How Live In Care in Wakefield Helped One Client Stay Where She Belongs

After a fall, many older people face difficult decisions about their future, especially when safety becomes a concern. For one of our clients, the idea of leaving her much-loved home was unthinkable. Thanks to live in care from Radfield Home Care Wakefield & Huddersfield, that move was never needed.

“My first thought was, how will I cope living with another person? Someone I don’t know. But I decided that I wanted to stay in my own home and if this was the only way to do it and make my family happy, then yes, okay, we’ll do it.”

Originally supported by another care provider, the client and her family soon moved to Radfield Home Care after a recommendation, and they haven’t looked back since.

The Comfort of Home, the Support of Live In Care

With a dedicated live-in Care Professional, there is always someone present to offer support, companionship, and reassurance. For this client, that means safety, familiarity, and continued independence:

“I have someone with me all the time, someone who looks after my home and me, someone who also becomes a friend or a companion.”

Living at home means waking up to countryside views, feeding birds in the garden, enjoying the company of her beloved cat Susie, and receiving daily visits from family. Nothing about her lifestyle has changed, except now, there’s peace of mind for everyone involved.

“I am sitting in my own home with my belongings around me, photos and lots and lots of memories.”
