We’re delighted you’re considering Nightingales Live-In Care.
To make things as easy as possible for you, we’ve prepared a step-by-step guide to reassure you at every stage of the process.
We’ll get started with a chat with an experienced member of the team, who’ll discuss your options and help you decide whether live-in care is suitable.
Both the consultation and subsequent Care Assessment are completely free of charge – whether you decide to take up live-in care or not.
After your phone consultation, we’ll ask you to complete an Application Form and Care Assessment – either online or via the post.
This will cover all your loved one’s needs, such as medication, health, food and drink, and favourite interests. We’ll then create a personalised Care & Support Plan for you.
Our team will work with you to find the perfect companion carer for your loved one – based on the needs, preferences and requirements set out in the Care & Support Plan.
Once we’ve found your companion carer, we’ll send over a profile. This will give you and your family the opportunity to agree on the chosen person before we make final arrangements.
Once everything’s agreed, we’ll arrange a start date. On the day, one of our live-in care managers will come along with your companion carer to make sure they settle in nicely.
If you’re looking for professional care for your loved one, but not comfortable with them being in a residential or nursing home then this is a perfect solution. Care can be provided within their home where it’s comfortable and secure, ensuring your loved one is relaxed and provides continuity to their environment.
Live-in care is an ideal choice for anybody that requires support within their own home. We want to encourage our clients to maintain their independence and continue living in a homely but protected environment. We support clients with multiple conditions including mobility concerns and dementia, there’s no restriction to the clients we support.
At Nightingales we support clients with multiple medical conditions. Our staff team have been trained to provide you a high level of care standard and are specifically trained on various conditions.
These are some examples of the medical conditions we’ve supported.
We meet the needs of your loved one in finding the best match for you, this will be based on interests, skills, qualifications and personality type.
Before we make any arrangements and they move in, we will encourage you to meet them face to face or via Zoom depending on the location they will be coming from. If you do have any problems, feel free to contact us anytime and we can make arrangements for your replacement.
Setting up live-in care is effortless and begins with a care assessment where most information can be obtained over the phone. Give us a call on 0800 612 9132 or enquiry@nightingales.co.uk.
