Short Term Live In Care
Short term home care for elderly refers to the type of live-in care service that has a specific outcome in mind. Short-term care is hired for a certain time with specified job description and duties till a certain level or outcome is reached. It is also explicitly known by the name of respite care.
Short-term care service can be hired for a variety of reasons. It can be employed for a sudden emergency such as an accident or an injury. The short-term care stays till the patient gets healed and cured fully. Short term care may also be hired as respite care. For instance, if you are permanently occupied taking care of a patient with long-term illness, respite care service can help you get rid of the care burnout. Or if some other business comes up, you can use short term care to take a break.
A long-term caregiver may have been hired for any of the following long-term illnesses:
- Cancer
- Alzheimer’s or dementia
- A brain injury and associated disability
- Blindness
- Congenital disorder or a syndrome
For a temporary halt such as an overnight care service or 24-hours home care, short-term or respite care can be used.
There are different types of short term care for the elderly. It can be hired at home, at adult day centres or programs, or respite care facilities.
Specialized Short-term Care Service
Short-term care must be a caregiver who specializes in the specific field of care. For instance, for a patient with Alzheimer’s, you can hire a caregiver for 12 hours, but he has to be knowledgeable, experienced, and sufficiently aware to take care of the patient well.
Live-in Care Direct has a large community of caregivers, each specializing in his field of care. You can rest assured by checking their previous record, qualifications, experience, and professional references. And you can hire any one of them for a short-term care period.
A caregiver hired for a particular purpose, with a defined set of job details and instructions, has been trained to deal with the client with patience and understanding. Almost invariably, short term care mostly includes:
Light housekeeping tasks
Making and changing beds, groceries, running errands, or the specific job instruction if it includes housekeeping tasks as well.
Personal care
Bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, in addition to taking care of the medication schedule and doctor’s appointments
Companionship
You can hire a short-term caregiver for a loved one if you are away for a while. Companionship carers provide emotional support and therapy, healthy conversations, and company in exercise and social interaction.
