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. All carers introduced through Match with Care are interviewed and background checked.
Benefits of Live-in care
Stay in familiar surroundings
Your loved one can remain in the comfort of their own home rather than moving into a care home. Familiar routines and surroundings often help people feel calmer and more secure.
One-to-one support
Care is tailored entirely around your loved one's routine, preferences, and needs. With dedicated support from one carer, they receive consistent and personalised attention.
More affordable than care homes
Live-in care is often more affordable than a residential care home. For couples, it can be significantly more cost-effective than paying for two separate rooms.
Continuity of care
Seeing the same carer each day builds trust and familiarity. Over time, carers develop a deep understanding of routines, preferences, and changing needs.
