Staying at home with high quality live in care in Cambridgeshire
According to a survey conducted by the Live In Care Hub, 97% of us given the choice would prefer to carry on living at home whilst receiving the care we need. However, when families are faced with the realisation that their loved one or family member needs increasing levels of care and support, many still feel the only option is to move into a care or nursing home.
Whilst there are many good care homes in Cambridgeshire, live in care is fast becoming the preferred choice for those who wish to continue to live in their own home, whilst receiving the care and support they need to have a good quality of life.
The benefits of live in care in Cambridgeshire
There are many compelling benefits to receiving care in your much-loved home as opposed to enduring the upheaval and disruption that comes from moving into a care home.
Highly personalised one-to-one care just cannot be provided in a care home and the way you choose to live your life will be restricted by imposed routines – when to get up, eat your food and when to socialise.
For couples, live in care means you can stay together as a loving couple with the care and support you need, something that is not guaranteed if both of you move into a residential care home. Live in care for couples is a very cost-effective option when compared to needing two packages of care in a care home – with live in care in Cambridgeshire there is only a nominal additional fee to provide care to a couple.
