Integral Focus Support and Care Services enable you to have a clear choice of staying at your home with required care over moving into a care home. With our reasonably priced live-in care packages, we can offer either a weekly or monthly plan. The choice is yours.

How does it work?

You will benefit from a one to one carer who will assist you with your domestic chores, personal care, medication and your day to day tasks.

• You will benefit from a 1:1 carer who will assist you with your domestic chores, personal care, medication and your day to day tasks.
• It allows you to stay in your home and maintain your daily routine
• You will not have to face the emotional and physical disruption of your daily living by moving into a residential care home.
• Our live-in carers can provide you with companionship – someone to talk to or to play cards with.

Who is Live-in care for?

You may be frail or require more care input throughout the day, or have the tendency to wander around when left on your own.  Live-in care is your better option to moving into a care home as you wish to remain in your own home and the environment you have been for years. We understand that moving home is too stressful to handle on top of everything else.

Live-in care is for you! After all there is no place like home.

What to expect from your Integral Focus Support and Care Services? Personal Assistant

Live-in care comes into its own when, typically, someone needs a personal assistant around the house at various times of day to assist or carry out various tasks.  These may involve all aspects of care (assistance with getting up, washing, personal hygiene etc.) and general ‘housekeeping’ (cooking, cleaning, laundry, and ironing).  The need may include shopping or accompanying our clients on visits to friends, another town/city or just out for a breath of fresh air.

One of the beauties of live-in care is its flexibility.  No two days need be the same and our clients can, if they wish, choose a different agenda each day.  Obviously, not everyone may WANT to do this but the flexibility is there nonetheless.  The daily tasks of everyday living can be fulfilled by the personal assistant but he/she can also help with pastimes and activities if required.

This does not mean, however, that the personal assistant will be some ‘holiday camp entertainer’ who will take over the house and everyone within it.  Our staff are trained to be active when required but to be discreet and retiring when their presence is not needed.  In that way, our clients can relax and enjoy the comforts of their own home.

Tailor made to suit your needs

Integral Focus Support and Care Services is a small organisation and one which prides itself on a friendly family feel.  The directors are involved in the day-to-day running of the business and insist that all those receiving care are treated as ‘customers’ with all the promise of a right to quality service that this suggests. The Integral Focus Support and Care Services business model is based around the concept of “tailor made to suit your needs and outcome-based support” by which we mean that we are dedicated to ensuring the very best service for our customers and the reassurance that we will always do our utmost to ensure we deliver the service you expect and deserve.

How to start up your live-in care service

The first step is to telephone the Integral Focus Support and Care Services office on 02031500065 to arrange for an initial visit.  This is nothing more than an opportunity to ask all your questions face-to-face.  Only when you are entirely happy with the service and comfortable with instructing us, will we move to the next stage.  One of our supervisors will visit you to carry out the necessary safety assessments and to note all the details we need to go through before we start the care.  This will, of course, include start dates and any other instructions you may have for us.  We will then go and arrange for the personal assistant to arrive on the requested day.

How does the service start?

On the first day the personal assistant and the supervisor arrive at an agreed time.  The job of the supervisor at this point is to introduce the personal assistant to you, and to the way you want the job done.  After a short settling-in period the supervisor will leave you and your personal assistant to get to know each other.  But it doesn’t stop there and the supervisor will keep in contact on a regular basis to make sure that everything continues to run smoothly.
