LIVE-IN CARER
Live-in care provides continuous support for individuals who require assistance throughout the day and night while remaining in the comfort of their own home. A live-in carer becomes a trusted presence within the household, offering practical support, companionship, and reassurance.
At MyCare Malta, live-in care arrangements follow a structured process that ensures the right carer is matched to the right household, supporting both the individual receiving care and their family.
How the Process Works
1️⃣ Care Evaluation
The process begins with a structured evaluation to understand the care needs of the individual and the home environment.
This includes:
- Assessment of personal care requirements
- Review of mobility and health considerations
- Discussion of daily routines and expectations
- Identification of care hours and responsibilities
This ensures the care arrangement is built around the individual’s specific needs.
2️⃣ Candidate Sourcing & Screening
Once requirements are defined, suitable live-in carers are identified through a structured recruitment process.
Screening may include:
- Background verification
- Reference checks
- Experience and skill review
- Communication and suitability assessment
Only candidates meeting defined standards proceed to the matching stage.
3️⃣ Personalised Matching
Live-in care is not only about practical assistance — compatibility within the home is essential.
Candidates are shortlisted based on:
- Care experience and relevant skills
- Language compatibility
- Personality and household fit
- Availability for live-in arrangements
Families are then introduced to shortlisted candidates to select the most suitable match.
4️⃣ Placement & Onboarding
Once a live-in carer is selected:
- Employment documentation is prepared
- Onboarding guidance is provided
- Household routines and responsibilities are clarified
- Care expectations are formally documented
This ensures a smooth and organised transition into the home.
5️⃣ Optional Ongoing Care Support
Families may choose to activate Ongoing Care Services to introduce additional structure and coordination.
This may include:
- Payroll administration
- Digital care task management
- Medication and appointment tracking
- Structured documentation and communication support
This additional layer helps maintain stability and transparency throughout the care arrangement.
