Recent news has highlighted the risks of COVID-19 spreading within a care home setting, despite the very best efforts of their care staff working tirelessly to keep them safe and well.
Public Health England (PHE) data have revealed more than 9,000 confirmed deaths from COVID-19 in care homes across the UK. The fear that the actual number could be far higher still remains.
The latest figures show COVID-19 deaths have exceeded 30,000 across the UK, which was described as a “massive tragedy” by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. This means 1/4 of COVID-19 deaths have supposedly taken place in care homes.
Find out how live-in care at Trinity Homecare could support you and your loved ones, whilst relieving the burden on the NHS.
There is a solution: live-in care.
Live-in care provides one-to-one, around the clock support within the comfort of your own home. It significantly reduces interactions between people compared to care homes and effectively enables self-isolation and shielding. Live-in care enables the most vulnerable to be safe in their own home throughout this crisis.
What Live-in Care can do to support you
Reducing Hospital admissions
We can reduce hospital readmission numbers compared to care homes. The Better at Home report shows that people are nearly a third more likely to fall in any one year if they’re in a residential or nursing home, compared to living at home, with visiting or live-in care.
Shielding the Vulnerable
Shielding vulnerable adults with a single or rotating live-in carer significantly reduces the risks of spreading COVID-19 compared to a residential or nursing home setting.
A ready-made solution
Live-in care provides a ready-made solution, to help with hospital discharges during COVID-19 and enables the most vulnerable to be cared for within the comfort of their own home.
Supporting the NHS
An alternative to residential and nursing care that can help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 further and reduce the burden on the NHS.
Reasons to choose Live-in Care
Live-in care is a safe and cost-effective alternative to a care home, at a time when the risks of cross-transmission within care and nursing homes are becoming a great concern. At Trinity Homecare, we are able to provide a single or rotating live-in care worker which mitigates these risks at a comparable price to a nursing home bed.
