Live-in Care Farnborough

Why live-in care is a better alternative to care homes

Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The Good Care Group is the only live-in care provider in   to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating by CQC across all five categories. We know this provides families with peace of mind that their loved one is receiving the best possible care.

A fully managed and regulated live-in care service in  

Our fully managed and regulated live-in care service in   offers families reassurance at a time they need it most. Unlike introduction agencies who are not regulated by CQC, all our live-in carers are directly employed and managed by us. We ensure they are supervised by an experienced manager and supported by clinical experts – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Unrivalled management support

Each dedicated care manager has a small portfolio of clients in the   area, providing unrivalled levels of support to, not just our clients, but our care team enabling a service that is of the very highest quality.

Benefits of live-in care vs a care home

• One-to-one care and support around the clock with live-in care.
• A highly personalised care plan designed to meet your care needs whilst addressing how you wish to live your life with none of the rigid timetables experienced in a care home.
• Specialist care of complex conditions provided by highly trained carers delivered in the comfort of your own home.
• Staying at home means you can keep control of your life, with all your treasured memories and possessions around you.
• Considerable and proven benefits to overall health and wellbeing, with much needed peace of mind and reassurance for family members.
• The cost of care is comparable to that of a care home and considerably cheaper for couples, who would be charged double in a care home.
• Couples can stay together as a loving couple, as opposed to being split up to be cared for in different areas of a care home.
• Continuing to be part of the local community you have loved.

The support our live-in carers provide in  

Companionship care

At The Good Care Group, we have been enabling people in   to live a fulfilled and purposeful life in the comfort of their own home for over 10 years. Our live-in companionship care service means you can live well with the right level of care and support in your own home. A dedicated companion can really spend time getting to know you and how you wish to live your life – then offer the one-to-one company, care and support you need. This approach simply cannot be achieved in even the very best care home where carers are sharing their time between several residents.

Our carers can help you enjoy the local outdoor amenities in and around   including:

• Dog walks through Southwood Woodland
• A stroll through Upton Gardens
• A visit to Farnborough Hall

Our professional carers will also be able to assist you with appointments at the local hospital;

• Frimley Park Hospital
• Princess Royal University Hospital
• Fleet Community Hospital

And local pharmacies including and not restricted to;

• Bridge Road Pharmacy
• Chapel Pharmacy
• Boots Pharmacy

Additionally our carers can provide support in your home, including help with domestic tasks, monitoring and management of medications, compassionate companionship and meal planning and cooking.

Complex care

The NHS is the primary provider of complex healthcare services in  . Whilst much of this care is provided in hospital, services are also provided in other ways:

• In the person’s own home, where the NHS will either provide or fund a third-party partner or organisation to provide care services based on an assessment of needs.
• In a nursing home, where the individual is cared for in either a local authority funded home or a privately run nursing home.
• In a third-party partner’s facility where care is paid for by the NHS.

What conditions can our complex care at home support?

Our live-in care service for those requiring complex care is provided on a one-to-one basis resulting in a high quality, compassionate service that ensures an individual is able to live a fulfilling life and maintain their lifestyle choices, despite the limitations of their medical condition.

The complex conditions we care for includes, but is not limited to:

• Degenerative conditions – like dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Cancer care
• Stroke care
• Palliative care (end-of-life care)
• Post-operative health care
• Respiratory conditions – like COPD
• Congenital disease
• General frailty

The cost of live-in care for couples

Live-in care for couples is fast becoming the preferred choice when one or both of you require long term care instead of moving into a care home. If you both have different needs you could find yourselves being split up within the home, which many will find very distressing. With live-in care there is one inclusive weekly fee for providing care at the same address, with a nominal charge to provide couples care. In a care home costs can be double for two separate packages of care and accommodation, making the choice to move into a care home not as cost effective for couples.

If you require further advice about funding care please contact SOLLA, who will be able to assist you.
