Live In Care

Live in home care for seniors and 24 Hour Care may sound similar, but there are some key differences. Lived in care is when a care worker visits and sleeps overnight in your loved one’s home. This means they are on hand to support you through the night if you need help (e.g. toileting, transferring in and out of bed). This type of care suits for those who generally sleep through the night, and may need care at irregular times.

24 Hour Care is round the clock care over a 24-hour period, usually provided by a team of care workers and nurses who share the workload. They provide care in shifts, so you can be supported continuously.

If you are eligible, the cost of care can be funded through your Home Care Package. A Home Care Package is a government-funded program that allows older people to receive care services in their own home, so they can live independently for as long as possible. Once you have received a package, you can choose a care provider you like. You then work with them to create a care plan and suite of services that best meets your needs. The government then pays that provider a subsidy to deliver services in your home.

Senior live in care is available through a Home Care Package, depending on what level of care you are approved for. Home Caring provides live in home care in a cost effective way without compromising on quality, making good use of your funding so that nothing is wasted. For more information on how to apply for a Home Care Package, see here on our website.

Live in elderly care is suitable for someone has high care needs – perhaps due to a medical condition or complex conditions – but only need active care for up to 8 hours during the day. The in home carer sleeps through the night so they are available if needs arise, such as help with toileting, or transferring in and out of bed.

Helping your loved one make informed choices about their care can be hard, especially if require a large amount of care for their needs. Start by talking to them about what they want. Would they like to stay at home or move into an aged care facility? What services are most important to them? What kind of support do they need to stay independent?

If they have high care needs, one option is live in care for elderly people. If they aren’t receiving government-funded aged care, you can start the process together.

It takes about 20 minutes of your time. Once your loved one has applied (or you have done so on their behalf), your local ACAT assessor will be in touch to arrange a free face-to-face assessment at home. You can be with them for the entire process.

Once your loved one has been approved for government aged care funding, it’s time to starting looking for a home care provider that meets their needs. As you explore your options, you’ll have an opportunity to meet the care team, ask any questions you have, and see if they are a good fit for the person receiving care.
