The Value of Live-In Care
It is impossible for a care home to have the same value as live-in care, as there is no chance that a care home can provide you or your loved one with the specific one-to-one care assistance that you require in the same way a full time carer could.
It’s not all about the cost of live-in care, but how beneficial a full time carer could be to your health and your wellbeing, with the added factor that you will be able to receive support in your own home, surrounded by those that love you.
