Allow our Family to look after yours
Our founders, Ann and Trevor Mumby, are from healthcare backgrounds. They are passionate about providing an excellent service that helps people to continue to live safely and happily in the home they love.
Ann Mumby is a nurse and home-care professional, who saw that live-in care was an eminently better option than nursing homes.
Trevor Mumby, is a recognized psychoanalyst and an author of dementia support publications. He delivers a first-class one-to-one dementia training programme for carers on how to live with a client with dementia. This specialist dementia training furnishes our carers with a deep understanding of dementia and empowers high quality care.
What is Live-in Care?
Learn why live-in care is the most viable long-term alternative and preferred care option
• 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.
