About The Oyster Live in Care Company
The Oyster Live in Care Company arranges live in care for people in and around Maidenhead and Slough. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, and with people who have physical disabilities. Live in care suits people who need more than a few visits a day but have no wish to leave home. A carer lives in the house, so support is there when it is actually needed rather than at fixed times, and the routine of the household can stay largely as it was. For couples it often means staying together when one person needs a great deal of help and the other does not. Getting the match right matters more than anything else in this kind of arrangement, because somebody is sharing a home. We take time over it, we introduce people properly rather than simply sending whoever is free, and we will change the arrangement if it is not working. We agree the plan with the person and their family before anything starts and write it down plainly, covering the practical care, the household routine and the things that matter to somebody socially. We are honest about when live in care is not the right answer. Please get in touch if you would like to talk it through without any obligation.
