Client Testimonials

“Mumby’s have provided live-in care to my elderly parents these past six months. We have been so impressed at the professionalism and kindness of Mumby’s carers. Clearly, they are very well trained for their roles, but is it their sensitive approach during difficult moments that really stands out. This is matched by a very impressive administration/management team for whom nothing is too much trouble. We recommend Mumby’s without reservation.”
“Actually tremendously helpful. My father is particularly difficult with increasing dementia issues. The team helped me navigate through these testing times. The manager and her team have the patience of saints!”
“When my mum descended suddenly and unexpectedly into Alzheimer’s, with no family living nearby, we tried to manage with daily visits from a care organisation, but this soon became insufficient. Luckily we found Mumby’s Live-in Care, and have been matched with a lovely lady who takes great care of my mum and it has taken such a terrible weight and anxiety off our shoulders. We are able to see our mum without the stress of being carers ourselves, while knowing that she is safe, eating well, and being looked after. Nothing will take away the terrible situation, but Mumby’s have made it easier to manage.”
“I was extremely worried when I came out of hospital, as I was living on my own and my ability to move around was greatly minimised. But I need not have worried because my carer was lovely, cooking great meals and generally looking after me. I got a glowing letter from the consultant during my 6-week check-up and that was thanks to my carer making me do the exercises.”
“I have just been magnificently looked after for five weeks following an accident whilst on holiday. So too have my two dogs. We three shall miss the carer.”
“My father is receiving exemplary care. He is treated more as the carer’s relative than as a patient. She has quickly established his trust and he is experiencing a better quality of life than before hospital with daily walks, exercises, lots of music and talking.”
“It was a pleasure to be cared for by a Mumby’s carer while my husband was in Italy. She had a lovely personality, nothing was too much trouble for her and her main focus was on keeping me safe and preventing me from doing anything which might have led to an accident. Her cooking skills are good, and she was happy to help me with cooking.”
“Mumby’s Live-In Care have been fantastic. On really short notice they were able to comfort us by providing care for Mum the moment she was discharged into palliative care at home. All the carers we have worked with have been superb, friendly, kind and professional.”
“My elderly parents have been very well cared for by Mumby’s for the past 2 and a half years. Mumby’s is a professional yet compassionate care agency with a knowledgeable, kind and very patient management team.”

What is Live-in Care?

Learn why live-in care is the most viable long-term alternative and preferred care option

The option of live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to moving into a care home. When asked, most people say they want to stay in their homes when they get older. Live-in care makes this possible. It offers safe, dignified, and happy care that is value for money.

• Consistent one-to-one care and companionship

• Continue to live in the familiarity and comfort of your home

• Flexible and personalised care plan with specialised care options

• Round-the-clock (24/7) for peace of mind

• A vetted carer you can trust

• Carer matched to your needs, personality and interests

• More affordable than you think

• A truly personal service

• Protects independence, dignity and choice

• Preserves family life

• Keeps your pets at home with you

• Supports relationships and pastimes in your local community

Live-in Care is a popular care option for anyone who wishes to receive the care and support they need to remain independent in their own home.

Situations for live-in care include:

• When round-the-clock care or assistance with daily activities (such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and feeding) is needed to continue to live well at home

• Short-term recovery from accidents, illnesses, and surgery respite or additional care for struggling family carers

• Ongoing care for chronic conditions such as dementia

• End-of-life or palliative care

Our live-in care support is an affordable alternative to a nursing or care home.

If living independently has become unsafe, challenging, or isolating then it may be time to consider a live-in carer. It is the perfect solution for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their own home where they are relaxed and can live independently.

We encourage choice and respect the dignity of our clients, whilst being on hand to offer high-level professional support. Having care provided in your own home enables safety, feeling in control, and above all remaining in a homely environment. Live-in carers work to the schedule of your home and understand the nature of the role. Support is provided for you and your carer with our phone line in operation 24/7.

Live-in care brings many additional benefits than just the practicalities. A live-in carer will become a friend who offers emotional support and who really thinks about what your loved one enjoys and helps make this happen. It could be preparing a favourite dish that your loved one hasn’t had for a long time, taking them out to choose things themselves, visiting new places, escorting to social events, helping with a puzzle or playing games, reading aloud together, playing and listening to music or watching TV together. Our warm carers build a wonderful relationship with your loved one and often are thought of as part of your family.

As well as remaining in the comfort of your own home, the family home is kept as an appreciating asset.

The obvious and more complex benefits to live-in care include:

• Remaining in your home, meaning you can spend your day as you please.

• Continuing your daily routine and social activities, while having a chaperone for appointments.

• Home cooked meals (of your choice).

• Keeping your pets with you.

• 24/7 one-to-one care and companionship.

• Specialist care if needed.

• Couples can stay together.

• Live-In Care is proven to improve health outcomes.

• Boosts well-being and happiness levels.

• Less caring responsibility and more quality family time.

• Peace of mind for the family.

Deciding to allow a new person into your life and your home can be an extremely difficult and challenging process. We recognise and understand the fears you will naturally have and aim to provide peace of mind to our clients and their family. Mumby’s employ and train only the best carers. We then meticulously match the needs and preferences of our clients and their families with our carers team.

You can rest assured that our experienced team know that some clients have preferences and sensitivities that can be awkward to discuss. They are dedicated to supporting you and your family through this process. We provide you with options and choices to suit your needs, no matter how delicate you might feel they are.

Our stringent employment and comprehensive staffing process emphasises professionalism, expertise and qualifications. We select and screen our live-in support staff very carefully through pre-employment interviews and reference checks. Mandatory DBS police checks are carried out and regularly reviewed for all Mumby’s employees. Mumby’s are very proud to have an exceptionally high retention rate of care staff because they are valued and supported in their roles. It is important to us that we look after our staff so they can concentrate on looking after you.

Mumby’s is one of the only live-in care providers that provides an out of hours service. Someone will always answer your call on that emergency number if you have a concern.
