<p>Planning your care and support can be a daunting prospect, but getting it right will make a huge difference to your quality of life. Choosing the right care can also help your budget go further. Live-in care is becoming an increasingly popular option for people, particularly those who need constant support. To help make this decision we have set out some of the benefits and challenges which you should consider if you are considering this option.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is live-in more cost effective?</h2>

<p>The cost of live-in care ranges from £950 – £1,000 per week, depending on your needs, which is about the same as 50 hours of care throughout the week if buying by the hour. There are 168 hours in a week so if you needed constant support throughout the day and night then live-in care is probably more cost effective for you. However, if you just wanted someone to come for a few hours per day, then paying by the hour for standard home care is more cost effective.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is your home adequate?</h2>

<p>A consideration for live-in care is whether there is enough space for another person to live in your home. There needs to be a separate bedroom with a comfortable bed, ideally with a TV and internet connection.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do you want someone living in your home?</h2>

<p>Having someone living with you permanently can be quite an adjustment, particularly if you have been living on your own independently for some time. However the carer should be seen as a companion while you go about your daily life. You won’t need them around all the time so there will be times when you will be in separate rooms, or in the garden while your carer is in the house. It is important to carefully choose your live-in carer to ensure they most closely match your personality and interests, your carer might become your best friend!   </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Peace of mind</h2>

<p>Live in care provides peace of mind for you, and your family, that someone is there to support you at all times. This includes supporting your practical health and care needs as well providing companionship.</p>

<p>If you would like any more information on live in care please contact our main office and we would be glad to answer any questions.</p>

<p>One of the great challenges for many people following discharge from hospital is returning to the level of independence that they once enjoyed. This is often a slow and challenging process, although it obviously depends on the seriousness of the injury or illness that the person is recovering from.</p>

<p>Many of us set very high expectations for ourselves, which can be both helpful and counterproductive. Having high expectations can be very motivating, driving individuals forward towards their goals. However, if progress seems slow or is perceived to have stopped it can be very frustrating, with that frustration in turn often hampering the very recovery process that is being strived for.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reablement</h2>

<p>One of the most important aspects of home care provision for people looking to return to independence after treatment in hospital is known as ‘reablement’. The principle of reablement is to help someone ‘do for themselves’ rather than simply ‘doing for them’, with the aim being to regain day-to-day living skills. Reablement sometimes works alongside the more well-known practice of rehabilitation, which is usually formulated around a personalised exercise programme that helps an individual to build up their physical strengths.</p>

<p>At its heart, reablement encourages people to return to independence more quickly, with support that follows a programme of goals which are established before the support starts and are set against time frames. So for example: By week two, Mrs Smith should be washing and dressing independently.</p>

<p>The role of home care workers is to follow up the aims of the programme, monitoring an individual’s progress and making adjustments where necessary. Consistent home care support that enables individuals going through reablement to form positive relationships with care workers can also help immensely with motivation and encouragement, reducing feelings of frustration or failure.</p>

<p>Reablement in this format is a term, and a service, many people are yet to appreciate the full value of. Not only have reablement programmes proven to be hugely successful in returning people to full independence, they also lie at the heart of reducing dependency on the NHS and social care services.</p>

<p>Healthvision are proud to be a preferred provider for Westminster City Council’s Reablement Service. This service specialises in rehabilitating people following accident or injury, often following hospital discharge.

<p>With an increasing prevalence in the cases of dementia there is a nationwide drive to educate society on the early symptoms of the disease. Early diagnosis is a key factor in slowing down the rate of decline for people with dementia, with drug treatment far more effective in the early stages of the disease.</p>

<p>We have outlined below some of the most common symptoms of the disease.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Short-term memory struggles</strong></h2>

<p>Being able to vividly remember events from decades ago, but struggling to remember what they had for lunch, can be an early sign of dementia. As can regularly forgetting why you entered a room, or where you left your keys (although these are not sure-fire signs of dementia, as of course, we all lose our keys from time to time).</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Trouble following stories</strong></h2>

<p>If someone is struggling to follow the plot of a programme they usually enjoy, or can’t recognise how a film has been developing, they may be exhibiting dementia-like symptoms.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Communication and confusion</strong></h2>

<p>Showing signs of confusion, from forgetting faces and names of people they know well, to regularly misplacing things, may indicate the early stages of dementia. Communication issues are also a key problem, so a potential sufferer could find it difficult to think of the right word to use in a sentence, or are unable to verbally express how they are feeling or thinking, which can be very frustrating.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mood swings</strong></h2>

<p>Dementia can affect a person’s ability to judge a situation, so someone who might usually be considered a wallflower, may suddenly start behaving in a much more extravert way, while depression can also be a key early sign of the condition.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Listlessness</strong></h2>

<p>Feeling apathetic about spending time with loved ones, or engaging in hobbies and activities that they have always been interested in doing, can indicate the onset of dementia.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Being repetitive</strong></h2>

<p>Dementia suffers will ask the same questions several times during one conversation. They will also repeat the same stories or give the same biographical detail every time you meet. They will repeat daily tasks unnecessarily, like making the bed or brushing their teeth.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Loss of sense of direction</strong></h2>

<p>Losing their sense of direction and spatial awareness is common in people living with dementia. They will often be unable to recognise landmarks and get lost during simple journeys, such as to and from the local shops. Confusion about which house they live in is also common.</p>

<p>If you can identify any of these traits in yourself, or anyone you know, we recommend consulting with your GP. There are many treatments to help people with dementia, however it is important to have an early diagnosis.</p>
