Live In Aged Care Services in Melbourne
You’ll have a small team of private carers that live in your home over the course of a week. This traditional type of live in care is charged in blocks rather than an hourly rate.
Live in home care
Many clients have our live in care services at home and manage with one carer over a 24 hour period and carers may work a couple of days in a row. Ideally, you’ll have a small team of carers that come and live with you over the course of a week. This traditional type of live in care is charged in blocks rather than hourly.
In other instances or if your care needs change and one carer would not get enough rest over 24 hours, we’d need to provide care under different arrangements. Intensive or active live in aged care is where we allocate teams of carers to be on hand for active care every eight hours.
Our live in home care services are available on an ongoing basis or for short periods while you recover from an illness or operation. Our live in carers support you to stay in your element in the comfort of your home by assisting with medication management, health monitoring, light housekeeping, personal care and more.
