The ability to choose and access the best care for oneself or loved ones is significant, and deciding about senior care can be challenging. It’s all about providing personalised care that respects and honours the preferences and desires of each person. Whether it’s home care for seniors, assisted living, or another form of support, the goal is to empower individuals to make decisions about their care and live their lives to the fullest.

With our In-Home Care services, you can choose between a government-approved package or receiving care as soon as you require it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between 24-hour aged care and Live-In care?

The main difference between 24-hour aged care and live-in care lies in the caregiver’s level of support and presence. 

  • A 24-hour aged care team of caregivers is present around the clock to provide continuous care and support. The team typically consists of multiple caregivers who work in shifts to ensure someone is always available to assist with the individual’s needs.
  • Live-in care involves a single caregiver residing with the individual in their home. The caregiver is available 24/7 and assists with various activities of daily living, including personal care, medication management, meal preparation, housekeeping, and companionship. Live-in care is suitable for individuals who prefer to remain in the comfort of their homes but require ongoing support and supervision.

Ultimately, the choice between 24-hour aged care and live-in care depends on the individual’s needs, preferences, and required support level.

Care for older adults at home is well-suited for individuals with high care needs due to medical or complex conditions but only requires active care for up to 8 hours during the day. In this arrangement, the in-home caregiver stays overnight and is available if needs arise, such as help with toileting or transferring in and out of bed. This care provides peace of mind and ensures that the individual can receive assistance at night if required.

Smarter Living Choices also provides Live-in care services for people with disabilities. Instead of living in a residential facility or institution, individuals with disabilities can receive care in their homes.

Smarter Living Choices also specialises in disability care, and we ensure that our support workers have the necessary training and experience to meet the specific needs of disabled individuals.

Yes, you can still get Smarter Living Choices’ Live-In care plan, which can cater to the specific language needs of your loved one. Communication is crucial for proper care, so ensuring your loved one can communicate effectively with our support workers is essential.

Everyone’s preferences are different, and finding a living situation that aligns with your needs and expectations is crucial. With Smarter Living Choices, if you have unique live-in needs, you must communicate with us for potential living arrangements and a personalised Live-in Care Plan.

By choosing Smarter Living Choices, you can be sure that your seniors receive the care, attention, and medical expertise they require. Contact us to discuss your specific needs immediately, and we will create a personalised care plan to meet your requirements.
