Advantages of having a live-in
carer with Great Concept

The main advantage of engaging a live-in carer with Great Concept is the dedicated one-to-one care by a primary Live-in carer. Who understands your needs, and you do not have to always explain to different carers every day.

Surrounded by your possessions, in a completely familiar setting. While residential care can offer a valuable service, most people prefer to stay in their own home if they can.

You have the reassurance that someone is available to help you if there is a problem. Live-in care also offers companionship, reducing the risk of you feeling isolated and lonely. A professional carer will also support you in your interests and hobbies, encouraging you to continue with them wherever possible. This can have positive effects on confidence, happiness and wellbeing. If the carer is happy to drive you or accompany you on journeys, it even makes keeping in contact with friends and the local community much easier.

you remain the main decision maker throughout the lifetime of engaging a Live-in carer with Great Concept. We recognize that the immediate family member remain the primary source of support for their loved ones and that is why we put the control of the care in your hands.

At Great Concept, we have professional carers who are also pet lovers and agree to help look after a pet that might otherwise be put up for adoption or sent to a new home if you were to move into residential care. Many care homes and sheltered housing do not allow pets.

If a relative or friend spends time with you to help out, having a live-in carer can ease that relationship as they can then be with you in a more relaxed way rather than being drawn into being your full-time carer, which can be stressful and time-consuming. This practical and emotional benefit takes the pressure off your family feeling that they need to be available to you all the time.

If you’re still able to travel for holidays, this may only be possible if you’re able to take a full-time carer with you. Having a live-in carer allows you to continue your way of life with as little restriction as possible.

Many live-in carers are specially trained to deal with such conditions as dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, MS or palliative care.

For couples, the cost of live-in care can be significantly less than a residential setting and loving partners are able to stay toget her. In some cases in residential setting, where one has dementia, they are separated.

Unlike other providers, at great concept, we prioritise good care service over financial rewards. It is therefore our pledge to all our service users and their families that we will not increase care cost over bank holidays.

Having a primary carer, provides continuity and improves the quality of the care received over time. Although the primary live-in carer may require intermediate breaks every 4 to 6 weeks. This wouldn’t really affect the care quality compared to having different carers every day.

For many people, the community remains a major source of support, the community you have spent so many years building and knowing, you do not have to give up such an integral part of your life just because you require care, with Great Concept, it is possible to remain a part of your community. You can easily look out of your window and still see hose beautiful face that have been part of your life for so many years.

This is how time off usually works with most of our carers.

  • Week 1-4: Your loved one’s primary carer starts. They live in, working 12 hours a day, with two hours of breaks taken intermittently throughout the day.
  • Week 5: The primary carer takes time off. A substitute, ‘respite’ carer moves in. They’ll take care of your loved one until the primary carer returns.
  • Week 6-10: The primary carer returns. They’ll typically be in place for another four weeks.
