Live In Care

Brightening your world with live-in care

Many forms of healthcare have been significantly impacted by the unprecedented health situation we face through the spread of Coronavirus. In these uncertain times, live-in care has proved to be one of the strictest, safest care options – as a caring companion lives with you in your home.

As you and your carer can self-isolate together during quarantine, this significantly reduces the risk of transmission through person-to-person contact. When compared with the likes of a care home, there is much more control over a number of risk factors that can help you stay safe at home. 

MCW COVID-19 Policy

With My Care World, our policy is to:

• Follow all the latest government guidance.
• Continuous improvement for our business continuity and COVID-19 plan.
• Work together with the United Kingdom Home care Association (UKHCA), local care associations and our local health and social care partners to ensure our processes remain as safe as possible. 
• Be transparent and communicate regularly with our clients, employees and wider stakeholders.

Live-in Care – the safest form of care throughout COVID-19

My Care World as a agency, our live-in care services bring a caring companion into your life. The carer will live in your home with you and provide bespoke one-to-one care on a personal level.

What is live-in care?

As you get older, everyone knows how important it is for you to maintain your independence and to keep enjoying the things you have always done.

With our staff here at My Care World, you can stay in your own home spending your time doing the things you’ve always loved instead of having to do the mundane everyday chores that life requires! My World Carers can offer an extra set of hands around the house, assisting you with gardening or cooking, help you with personal tasks like bathing and dressing and drive you to appointments, social engagements… and more!

Living In Care explained

Live-in care provides one-to-one, around the clock support within the comfort of your own home. It significantly reduces interactions between people compared to care homes and effectively enables self-isolation and shielding. Live-in care enables the most vulnerable to be safe in their own home throughout this crisis.

Reasons to choose Live-in Care

Live-in care is a safe and cost-effective alternative to a care home, at a time when the risks of cross-transmission within care and nursing homes are becoming a great concern. With My Care World, we are able to provide a single or rotating live-in care worker which mitigates these risks at a comparable price to a nursing home bed.

Our live-in care services are an easy and ready-made solution. My Care World understands how important it is for a person to maintain their independence, usual routines, and lifestyle. Live-in care allows the most vulnerable to be cared for within the comfort of their own home – a solution that has no upheaval and no disruption.

We at My Care World, carefully match clients to carers with our exclusive MatchCare service and provide a bespoke My Care Profile tailored specifically to you. This plan takes into account the client’s needs, routine, personality, social preferences, medical needs and favourite activities. We simply make home life easier, safer and more enjoyable.

What Live In Carers Do For You

A My World Carer lives with you in your own home so that you have round the clock support how and when you need it. Having a My World Carer is an excellent, cost effective alternative to a care home or other residential accommodation.

Who is live-in care for?

In a recent poll 97% of people stated that they would prefer to remain in their own home than move into a residential care home.  Live-in care enables just that.  There are many situations where live-in care may be suitable whether you require companionship, assistance with personal care or have more intensive needs which require specialist care.

“We know that most people want to live in their own homes, amongst family, friends and community for as long as possible live-in homecare offers people the real option of doing just that.”

Bridget Warr, chief executive, UKHCA
