Disability and Young Adult Live-in Support
Live-in care is not only for older people.
Adults living with physical disabilities or long-term support needs may also choose live-in support because they want assistance available while continuing to live in their own home and maintain as much independence as possible.
The person remains at the centre of decisions about their life, routines and support.
Supporting Independence
Different people want different things from a live-in arrangement.
For one person, support may mainly involve mobility and practical assistance. For another, it may include help with personal care, preparing meals, household activities, attending appointments or accessing the community.
A live-in arrangement may include agreed support with:
- Personal care & dressing
- Mobility & transfers
- Meals & shopping
- Household tasks
- Appointments
- Work or education routines
- Hobbies & social activities
- Companionship
- Accessing the community
Comfort and Compatibility
For younger adults in particular, personality and lifestyle compatibility can matter just as much as practical experience.
Grace & Goodwill carer profiles allow clients to look beyond a basic list of qualifications.
Clients can consider a carer's:
- Experience
- Biography
- Interests
- Skills
- Communication style
- Introductory video
- Availability
The client decides who they would like to consider. Where requested, Grace & Goodwill can also provide additional matching support.
