My Homecare Kingston can arrange for a live-in - carer to move into their home to provide them with full time, 24/7 support. We work with you to design a carefully tailored live-in-care plan which outlines their normal routine, so that we do not disturb their day-to-day pattern and unsettle them at a time when they are most vulnerable.
A live-in- care will be on hand to provide both companionships, help with the daily chores as well as being on hand should an emergency arise. The primary role of being a live-in carer, is to enable the person that they care for to continue to live-in the home that they know and love – in comfort, whilst enabling them to retain their personal dignity, feel independent and in control of their own life
The services provided by a live-in carer will vary in accordance with the individual needs of the person requiring care. This is the primary benefit live-in-care round-the-clock, one-to-one care at home; it’s care in your own home – tailored individually to you.

Reviews:
1. ‘We have been using My Homecare for about 5 months now. It has made a huge difference to both my husband's and my life. Our carer comes in twice a week to help him shower and to change the bedsheets. What had previously been a necessary chore for him and me is now a high spot in the week. He looks forward to her visits and it gives me welcome times space. An excellent service.’

2. I cannot fault the care we receive for my nanny. The care is reliable, consistant and extremely caring. My nanny has dementia and we have found that the care provided has helped immensely to improve my nanny's quality of life and she is happy and comfortable. This has made a huge difference to us as a family.
