We can all certainly agree that there is nothing more vexing than a houseguest who doesn’t know when it’s time to leave.
So much so that we can hardly blame you if you hold any preconceived ideas about live-in care. Goodness knows we would, too.
But, luckily, Acquaint exceeds even the expectations you might not know to have yet. Frankly, and for a myriad of reasons, we’re the houseguests you’ll wish were your housemates.
All the fuss around live-in care
You’ve worked hard to create your humble abode, and heaven knows it’s your prerogative to want to stay there.
That’s why we offer live in care to our clients. It means they can access the support they need – in the comfort of their own home.
What does this ‘live-in care’ entail?
We’re glad you asked. A dedicated carer will live in your home and (essentially) wait on you, hand and foot, around the clock, supporting your independence and security while they’re at it.
How to know if live-in care is for you
Live-in care is right for you if:
- You want to stay in your own home
- You could use a helping hand for daily tasks but want to maintain your autonomy, thank you very much
- You could do with some high-quality company
- You have a medical condition that requires ongoing monitoring or assistance
What traditional live-in care entails
Our traditional carers are on dedicated duty for eight hours at a time – with at least eight hours of dreaming duty overnight.
It’s because of their sleep that we recommend you have a small ensemble of carers to come and stay with you throughout the week. They’ll take turns working their magic, making sure you’re never without a coffee in the morning or a 12-step skincare routine in the evening.
Because of such dedication, this type of live-in care is charged in blocks rather than hourly.
What intensive live-in care entails
Need more hands-on support? Your wish is our command.
Our intensive carers are also available – with three staff working eight hours each over the course of the 24-hour day.
May you never know another moment unassisted (should you so desire).
Acquaint is the best choice for live-in home care
Oh, pish posh. Who said that?
Well, we suppose they are right, whoever they are. Because while there are plenty of private live-in care providers in Melbourne, here’s why Acquaint stands out from the crowd.
Experienced and passionate carers
Our carers are all meticulously selected based on their qualifications, experience, empathy and general allure as human beings. We can’t very well set you up with boring company, can we?
It’s due to this selection criteria that our carers can become your trusted companions, providing dignified and compassionate care and conversation, just for you.
One size does not fit all
Much like our friends at Chanel, we believe in a one-size-fits-one approach.
Your live-in carer is there to support you. Your health conditions. Your social calendar. Your Netflix catalogue.
This level of individuality ensures that when you invite Acquaint into your home, you keep living in your element.
Peace of mind for family and friends
Gosh, they worry, don’t they? Those loved ones of yours.
But when you engage Acquaint’s live-in care services, they’ll worry no more.
Live-in care provides continuous support so your family and friends can rest assured knowing you’re never alone. Unless you want to be, of course. We’re not pests.
And with our open communication, you and your chosen people can be kept informed and involved in your ongoing care, every step of the way.
Words from the wise
Thank you, Sarah, an Acquaint full-time client, for her lovely words of admiration:
‘Acquaint exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a top-notch service. The carers looking after my mother full-time are highly trained, compassionate and attentive. Their communication and responsiveness are also excellent, always keeping us informed and reassured, especially when we’re travelling. I recommend Acquaint to anyone in need of premium home care services. Five stars!’
