For some patients without friends or family to help look after them when they fall ill or suffer from age-related problems, a residential care or nursing home may be their only solution. Fortunately, at Silverspoon, we believe in a person’s right to receive appropriate care and treatment in their own home, and our live-in care service affords patients exactly that privilege.
By providing you with a trained, professional and above all else, trustworthy caregiver, you can remain in the sanctuary of your own home, and still receive the level and standard of care that you would in a residential facility.
Why choose a live-in caregiver over residential care?
Your home is where you feel most comfortable, and you may even have many memories enshrined within its four walls. As such, receiving high-quality and affordable care and companionship from your home makes a wonderful alternative to residential care.
When it comes to arranging care for a loved one, most family members would prefer to be able to visit their relative at home, no matter how welcoming and comfortable the residential care facility may be, making our live-in caregiver service the perfect solution.
additional benefits for our living care services
- A dedicated caregiver
At Silverspoon, we understand the importance of familiarity and continuity of care, and as such, will only ever send one person to work for you. Note that if required, couples may select a single caregiver to manage both of their needs.
- Around the clock care
No more worrying about medical or personal emergencies during the night, or feeling alone and helpless during the day. Our caregivers will be in your home with you, all of the time, and if required or requested, will be at your side every minute of the day, and close by during the night.
- Food and shopping
From cooking and grocery shopping to household chores, your dedicated caregiver will take care of all your needs around the home.
- Heading out
If you need to be driven anywhere, for any reason, your caregiver will take you there and back as requested.
- Medication
Your medication is extremely important, whether it’s part of your recovery process or ongoing care, and it must be taken on time and in the correct dosage. Your caregiver will administer your medication, obtain repeat or new prescriptions on your behalf, or schedule an appointment with a doctor or specialist.
- Companionship
Loneliness and feelings of isolation can affect anyone of us, but as we get older, these feelings can become more intense and more difficult to bear. With a dedicated caregiver in your home, you’ll never feel alone and will always have someone to talk to, about anything and everything. They will also help you enjoy activities such as baking and gardening, or play games and quizzes with you to help keep your mind active
