How do different agencies vary in their approach to live-in care?

'Live-in care' typically means the care and support provided by a carer who lives with you in your home.

Are all live-in care agencies similar in their approach?

In your search for live-in care agencies, you'll encounter numerous choices online, and each operates uniquely.

At Paragon Home Healthcare, we have an array of carefully chosen and competent carers who deliver live-in care. They offer care and support throughout the day and stay with you overnight, ensuring round-the-clock reassurance.

What responsibilities do the carers have?

Our live-in care is personalized to meet your specific needs as per your care plan. This ranges from assistance with personal care and mobility to specialized services for spinal cord injuries, dementia, or neurological care. Our dedicated carers, selected and trained meticulously by our seasoned Clinical Team, are available 24/7 for advice, guidance, and on-field support.

How many carers will be assigned, and can I choose them?

Typically, clients in need of live-in care have a team of two carers who each stay for several weeks (based on what's best for the client) before swapping roles. We coordinate the care and working hours, so a visiting carer isn't necessary to provide relief for the live-in carer during their break. This minimizes the number of different people you interact with.

Clients are actively involved in the carer selection process through meet-and-greet sessions to ensure they are comfortable communicating and spending time with their carers. When it's time for a carer to hand over duties, we ensure a seamless transition so that the incoming staff is well briefed and ready. We strive to create minimal disruption during staff transitions.
