Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What is traditional live in care?
Traditional live in care is the right choice for people who need full time support but want to stay in the comfort of their own home. Whether you are currently receiving home care and need something more consistent, or leaving hospital and want to return home safely, this service offers the help you need without the upheaval of moving into a care home.
A live in care worker lives with you in your home and provides one to one support that is completely tailored to you. From personal care to help around the house, medication reminders to support getting out and about, we are here to help you live as independently as possible while knowing someone is always there.
02What is fully managed live in care?
Fully managed live in care means we take care of everything for you. We employ and train all of our care workers, match you with someone who suits your needs, and provide ongoing support through your dedicated care coordinator.
Unlike introductory agencies, we do not just connect you with a self employed carer and leave you to manage it all. We are by your side from day one, with a free, no obligation assessment to help us create a plan that truly reflects what you need. From there, we carefully match you with a care worker and make sure you feel fully supported.
If your carer ever takes time off or is unwell, we will make sure you are never left without care. You will also have access to our 24 hour emergency line for extra peace of mind. As a fully regulated provider rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, you can trust that you are in safe hands.
03How do I arrange traditional live in care?
We understand how overwhelming it can feel to take that first step. That is why our care advisors take the time to listen and learn about you — your needs, your preferences and your daily life.
Once you reach out, we will walk with you through every stage of the process. We will talk through our full range of care services, including live-in care, supported living and home care, and help you find the option that is right for you. From there, we will arrange a free, no obligation care assessment and match you with a live-in care worker who fits your needs.
Your care worker will move into your home with you, and you will need to have a spare room available. They will be there to help with your daily routine and offer compassionate support whenever you need it.
Your friends and family can visit as often as they like, and your care worker will be happy to help you get out and about, attend appointments or enjoy social activities.
Call our friendly care team when you are ready to begin — we will take care of the rest.
04How much does traditional live in care cost?
At Retons Care, we believe high quality care should be affordable for everyone. That is why we offer some of the lowest rates on the market — and we are happy to match quotes to make sure you are getting the best value without sacrificing the quality of support.
Our care plans are tailored to each person, so the cost will depend on your specific needs and the level of care required. We offer a free care assessment to guide you through your options and create a plan that works for you.
Speak to our team today to learn more about how we can help.
05What is included in our traditional live in care service?
No two people are the same — so no two care plans should be either. Your live in care worker will support you with exactly what you need, in a way that fits naturally into your daily life.
As part of our premium service, we also include a range of thoughtful extras that can make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. These include:
- Support getting out and about
- Gardening assistance
- Medication collection
- Pet care
- Help with appointments and liaising with professionals
- Shopping and errands
You will always have someone by your side who is there to help, to listen and to make your day just a little brighter.
06Is traditional live in care suitable if I need specialist care?
Yes, absolutely. Our live in care team supports people living with a wide range of conditions including dementia, Parkinson’s, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, palliative needs and more.
We will match you with a care worker who understands your condition and knows how to provide the right level of support. Our clinical leads oversee care plans to make sure every aspect of your wellbeing is looked after — especially where more complex care is involved.
With Retons Care, you can feel confident knowing your care is in experienced and compassionate hands.
