Every day more and more families are challenged with balancing their work, home life, and downtime to tend to the needs of a parent or loved one and challenged with what to do.
Some communities provide these needed services in a restricted and supervised setting or a visit daily from a home health aide. But, an around-the-clock, One-on-One live-in provider keeps the focus where it should remain — on the person who needs the assistance. It keeps that person right where they feel their best — at home.

"FCP Live-In is about caring for people," said FCP Live-In CEO David Anthony. "I founded this company because the options are limited when it comes to caring for a loved one. Right now, you either have a home health aide who comes to the home for a few hours, or a loved one needs to go into an assisted living facility. "But what if you take the best of both?" he asked. "An insured and bonded live-in caregiver that provides one-on-one care stays in the home and is there 24/7. That's where FCP Live-In comes in."
FCP Live-In Knows Home Is Where The Heart Is

Having a short-term stay in rehab or multiple discussions of moving to an assisted living facility, it's easy to understand the powerful comfort of staying in one's own home. An in-home care provider offers independence where it's most valuable, and a live-in care provider is there in the essential times for support.
FCP Live-In Care Coordinator Kevin Williams has firsthand experience with the value of at-home care. "I went in and introduced myself," he said, "and [the client] shook my hand and responded with her name, followed by 'I'm gonna be dead in a week.' "
End-of-life care can challenge any family, but having help in the familiarity of home brings a family together, and for this client, is promised to be a part of making the most of her precious final days. "It broke my heart and also warmed it," Williams said, "because it was Friday afternoon when I finished the paperwork. I got on the ferry, and by Monday, I was at her house with a caregiver, waiting for her to come back ... she shook my hand and thanked me, and it was that moment right there that I know I did the right thing to join FCP Live-In."
FCP Live-In Is Individualized Response
Deciding to remain in the home is a great start, but the right caregiver fit for your loved one is what makes live-in home care special.
"There is a pretty unique in-home approach that we do that individualizes senior care options," said Lorraine Hansen, FCP Live-In care coordinator, describing the assessment each client completes. This assessment is paired with details that prospective caregivers provide in terms of experience and personality to help ensure a match.

"I think we've got some legacy and history behind us that really supports a top-quality caregiver," said Hansen, noting FCP Live-In has been in business for 24 years. "All of our caregivers have to be certified home health aides or certified nursing assistants." Some are personal care assistants too, but every caregiver from FCP Live-In has at least two years of similar experience.
FCP Live-In Is A Trust You Can Count On
We service a very vulnerable population, and immediate trust is paramount to our clients and FCP, especially when providing live-in care.
"We have a very stringent process as far as vetting," said Williams. Each caregiver must pass a skill assessment. FCP Live-In completes a full background check and verifies employment eligibility before matching a provider with a client.
Regular check-ins between care providers and field supervisors and a constant line of communication with medical professionals continue to keep the health and safety of clients center stage.
"Many times, the families I work with are consumed with what they cannot control," Hansen said. "I try to shift their energy to what FCP Live-In can create: a safe and secure live-in situation where their loved one's needs are taken care of."
Care During COVID-19 With FCP Live-In
It is no surprise that COVID-19 has presented some challenges to the healthcare communities and families alike. From limited visiting schedules with a loved one to the worry of covid within a community, puts added stress on families. Live-in home care has offered another option to families who want to limit a loved one's exposure while living safely in their own home.
"We continue to update policy on Covid and have protocols in place for both our caregivers and clients to ensure everyone remains safe", said Williams.
Hansen has noticed cases this year that have required more clinical attention as more clients look to stay home. "Families want to take their loved ones home in a safe environment, with someone who's e-on-one with them."
