wellbeing.
• It’s easy for you, their family, to visit them in their own space.
• It’s safe – with our team of carers highly trained in supporting and helping residents across all locations, surroundings, and situations.

Our live in care services across London offer a chance for your family member, whether through old age or disease, to gain full access to the care they need without leaving their home and the vibrant surroundings of the city.
