What is Live-In Care for Young Adults?
Typically, live-in care is an alternative to moving into a care or nursing home. Many people will consider live-in care for their elderly parents when weighing up residential care options. However, live-in care isn’t just for the elderly. For young adults, a live-in carer provides the independence and freedom to live in your own home, enjoying life whilst getting the support your may need around the clock.

Why choose live-in care over residential homes for young adults?
For some young people, 24-hour care is essential, however, some may struggle in the busy, shared environment of a residential care home, where others may cause disruption. Alternatively, of course, it may be that residential care homes for young adults don’t provide enough flexibility and personalisation of care required. Live-in care allows for personalised, round-the-clock care in your own space. This can allow to continue to live in your own home (or family home or university accommodation) to enjoy hobbies, work or continue education without worrying that your carers attention will be pulled away by someone else.
Why choose live-in care over supported living for young adults?
Supported living for young adults refers to living at home alone, or with family, and receiving visits from carers. This could be one daily visit, or several a day as per the individual needs. This however may not be enough for some individuals, whose condition may require more consistent, round-the-clock care. This is where live-in care is perfect, ensuring that individuals needing 24-hour care are catered for, more so than supported living. If you think however that daily visits are enough, let us know, and we can advise if your homecare division can help in your area.
