Affordable live-in carers offer Limerick families 'independence' and 'peace of mind'

Affordable live-in carers offer Limerick families 'independence' and 'peace of mind'

ALHomecare specialises in providing affordable live-in carers that enable your loved one to continue to live in their own home with as much independence as possible.

Looking back on the decision Úna Kinane made with her family, to provide her mother with a live-in carer, she says if anything it created a greater level of freedom for her.

“We felt that we gave mom more independence, rather than taking it away from her. 

“It allowed her to sit in the living room watching her favourite detective programmes without being disturbed. She had her meals prepared for her and the carer enabled her to live her life to the full as she always did before. 

Úna was able to find the right carer for her mom through Affordable Live-in Homecare, who specialise in providing live-in care. ALHomecare has already helped countless families across Ireland find experienced carers who fit the exact needs specified by the family. 

 “Some responsibility was lifted off our shoulders, knowing that there was someone responsible, professional and caring in the house whose ultimate job was to make sure that mom was ok. That brought huge peace of mind,” Úna says.

When asked about what advice she would have for others, Úna explains how finding a carer with ALHomecare has benefited everyone involved, from her mom and the family to the carer herself.

“I would say definitely look at this option with ALHomecare. It’s a win-win; the carer themselves get a contract of employment which gives both the carer and the family a sense of security.

 “I would urge anybody to think about it, certainly if they have a spare bedroom and if your loved one needs more and more care as they get older. I think it is without a doubt the optimal solution, it gives you consistency of care, it’s much more affordable, you can get tax back from the Revenue Commission and it’s better than having a lot of different visiting carers coming constantly,” Úna adds.
