Reviews From Our Clients

First Guardians were able to help my family match a carer to provide care for our elderly mother. The process was smooth and we were able to find the right fit in no time. The most important thing for our family was ensuring our mother was able to get dedicated care at home and First Guardians worked with us to place the most suitable carer to provide for her needs.

Would recommend this service for anyone looking to get their loved one dedicated support from a carer in their own home.

First Guardians is an amazing company that really provided a service that is dependable and reliable as a care company. I felt well looked after and the communication is great.

After speaking to the owner of First Guardians, I am excited about their aims and the vision they plan to achieve for the Elderly population in their community. First Guardians are a company with good values who are passionate about making a change in our communities, especially for the elderly population which is growing rapidly. First Guardians seek to provide good quality care and improve the daily lives of their clients and families.

What does a live-in carer assist with?

A live-in carer moves into your home and provides round-the-clock support. They assist with personal care, medication management, household chores, and complex care needs, among other responsibilities.
What tasks are outside a live-in carer's purview?

Live-in carers don't perform tasks typically done by district nurses, like administering injections or tending to open wound dressings. They also don't undertake gardening, DIY, or in-home modifications.
Do carers require a private space?

Indeed, carers need a dedicated bedroom. At the least, they should have a single bed and a door that closes securely to maintain their privacy. This space is crucial for their relaxation and rest during off-hours.
What accommodations should be made for a live-in carer?

For a live-in carer, it's essential to provide a private bedroom equipped with at least a single bed and storage space like a wardrobe or drawers. Aside from this, they'll generally share other home amenities with you.
What are the restrictions on a carer's duties?

Carers aren't authorized to perform roles specific to district nurses, including dressing open wounds or giving injections. They're also not responsible for gardening, home renovations, or DIY tasks.
What is a typical duration for a carer's stay?

On average, a live-in carer stays in your home for 3-6 weeks, depending on your preferences. After this, they usually have a 1-2 week break, during which a substitute carer takes over. They typically operate on a rotational basis.
When do carers rest and take breaks?

Carers are entitled to 14 hours of breaks throughout a week. This can be divided in a manner that's convenient for you, often split into daily two-hour breaks or several afternoons weekly.
How can I ensure compatibility with my carer?

We gather information about your likes, hobbies, and character traits to match you with a compatible carer. Before they arrive, you'll have the opportunity to learn about them, view their photo, and even converse with them to gauge your comfort level.
Is it possible to request a male carer?

Absolutely. Your comfort, care specifics, and personal preferences are paramount. If you prefer a male carer, we'll ensure that you're paired with a suitable match based on your needs and wishes.
Can I opt for a female carer?

Of course. Your care requirements and personal preferences are always considered. If you're more comfortable with a female carer, we'll ensure that she aligns with your needs and preferences.
