What does LIC mean in HEALTHCARE

Live-In Care is when an experienced caregiver or team of caregivers live in the home of the person they are providing care for and provides hands-on assistance with everyday activities. This could be anything from meal preparation, bathing and dressing to medication reminders, light housekeeping, companionship and more.

People who are elderly, disabled, have a chronic medical condition or short/long term illness, and need assistance managing their day-to-day life can benefit from incorporating a live-in carer into their care plans. A live-in carer can also help someone maintain their independence while still having the support they need with activities of daily living.

The service is typically provided by qualified certified caregivers who have received specialized training and abide by relevant regulations in terms of safety, quality of care and professional conduct.

Live-In Care typically takes place in the comfort of your home, allowing you to remain independent yet still receive the necessary support for your daily needs.

Unlike home health aides or visiting nurses who provide periodic visits throughout the week, a live-in caregiver resides in your home 24 hours a day 7 days a week ensuring you always receive proper care when needed.

Generally speaking, costs vary depending on many factors such as area you live in, type of services required etc., however you generally will pay either a flat rate per day or per hour plus additional fees if applicable. You should speak with your provider or healthcare provider to discuss pricing options further.

The best way to find the right provider is to do some research online or ask for referrals from friends or family that may have used similar services before. Also make sure to look for providers that are reputable and reliable with years of experience and good references. It’s important to get clear on how much coverage you need so that you can find someone who meets your specific requirements.
