When to consider help at home from a paid carer

Live-in or full day/ night shift care means a care provider will be with you in your own home, giving you the flexibility of help and support whenever you need it, day or night. You receive one-to-one care and build a relationship with your care assistant who may become your companion. You have peace of mind and will remain safe. You don't need to call out, or scheduled in, they are right there by your side, whenever you need them.
