Help when you need it most!
It is really difficult and stressful for almost all elderly men and women when they start to feel they are unable to manage by themselves anymore and the anxiety about having to leave their own home and move into a residential home. At Total Living Care, we know that moving into a residential care home usually takes them away from their friends and their local community, leaving them feeling they have lost themselves and their independence.
It’s also a tough time for family and friends as the difficulties of looking after an older loved one takes them away from their work and very own immediate family along with them having to be concerned that their loved one is ok 24 hours of the day. As a member of the family gets older you want to enjoy the time you have with them rather than preparing food, cleaning, washing, running errands and getting them to appointments. Often people don’t think about the choice of having a carer coming into their relative’s residence to help them a couple of hours a day, full time or actually living in with them to avoid them from going into a care home as they believe the price might be an excessive amount. This isn’t always the case and Total Living Care can help you establish this.
At Total Living Care (TLC) we believe that living at home should be a choice for everyone.
We are a care agency providing home and live-in care services in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, and surrounding counties. With regular Domiciliary care or permanent home care through our Live-in care service, we provide a one-stop service to help keep our clients remain and live well in their best environment… at home.
What is Live-in Care for the Thornbury Community?
Elderly care is different from taking care of a person with medical requirements or a medical condition. The emphasis is supporting and encouraging them in their day-to-day life and routines, which makes it possible to hold onto their self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and pleasure in their life.
At TLC we understand that as we grow older some things predictably become somewhat more difficult, therefore, we provide remarkable and tailored elderly care to make life much easier for the whole family.
Our solutions are adapted to every client as we know that everybody’s needs and needs and wants to differ. We spend considerable time with close relatives as well as the client before the care commences to guarantee the careworker we provide has the same likes, dislikes, accreditations, and the training that’s needed.
Some clients take time to adjust to an individual being or living in their house supporting them and at Total Living Care, we understand this. Our Care Manager will visit each client to go over and assess their needs and then a care plan is put together. We work hard to be certain every client’s freedom is preserved whenever possible as we know that a carer coming into a client’s home and undertaking everything usually leads to them losing their self-sufficiency. Our Care Manager works together with you to make an introduction plan before a care worker begins, taking it step-by-step with introductions and gradual integration until every single client feels at ease and comfortable with their careworker within their home.
Our elderly care can be provided for particular hours throughout the day or night time, full-time day or night, 24-hour live-in care as well as respite care.
Live-In Care for Couples or Partners
Our services are really a wonderful alternative if a couple or one of the couple requires extra support as it allows them to continue to be with each other as an alternative to one, or both of them going into a care home.
This is especially important if the treatment required for one of them differs and this would mean they might have to move into different care or residential homes.
We believe in keeping families together and as comfortable as possible. Get in touch with to discuss your specific situation and we will glady have a conversation and outline some of the next best steps and options for you and your loved ones.

What are the Advantages of Elderly Care Thornbury?
- Personalised and devoted one-to-one care from a highly experienced and trained carer, with a very similar character and outlook on life
- It enables clients to continue to take pleasure from their accustomed surroundings and their home filled with their treasured possessions
- A recent survey (completed by Consultas Care) documented that 97 % of those that responded would not want to move into a care home. While residential care can offer an invaluable service, many people prefer to stay in their very own home if they can
- It provides reassurance for the client, their friends, neighbours and loved ones that knowledgeable carers are there to support when it is required
- Elderly care decreases the feelings of being isolated and lonely by giving friendship
- Elderly care in the home encourages and supports the continued recreation and interests of the client
- Living at home and a feeling of ongoing self-sufficiency carries a positive impact on individuals happiness, self-esteem, self-confidence and well-being

- A family member or friend doesn’t need to become a full-time care worker and family members and friends can be assured their family member is getting the most beneficial health care at the times they need it
- If travel is still a possibility, then an elderly carer can go along with a client on a trip
- Elderly carers are matched based on their experience and expertise which means they have the skills and experience needed for each individual client
- For couples, elderly care is capable of supporting both equally and allows partners to live together. If one care worker supports both individuals this has a financial advantage when compared with two sets of charges in a residential care home. This could be especially valuable if one has dementia or calls for extra support that would mean living in separate care homes suitable for them
- Elderly care can often be less than the price of a residential residence and this depends upon the services and health care considered necessary. Determined by eligibility and personal budgets elderly care may be state funded and we can answer questions you may have on this subject
