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.
It's ideal for people who need ongoing support but want to avoid moving into a care home. Live-in care can be arranged for individuals or couples and is often used for dementia care, mobility support, or palliative needs. Typical UK cost is £1,050–£1,400 a week. We introduce vetted live-in carers and can often start within a few days.
24 hour care at home
Families searching for 24 hour care at home are usually looking for a live-in carer: one consistent person who stays overnight, covers days, and keeps familiar routines going without a care-home move.
A live-in carer works to an agreed routine with rest periods built in. For couples, one live-in arrangement is often far more affordable than two residential rooms. Speak to our team and we'll match you with a live-in carer whose experience fits your home.

Benefits of live-in care at
your home
Stay home, skip the move
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.
