How live-in care works

A live-in carer moves into your home and provides round-the-clock support tailored to your needs. They help with personal care, meal preparation, medication management, housekeeping, and companionship, all within the comfort and familiarity of your own surroundings.

Unlike residential care, live-in care allows you to maintain your routines, stay close to family and friends, and keep beloved pets. It is a deeply personal form of support that puts you in control.

Who benefits from live-in care

Live-in care suits people who need consistent support throughout the day and night but wish to remain at home. It is particularly beneficial for those living with dementia, recovering from a hospital stay, or managing complex health conditions.

Couples can also benefit, as a single live-in carer can support both partners, often at a lower combined cost than two places in a care home.

Making the transition

Starting live-in care is a significant step, and we take time to match you with a carer whose personality, skills, and experience suit your needs. A gradual introduction period helps everyone adjust, and our care coordinators remain closely involved to ensure the arrangement works well.
