Not necessarily. Live-in care can often be more cost-effective than a residential care home, particularly if you or your loved one has complex needs. With one-to-one, tailored support in your own home, many families feel live-in care offers greater value and peace of mind. It can also be a more cost-effective option for couples, as it avoids additional accommodation and shared care fees.
Our live-in carers are trained to support a wide range of complex health conditions, including dementia, MS, Parkinson’s, and palliative care needs. We work closely with families and healthcare professionals to ensure the care plan is safe, personalised, and regularly reviewed.
