Live-in Care in Lurgan and the Surrounding Area
MUNTAK Care Services provides live-in care in Lurgan and across the Craigavon area, so you or your loved one can receive round-the-clock support without leaving home. With live-in care, a dedicated carer lives in the home and is on hand day and night, providing personal care, companionship and help with everyday life. For many families it is a warm, one-to-one alternative to moving into a care home.
What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a carer lives in your home and provides support around the clock. Rather than a series of short visits through the day, you have one dedicated carer who is there to help whenever you need it, from first thing in the morning to settling down at night.
It is a way of getting the full-time support that might otherwise mean a care home, while staying in the comfort and familiarity of your own home, with your own routine, your own bed and, if you have them, your own pets close by.
What live-in care includes
Your carer provides genuine round-the-clock support, tailored to you. That typically includes:
Personal Care
Personal care such as washing, dressing and help with mobility, at any time of day or night
Meal Support
Meal preparation and support with eating and nutrition
Medication
Medication prompting and administration
Household Help
Help with everyday domestic tasks around the home
Companionship
Companionship, conversation and a reassuring presence day and night
Community Support
Support to get out and about, to appointments, the shops or simply for some fresh air
Wellbeing & Safety
Monitoring of wellbeing, with safeguarding and safety built in
Live-in care or a care home?
Choosing between live-in care and a care home is a big decision, and the right answer is different for every family. Live-in care appeals to many people because it lets them stay where they feel most comfortable while still receiving full-time support. With live-in care:
- you stay in your own home, surrounded by familiar things and memories
- you receive one-to-one care, rather than sharing staff with many other residents
- your routine is yours, from when you wake to what you eat and when
- couples can stay together at home rather than risk being separated
- pets can stay where they belong, by your side
A care home is the right choice for some people, and we will always be honest about that. But if staying at home matters to you, live-in care is well worth considering.
Who is live-in care for?
Live-in care suits people who need more than occasional visits, including those who:
- need support throughout the day and night to stay safe and well
- are becoming frail or less mobile and would find a care home daunting
- are leaving hospital and need full-time support during recovery
- want to remain in their own home for as long as possible
- have a partner who also needs support, so the couple can stay together
