About Ideal Live in Care
We are Ideal Live in Care, based in Manchester, and we arrange live in support for older people and for younger adults who need help throughout the day rather than in short visits. Live in care suits people for whom a handful of calls a day is not enough, but who have no wish at all to leave their own home. Having somebody in the house means help is there when it is needed rather than at fixed times, and it means the day can follow the person's own pattern: getting up when they wake, eating when they are hungry, going out when the weather suits. It also means company, which for somebody living alone can matter as much as the practical help. We take matching seriously, because a live in arrangement is a shared household and not a shift. We want to know about temperament, interests, routines and what would grate, as well as the care itself. Before anything starts, we agree with the person and their family what the support is actually for, and we keep reviewing it, since needs change and so do preferences. Support usually covers personal care, medication, cooking, housekeeping, help getting safely about, shopping and appointments, and being alongside somebody rather than watching over them. We have not yet had an overall rating published by the Care Quality Commission. We prefer to tell you that ourselves, and we are glad to answer any question about how we recruit and supervise our carers.
