Read why clients choose us

We’re in the top 3% of care providers in the UK

We are the only live in care provider in Cambridgeshire to have been rated ‘Outstanding’ by The Care Quality Commission in all five key measures – safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.

Our live in care services in Cambridgeshire

For those living with specialist conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those requiring stroke care, cancer care or palliative care, our expert care teams are highly trained to provide care and support that positively enhances quality of life, enabling people to live well in their own homes.

Our nurse-led care in Cambridgeshire for those living with complex medical conditions is led and supported by a dedicated Clinical Lead, who works closely with our care teams to ensure we are consistently improving our clients health outcomes.

Whether you have mobility and frailty issues, are recovering from an operation and need convalescent care in Cambridgeshire, or you simply require companionship care at home, our comprehensive live in care service ensures you can live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Our approach to delivering complex care at home enables faster discharge from hospital to those coming into our care, whilst ensuring they have a comprehensive plan of care with all the equipment they need to live well at home, whilst significantly reducing the risk of falling.

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.

How we provide live in care in Cambridgeshire

There are several different situations when live in care can be used to support your care and support needs, including:

  • 24-hour live in care for when round the clock care is needed to ensure a person can continue to live well in their own home.
  • Respite care can provide a family carer with a much-needed break from caring for a loved one, or can be used as an opportunity to see how live in care works and whether it is right for you and your family.
  • Short term care or intermediate care following discharge from a Cambridgeshire hospital or for those needing post-operative rehabilitation.
  • Complex care of medical and specialist conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis can be supported with 24-hour home care – there is no need to go into a care home to receive this level of care.
  • End-of-life/palliative care which ensures a person’s needs and preferences are met until the very end of their life.
  • Emergency care at home for those who need an urgent live in care arrangement put in place following unexpected surgery, an accident or sudden illness.

Why choose The Good Care Group?

The Good Care Group is dedicated to delivering exceptional live-in care services, consistently achieving the highest standards in quality and service. We are proud to hold a range of industry accreditations and awards, ensuring clients and their families have confidence in our care.

Perfectly matched care team

A live-in care service usually involves two carers working a two-week rotation. They will be carefully matched working with you and your family. We make sure they are skilled and equipped to meet all your care and support needs. Our focus on matching means the care team chosen share common interests and backgrounds. We know this means life is enjoyable for everyone. Your care team really get to know you and your needs, which means you get consistency of care.

Expertly trained carers

All our professional carers are required to complete our leading training programme before they care for our clients. Our programme has been created with leading charities and clinical experts. It goes beyond mandatory requirements in the care sector. Carers are then equipped to provide high-quality care and support for those living with specialist conditions. Our carers never stop learning new skills to further enhance the care they provide.

Seamless continuity of care

Unlike an agency we employ our carers. This means they are committed to us, as we are to them. Carers enjoy the security of being employed, which means they stay with us longer. Those who work for agencies move around more. For families this means that you get continuity and consistency of the same care team caring for your loved one. This means high-quality care can be achieved with improved outcomes and no disruption to your loved one’s life.

In-house clinical experts

We’re proud to have a complex care service and a dedicated in-house Clinical Lead, Sabah Shah, who works closely with our carers to provide safe and effective nurse-led care at home. Sabah is responsible for leading, monitoring, and providing expert clinical support to all our care teams, ensuring they deliver the absolute best standard of home care for individuals with complex and ongoing health needs.

Innovative care technology

Unlike any other live-in care provider, we have our own online care community. Families, healthcare professionals and carers can access up to date information about the care being provided. It enables more effective monitoring, which means issues can be responded to efficiently.

For our families it provides a reassuring window into the care their loved one is receiving. Our carers also use the online community to share ideas and support each other. It provides a vital connection which is important when remote working. Carers will use the online community so their clients can enjoy time online. This includes video calls with family, so they feel connected. Clients can use it to shop online or browse the web.

Improving health outcomes at home

Every decision we make is driven by delivering improved health outcomes for our clients. Our digital technology allows us to predict risk and shape the care we provide. We measure health outcomes.

We want to know we are improving the quality of our clients’ lives every year, so that we can aim to promote independence, well-being, excellent nutrition and hydration, and enjoyment in life.

Our health and well-being outcomes aim to reduce:

  • Challenging behaviours
  • Antipsychotic drugs in dementia care
  • Falls in the home
  • Hospital admissions
  • Re-admission to hospital
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
  • Chest infections
  • Carer stress

Local teams with national coverage

We operate throughout England and Scotland with a local approach to management of our teams near you. Each dedicated care manager local to you has only a small number of clients to support.
