Complex Care at Home - 24 Hour Live In Care for Complex Needs (CN)
"The realization that a beloved family member requires continuous care due to complex needs, the worries and concerns that arise can be overwhelming"
Until recently the solution to complex care needs was a Care Home. This was despite the fact that most of us would rather stay in our own homes.
With our NEW 24 Home Care regulated, registered service you can! It's about believing in those people who need help living at home. And it's what we set out to do - Every Day!
Family members and even friends who become “ carers of necessity” might grapple with feelings of inadequacy as they strive to provide the necessary care and assistance their loved ones require.
Despite common perceptions, the notion that relocating to a care facility is the sole solution for long-term care needs is far from accurate. The growing preference for live-in care is reshaping the landscape for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their cherished homes while receiving essential care and support".
At the heart of this transformation to 24 Hour Care in your own home, is Good Companions (Cumbria), a newly introduced service dedicated to addressing the intricate care needs of individuals. With a focus on complex care, this service aims to provide tailored assistance to people facing various challenges. Acknowledging the impact on families, the Good Companions (Cumbria) service aims to alleviate concerns and enhance the well-being of both the care recipients and their caregivers - providing peace of mind to both.
Our mission centres around creating a sense of security and happiness within the familiar surroundings of one's home and community.

Live-In Care vs. Care Homes: Exploring the Advantages
When it comes to choosing the best care option for yourself or a loved one, there's a lot to consider. Two popular choices are live-in care and care homes. In this article, we'll delve into the benefits of opting for live-in care over a traditional care home, highlighting the unique advantages that can make a significant difference in quality of life.
1. Personalized 24/7 Care and Support
Live-in care provides an unparalleled level of one-to-one attention. Unlike care homes, where resources are spread thin among residents, a dedicated carer is always present, offering round-the-clock support tailored to individual needs.
2. Tailored Care Plans for Enhanced Freedom
In a care home, fixed schedules and routines are the norm. With live-in care, a bespoke care plan is crafted to match your specific requirements while respecting your preferred way of life. This flexibility ensures that your daily routine remains largely unaffected.
3. Specialized Care in the Comfort of Home
For individuals dealing with complex conditions like dementia, familiar surroundings and routines are crucial. Live-in carers are highly trained to provide specialized assistance within the comfort of your own home, offering a sense of stability that can greatly benefit those with such conditions.
4. Cherished Home and Belongings
The emotional attachment to one's home is undeniable. Live-in care allows you to stay in your beloved home, preserving precious memories and possessions. This also avoids the emotional strain of relocating to a care home and eliminates the need to sell the family home to cover care expenses.
5. Pet-Friendly Care
Unlike care homes, live-in care accommodates your furry companions. If you have a beloved pet, your live-in carer can assist with pet care and even take your dog for walks, ensuring that your pet remains an integral part of your life.
6. Holistic Wellbeing and Peace of Mind
Opting for live-in care promotes overall health and wellbeing. It brings peace of mind not only to the person receiving care but also to their family members who can rest assured that their loved one is receiving personalized attention in the comfort of their home.
7. Comparable Costs with Added Value
Contrary to common belief, live-in care costs are comparable to care home expenses. In fact, for couples, live-in care can be considerably more cost-effective than paying for two separate care home rooms.
8. Uninterrupted Togetherness for Couples
For elderly couples in need of care, live-in care provides the unique advantage of allowing them to stay together. Unlike care homes that may separate partners into different areas, live-in care supports the continuation of their loving companionship.
9. Remaining Part of the Community
Living at home means staying connected to the community you've been a part of for many years. You can continue enjoying the local amenities and social connections that contribute to your sense of belonging.
In conclusion, the benefits of live-in care are evident across various aspects of life. From personalized attention and specialized care to maintaining cherished routines and connections, live-in care offers a holistic and flexible approach to caregiving that can greatly enhance the quality of life for individuals and couples alike. It's a choice that prioritizes comfort, companionship, and familiarity, making it a worthy consideration when deciding on the best care option.
