Why
Why Live-in Care?
Live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to residential care homes, and with good reason. By choosing live-in care, you can stay in your own home and maintain your independence while still receiving the support you need. You'll have a dedicated carer with you 24/7 to help with everything from personal care to housekeeping, and because they live with you, you'll enjoy a close and trusting relationship.
But there are other benefits to live-in care in Lurgan too. If you have pets, you won't have to give them up or worry about finding someone to look after them - your carer will be happy to help. And because Lurgan is such a lovely area, there are plenty of places to visit and explore. The nearby Lurgan Park is a beautiful place for a walk, and the historic Brownlow House is just a short drive away. And if you fancy venturing further afield, the bustling city of Belfast is just a short distance away.

PrimeCarers is an online platform that connects individuals who require care and support with professional and experienced carers and personal assistants, who are often more cost-effective than agency carers. They are also vetted by PrimeCarers, ensuring a safe and reliable working relationship. Our platform provides a hassle-free and efficient way to find and hire compassionate carers who offer person-centred care tailored to your unique needs.

While most people choose to have phone calls and video calls with their carers before beginning work with them, and may have a trial period of a few days to a couple of weeks, we offer you the ability to book in-person interviews. This allows you to get to know the carer better and ensure that they are the right fit for your needs.

Homecare provides the opportunity for individuals to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving personalised care and support. This can lead to a better quality of life, greater independence, and increased feelings of security and familiarity. Homecare can also be more affordable and less disruptive to daily routines than care homes. Additionally, individuals with memory issues may experience significant worsening of their symptoms if they are taken out of their home environment. Homecare can provide a familiar and comfortable setting that can help to mitigate these issues.

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, refers to the provision of care and support services that are provided in an individual's own home. This type of care can be broken down into several categories, including hourly care, live-in care, and respite care.
- Live-in care involves carers living with individuals in their own homes and providing continuous support and care. This type of care is ideal for individuals who require more intensive support, such as those with complex medical conditions, disabilities, or dementia.
- Hourly care involves carers visiting individuals in their own homes for a set amount of time each day or week to provide support with daily activities, such as dressing, washing, meal preparation, and medication management. This type of care is ideal for individuals who require support to maintain their independence but do not require around-the-clock care.
- Respite care involves providing temporary care and support to individuals who usually receive care from a family member or regular carer. This type of care allows the primary caregiver to take a break and recharge, while ensuring that their loved one is still receiving the care and support they need.
In all cases, domiciliary care services are designed to support individuals to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible, while also improving their quality of life and promoting their overall wellbeing.
PrimeCarers provides a host of benefits for those seeking care, including:
- Choice: You have the freedom to choose the carer(s) that best fit your preferences and needs.
- Control: You can communicate directly with your carer, without having to rely on a third party to convey your needs.
- Continuity: With the same carer every time, you can build a rapport and establish a consistent level of care.
- Cost: You can save between 30% to 50% compared to traditional agency care, while still receiving high-quality, experienced care.
