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.
