What is Live-in care?
A professionally trained Caregiver lives with you in your own home to provide full-time caregivers whenever you need it. Live-in care is a wonderful, welcome alternative to residential care. No upheaval, no disruption and allows you to be independent, stay close to friends and family, keep pets and maintain all your hobbies.
Live-in care usually includes personal care, (washing, dressing, supporting morning and night-time routines), supervision of medication, helping with jobs around the house, cleaning, laundry, cooking and of course companionship.
With live-in care, a compassionate Temal Healthcare Caregiver will move into your home to provide you with round the clock assistance whenever you need it. We carefully select a Caregiver who will suit your personality and lifestyle so you can develop a good therapeutic relationship that can spearhead best care provision.

-
Consistency of Care: We assign the same caregivers to maximize comfort and relief.
-
Reduced Risk: Our live-in caregivers only work with one client at a time, so that they are able to notice any changes in presentations and any risks of a possible stroke or health complication before they become critical.
-
Maximum Professionalism: Temal Healthcare caregivers are trained to work in a professional manner providing privacy and dignity to service users and following organisation's policies, regulations and procedures in line with the Care Quality Commission.

Quality Caregivers: We run background checks on all our potential caregivers. All our staff undergo an intensive training programme and a probation period to insure good quality care provision.
Our highly trained live-in Caregivers can provide both personal care and more practical and domestic support, including housekeeping tasks. We begin by visiting you at home and talking over what are your individual preferences and choices, before matching you with someone who has the right skills and qualities to ensure you get the best quality care in the comfort of your home. We conduct a comprehensive selection of our Caregivers through a vetting process on all staff including enhanced DBS certificate, right to work in the UK and full reference checks.
