What are live in support workers?

Live in support workers are professionals who reside in the home of individuals needing assistance due to age, disability, or health conditions. They provide support with daily living tasks such as personal care, medication management, meal preparation, and household chores. Their presence allows people to maintain independence and remain in their own homes rather than moving to residential care facilities. Live in support workers often offer emotional companionship and help clients engage in social or community activities. The role can vary depending on the individual's needs and the support worker's qualifications.
