What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a professional carer lives in your loved one's home, providing round-the-clock support and companionship. They help with personal care, medication, meals, mobility and everyday tasks so your relative can continue living safely and comfortably in familiar surroundings.

Benefits of live-in care at

Keep familiar rooms and routines—often calmer and less disruptive than relocating to residential care.
Truly one-to-one
Support shaped around their day, preferences, and changing needs—not a generic rota.
Often better value than homes
Especially for couples: one household cost instead of two separate home fees.
One consistent carer
Trust grows when the same person knows habits, quirks, and how support should feel.

Live-in care can often start within a few days, depending on your requirements and carer availability. If your situation is urgent, we can prioritise matching and introductions to help you get support in place as quickly as possible.
The cost of live-in care depends on factors like the level of care required, daily routine, whether night support is needed, and the carer’s experience. We’ll introduce carers with clear, agreed rates so you can understand the total cost before making a decision.
A live-in carer stays in your home, or your loved one’s home, and provides support throughout the day, based on an agreed routine. This can include personal care, meals, companionship, and help around the home, with time for breaks and rest built into the schedule.
