Do you worry about how your parents are managing at home?
When distance separates you from aging parents or loved ones, concern can feel overwhelming. Every missed call or unexpected silence can trigger anxiety. But with the right care in place, families can experience true peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are supported, safe, and well cared for—no matter where they are.
The Difference Live-in Care Makes: First-hand Experiences
Live-in care provides a vital solution for families who can’t always be physically present. Anne, living in Belgium, sought reliable care for her mother, Ena, and found reassurance through Agincare:
I have complete confidence in my mother’s care worker. I visit every few weeks and speak with the carer every night. Even though I’m further away, I feel very involved and supported.
One of the greatest advantages of live-in care is that it allows families to remain involved without the stress of constant caregiving. You can focus on enjoying quality time, sharing conversations, and making memories.
Staying Connected While Living Apart
We understand that distance shouldn’t be a barrier to staying informed. That’s why we provide real-time updates through our care app, ensuring families have 24-hour access to the latest information, no matter their time zone. What’s more, regular communication with care coordinators and personalised support means that even when they are miles apart, families can feel close.
For Anna and Helena, finding the right care for their sister, Maresa, was life-changing. Anna, based in London, recalls:
I feel so much more confident and at ease living a distance away than I did before when we employed a different care company. Before, I had constant anxiety and uncertainty. I was working, trying to follow up all the time, then visiting every weekend—and I was still unsure. Now, I know Maresa is being well cared for.
Thanks to flexible communication options, Anna visits every six weeks and FaceTime’s Maresa daily, while Helena, in Australia, also remains closely involved and visits when possible.
The Comfort of Home and Personalised Care
For elderly parents, staying at home preserves independence, routine, and identity. Live-in carers provide tailored support, from daily tasks to companionship, ensuring well-being and quality of life.
Live-in carers assist with:
- Caring for pets
- Managing medication
- Coordinating healthcare
- Encouraging hobbies & socialisation
- Household tasks & finances
By handling these responsibilities, live-in care allows families to focus on what truly matters—spending meaningful time with their loved ones.
