Couples’ Homecare North Yorkshire & Cumbria
It’s completely natural to worry about what care looks like as we age, especially if you’re in a relationship and want to stay living together for as long as possible. The thought of being separated by care needs is one of the biggest and most valid concerns later in life.
At Nuliving, we provide couples’ homecare services which allow partners to continue living together in the comfort of their home, while each receiving the individual support they require. This can be delivered in the form of daycare homecare, overnight homecare, or a blend of both.
Read on for more information, or book your free, no-obligation initial assessment by contacting your nearest Nuliving branch.
What is couples’ homecare?
Couples’ homecare is where two individuals receive tailored support and assistance while living under the same roof. This allows the couple to feel safe and secure in their familiar environment and with the person they love the most.
It is a very convenient and effective option, as it saves service users and their families from arranging separate services for each individual. It also reduces the need to move both into residential care.
At Nuliving, we provide a couples care package that ensures that partners can stay living together while receiving care at home – each receiving tailored care plans.
Why choose couples’ homecare in North Yorkshire & Cumbria with Nuliving?
Our care for couples is an ideal option when both partners begin to need extra support. Instead of being moved to a live-in care facility or physically separated, they can continue living together while receiving professional care support.
It’s very common for one partner to naturally take on the role of carer as needs increase; however, this is only a short-term solution. When both partners require care support, couples’ homecare can relieve the pressure from the caring partner while ensuring both people receive the individual support needed.
The main benefits of couples’ homecare include:
Staying together:
Couples are able to stay together under one roof, surrounded by familiar items and the home environment that they love. This can also help boost feelings of autonomy and independence.
Tailored individual support:
Each partner’s needs can be met with a personalised care plan, tailored to their needs, preferences, and routines. Care can also be adapted separately to each partner if requirements change in the future.
Companionship:
Couples carers can help service users spend quality time with one another over meals, by participating in hobbies, and arranging walks, outings, and social visits.
Family reassurance:
Relatives can gain peace of mind knowing that both of their loved ones are in safe and capable hands, without the worry of having to separate them due to care needs.
Who is couples’ homecare for?
In our experience, we find that couples’ homecare is best suited and most beneficial to:
- Couples wanting to stay living together despite different care requirements.
- Couples requiring a certain level of professional support.
- Families seeking peace of mind and reassurance.
