How does Live-in care work?

At Paragon Home Healthcare our live-in care is provided by carefully selected and nurse-trained carers who live-in with you. They provide care and support during the day and stay with you overnight for round-the-clock reassurance. Live-in care is bespoke to your needs, from medication management and mobility support all the way through to highly complex care management such as specialist spinal cord injury, dementia or neurological care. Our dedicated carers are carefully selected and trained by our experienced nurses. The specialist nursing team are available 24hrs a day for advice and guidance.

Settled and pre-settled status for EU citizens and their families

This is an uncertain time for EU nationals working and living in the UK. Paragon Home Healthcare recognises the valuable contribution our EU citizens make to care in the UK and has been closely monitoring the Government updates on how this may effect EU nationals.

The government has provided information on the EU Settlement Scheme for EU citizens and their families to remain in the UK after it leaves the EU (‘Brexit’): who’s eligible, how to apply, how much it costs.
