Throughout our lifetime, we build up a story about who we are, where we came from, what we achieved and intertwine them with the people we meet.
No matter where we end up in the world, no matter how many stories we have to tell, there is always one place we seek and that is somewhere to call home.
Many of us already have a place to call home where many of our memories are centred around and the thought of having to give it up does not bare thinking about.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable and things can happen in our lives that are often out of our control and require us to seek care.
The possibility of moving into a care home can be a harrowing and emotional experience; however, there are other options where retaining independence by continuing to live-in your own home has become paramount for many people.
The Rise of Live-In Care
Even in cases where complex care is required, live-In care services are on the rise as a viable option to allow families peace of mind and their loved one to retain independence.
Elderly members of the population are living longer meaning the impact on the care service is greater.
As demand grows, live-in care services bring many benefits not just to the families but also bodies such as the NHS.
Research has suggested that people who remain in a personal setting whilst receiving live-in care reportedly suffer a quarter fewer hip fractures and a third fewer falls than those in care homes.
A reason for this can be attributed to the assessment process a live-in care company such as Arbour Care carry out in order to ensure a carer is carefully matched with those they provide for.
This is a critical factor as the need to form a positive friendship is paramount to all concerned with a close bond bound to be formed between the live-in carer, the person requiring care and the family.
After all, if home is where the heart, why would you leave?
