My Homecare Haringey is outlining its live-in care service for adults who require continuous support but want to remain in their own homes. Based in Tottenham and serving Haringey and surrounding North London communities, the provider offers one-to-one support through a carer who lives in the client’s home.

Unlike a general description of 24-hour care, the service follows a defined onboarding process. My Homecare Haringey states that starting live-in care typically takes around two to four weeks, beginning with a home visit from a manager to assess the individual’s needs, routines and circumstances. A primary carer is then assigned to the client.

Each live-in carer is employed and managed by My Homecare and is required to be trained, experienced, insured and to have completed police and background checks. The branch also arranges a Meet and Greet before the care package begins, allowing the client and carer to meet before support starts.

One of the practical differences highlighted by My Homecare Haringey is continuity of care. Clients are assigned a primary carer, while the provider arranges replacement cover if that carer is unavailable because of illness or holiday.

The company says it aims to keep the number of different carers involved to a minimum. Clients also have a named manager who remains available for support and makes routine visits to review whether the care continues to reflect the individual’s needs.

Live-in carers can assist with personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping and companionship. For people who require additional help during the night, My Homecare Haringey also provides overnight support, including arrangements where a carer remains awake when continuous nighttime assistance is required.

Live-in care may be suitable for people whose needs have increased because of frailty, illness, disability or recovery from injury, but who would prefer to continue living in familiar surroundings rather than move into residential accommodation.

My Homecare Haringey also provides domiciliary care, respite care, personal care, medication assistance, meal preparation, overnight care, dementia support, palliative care and other specialist homecare services.

“For many people, the priority is not simply receiving more care, but being able to receive that support without giving up their home, routines and independence. Our live-in care process is designed around the individual, including careful assessment, carer matching and ongoing support from the local management team.” — Egle Sakaliene, Registered Manager, My Homecare Haringey
