Stay Together in the Home You’ve Built
Couples care in your own home enables you to stay with your loved one and also retain control of your independence and daily routine. You can also benefit from staying close to pets and other loved ones, rather than having to relocate to a new area.
Couple care is often needed because one partner requires more support than the other can provide. Whether you require a live-in carer to assist with ongoing complex conditions for one or both of your couple, Country Cousins can adapt your care plan to ensure you remain in the comfort of home, surrounded by what you love most.
What Does a Country Cousins Carer Do For You?
Whether we’re providing care for older couples when daily tasks become too difficult to manage, or a partner has developed a long-term illness who requires more regular professional care, our team of Country Cousins offer the perfect solution.
Our care plans are tailored to each client, taking into account their individual and shared needs.
This might include:
- Help with morning and evening routines, including getting dressed, toileting and all aspects of hygiene
- Moving you around the house safely to help avoid any falls
- Reminding to take medication and collecting prescriptions
- Assistance with daily chores, including tidying, cleaning and shopping for essentials
- Preparing and cooking delicious and nutritious meals
- Pet care, including walks and food preparation
How Much Does Care For Couples Cost?
The price of a care home can quickly add up, with individuals paying upwards of £4,000 per month, with specialist care costing even more. Alongside the price, moving to a care home also brings about a significant change to daily routines. However, Country Cousins’ experienced carers provide a better, cost-effective solution.
Hiring a live-in carer offers better value for providing assistance and care for couples. The costs for our care services vary depending on the type and level of support needed. However, with live-in care for couples starting from £924 per week, you can be assured that it offers a more affordable alternative to residential care provision.
More Cost-Effective Than a Care Home
Couple care at home provides you with a service that works for you at a cheaper rate in comparison to moving into a residential home. Instead of the hefty cost of two separate rooms in a care home, a single carer, or more if needed, can be matched specifically to your needs to offer support in the comfort of your home.
How We Match Couples to Live-In Carers
When matching couples to potential carers, we consider:
- Both your care needs, such as if either of you needs manual handling, complex care or 24/7 support
- Location, where possible, we will always send you a carer local to you
- Interests to share with carers, such as a shared love of cooking, gardening, and pets
- Other requirements, including having a busy social calendar and needing someone who can get you to your appointments on time
We pay attention to the smallest details because they often make the biggest difference.
