Frequently Asked Questions
What is a live-in caregiver, and who is this arrangement suitable for?
A live-in caregiver stays in the home to support an elderly family member with daily activities, supervision, and care. This arrangement is often suitable when a consistent presence is needed for safety, mobility support, or ongoing assistance at home. If you are unsure whether this is the right option for your loved one, contact us and our team can guide you through the care considerations.
How is a live-in caregiver different from an elderly caregiver who does not live in?
A live-in caregiver provides round-the-clock presence in the home, while other elderly caregiver arrangements may involve daytime or shift-based support. Families usually choose live-in care when supervision is required beyond standard working hours.
Is a live-in caregiver employed under a domestic helper work permit?
Yes. Live-in caregivers are employed under the foreign domestic worker permit framework and placed in accordance with MOM requirements. This allows caregivers to legally reside in the home and provide daily support.
What happens if a live-in caregiver is not suitable after placement?
If the caregiver is found to be unsuitable within the agreed period, replacement arrangements can be made in accordance with our service terms. This gives families time to assess fit without feeling locked into an unsuitable placement. You can also learn more about us and our approach to caregiver matching before making a decision.
Are there alternatives to live-in care if my parent does not want a caregiver at home full-time?
Yes. Some families explore other options depending on care needs, including shared living arrangements such as elderly co-living, or different levels of in-home support as needs change.
How long does it take to arrange a live-in caregiver?
Once care requirements are confirmed, caregiver shortlisting and interviews can begin. Timelines depend on caregiver availability, documentation, and the level of care required, but the process is structured to move forward without unnecessary delays. For a clearer estimate based on your family's situation, contact us and our team will be happy to assist.
Who should I speak to if I am unsure whether live-in care is the right option?
If you are unsure which care arrangement is most suitable, it helps to speak directly with someone who can walk through your situation. You can contact us to discuss care needs, household considerations, and next steps.
