Reliable Caregivers for Your Peace of Mind

How do we match you with the right ConsidraCare Live-in Caregiver?

1

Need Assessment

We begin by assessing elderly care requirements and crafting a comprehensive senior care plan for your loved ones

2

Intelligent Live-in Caregiver Matching

We then use our platform to find the best-matched live-in caregivers from our pool of pre-screened and approved caregivers based on your loved one's specific needs and personality and help arrange the interviews with the caregivers short-listed by families

3

Hiring

When a family chooses to directly employ a live-in caregiver, we help with contract, orientation, and administrative tasks, ensuring a smooth start to their partnership. Alternatively, we can hire, train and manage the caregivers ourselves for an additional fee, and then provide them as live-in attendants to your loved ones.

4

Ongoing Elderly Care Services & Management

We regularly collaborate with families and caregivers to update care plans and tasks using our proprietary technology platform. Families access the client portal, while caregivers use the app to get instructions on daily tasks, record vitals, and update the families in real-time. We handle payroll, monitor care, and ensure quality of care.

5

Replacement & Backup of Caregivers

If care needs change or the caregiver is no longer the best match, we replace the live-in caregiver without any additional charges. If a caregiver gets sick or needs to go on vacation, we arrange for backup caregivers to ensure continuity of care.

Responsibilities of a Live-in Caregiver?

Frequently Asked Questions

Live-in care refers to a full-time care service where a professional caregiver resides with the individual in need of care. This type of care ensures that assistance is available round-the-clock, thus providing peace of mind to the individual and their family.
A live-in caregiver is trained to manage various tasks such as personal care, medication management, mobility assistance, and companionship. The primary function of such a service is to provide 24-hour care, ensuring the safety, well-being, and comfort of the client at all times. Live-in care is particularly beneficial for individuals with serious health conditions, mobility issues, or cognitive impairments.

Live-in care is often considered a more appealing option compared to long-term care homes or hospice care for several reasons.
First, it provides an individualized, one-on-one approach to care that is tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the person receiving care. This can lead to improved quality of life and increased satisfaction with care.
Second, live-in care allows individuals to remain in their own homes, in a familiar environment, which can provide emotional comfort and reduce feelings of disorientation or distress. While long-term care homes and hospice care offer valuable services, they may not provide the same level of personalized attention and comfort as live-in care.

The cost of elderly home care in Canada varies widely depending on factors like location, level of care, and provider. On average, it can range from $25 to $45 per hour for in-home care services.
Live-in care or 24-hour care tends to have higher monthly costs, averaging around $3,000 to $6,000 or more per month. These costs may be partially covered by government programs or private insurance, depending on the individual’s situation.

In Canada, seniors can access several government-funded programs and services for free or at a reduced cost, including healthcare through the publicly funded healthcare system (Medicare), prescription drug coverage in some provinces, and various income support programs like Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). Additionally, seniors may qualify for reduced public transportation fares and access to community and recreational programs. The availability of these services may vary by province and territory.

The cost of elder care facilities varies significantly depending on the level of care needed, location, and the quality of the facility. However, in many cases, the cost of live-in care can be less expensive than long-term senior homes.
Live-in care allows seniors to stay in their own homes while receiving personalized care that is often more cost-effective than residential facilities. This is due to the fact that you’re only paying for the care you need and not for room and board at a facility.
Plus, live-in care offers advantages like comfort, familiarity, and personalized attention that can greatly enhance a senior’s quality of life. Therefore, live-in care can be a more economical and beneficial elder care cost solution for many families.
