Having two caregivers means that there will always be someone supervising the client – whether it’s the middle of the afternoon or the middle of the night. The nature of live-in care means greater focus can be placed on social care and companionship. During a day a carer will spend up to an average of 12 hours with you. This time is spent carrying out household and personal care duties, whilst also ensuring that you are comfortable and entertained. Many live-in care providers work complex personality assessments into their recruitment process, this allows them to create excellent client carer matches. In contrast, individuals who receive hourly care can have minimal social interaction with their carers. Limited time to complete personal and household duties may leave little room for friendly chats, however, a person will likely have a larger team of regular carers who visit them, meaning they are able to interact with a variety of people. Depending on where you live in the country and what your housing situation is, some people are under orders to “shelter in place.” This means that people are urged not to leave their homes except for emergencies or essentials. Let’s look at some of the benefits of live-in or 24 hour care during social distancing.
Safety and Quality of Life. 24 hour live-in has specific safety protocols they must follow. These are strict guidelines to protect their clients from infections. Caregivers are invaluable in the effort to reinforce virus protection efforts for their clients. Helping clients comply with protocols. This includes hand washing, disinfecting surfaces, and maintaining 6 feet of social distance. They can also help to coordinate telehealth visits with doctors and nurses. Running errands. Keeping people safer means reducing the number of times they go into the greater community. Caregivers can go grocery shopping, pick up prescriptions and get any other needed items. Coping with social isolation. Here is where caregivers can shine. Social isolation and loneliness are a big concern during the coronavirus pandemic. This means the loss of contact with family and friends. Live-in caregivers can help older adults stay connected using Facetime, Facebook, Zoom, and other technologies. Fears and anxieties. Fear and anxiety are a normal response to this time of high stress. Many older adults rely on limited news sources for their information and much of it isn’t current or accurate. Caregivers can help soothe anxieties by keeping people up to date on virus restrictions and the reason for those restrictions. For loved ones that have memory problems, this can be a challenge.
