Dementia Live in Care
Dementia live-in care offers round-the-clock, personalised support for you or your loved one, all within the comfort of your own home. At PillarCare, we understand that dementia care is deeply personal and requires an understanding of each individual’s unique needs. The unique challenge around supporting someone with dementia is that whilst they may not require support all of the time, they could require support at any time.
We prioritise hiring experienced carers who are well-versed in the delicate nature of dementia care and recognise behaviours that may require dementia-friendly solutions, ensuring that you or your loved one receives the most appropriate and compassionate care. Our management team is well equipped to handle any situation or development as a result of our client’s dementia and will not treat it as just some natural progression, but make sure that at every step we are reassessing what we can do as a team to support our carers to provide our clients with the highest standard of living.
Respite Care
“You need to look after yourself before you can look after others”. This is one of the biggest truths in the care industry and sometimes one of the biggest challenges. It is important that any primary carer, whether paid or unpaid, is able to get some rest and recovery from what is essentially a full-time job. That is where respite live-in care comes in.
Respite live-in care ensures that the client continues to receive the same level of care and attentive support that they would receive from their primary carer. At PillarCare, our flexible short-term packages are designed specifically with this in mind -. We understand that transitioning to respite care needs to be as smooth as possible, so we take the time to listen to your needs and ensure the change causes minimal disruption. We make sure that All of our respite care packages receive the same level of attention and commitment as all of our long-term care clients. You will have a full care -assessment before the package begins and our care management team will be just as effective in our support for you. Whether it’s after an accident, hospital discharge, surgery recovery, or covering for a regular carer, we’re here to provide the support your loved one needs in any situation
Convalescent care
Convalescent live in care is a care that helps people to recover after a serious illness, surgery, or an extended hospital stay. You are medically fit to come home but there is often a period of rehabilitation to get you back on your feet and where you were before you went into hospital.
It is important that you try to do as much as you can when you get home but there is a high chance that you may have forgotten about some task or chore that you do now and then that is just not possible until you are fully recovered. So, you need to have care in place that is adaptable, that can be subject to change if required. At PillarCare, we make sure that your live-in care is flexible around your needs and our management team is responsive to changes as they come.
Also, you will need much more care when you first come out of hospital and as time progresses, you will slowly recover and regain your independence. Then towards the end of the care package, you should hopefully be fully recovered and no longer require support on a daily basis.
This type of care often includes medical monitoring, physiotherapy, and help with daily tasks to ensure a comfortable and safe recovery process. All of our carers are fully trained to perform these duties, and our expert management team will liaise with your doctors and any outpatient health professionals who are overseeing your recovery. This allows you to focus on what is most important: getting better.
Companionship Live in Care
In 2021, 3.3 million people aged 65 years and over were living alone. This is over 30% of the elderly population. For many of them, this is not by choice and the loneliness, especially for a widower, can be one of the hardest times of their lives. Companionship live-in care can change that.
The Live-in care we provide goes beyond supporting you or your loved one after a hospital stay or addressing physical needs. There are times when simply having a compassionate companion to assist with daily chores can make all the difference. We understand that caring for a loved one involves much more than personal care—everyday household tasks and responsibilities also need to be managed. Balancing these tasks can be challenging in today’s busy world, where time is precious and families may live far apart. We’re here to help ease that burden.
That’s why all our live-in care packages come with a concierge service to ease the burden of managing these everyday tasks. We offer a wide range of personalised services to suit the individual needs of our clients. This includes, but isn’t limited to:
- booking medical appointments,
- organising weekly shopping,
- helping you access local events,
- arranging tradespeople for repairs,
- and even planning travel, whether it’s for essential trips or a well-deserved holiday.
Our goal is to make the care journey as smooth as possible for your loved one, giving families peace of mind and ensuring that all aspects of life are taken care of.
