What is live-in care?

Live-in care is a personalised care service where a trained carer moves into yours or your loved ones home, providing all the round-the-clock support that’s needed. It’s different from visiting care. Rather than having a carer for short visits throughout the day, a live-in carer is always on hand. 

24-hour live-in care means you can stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, while benefiting from dedicated one-to-one support, with everything from daily routines to complex health needs taken care of.

The benefits of live-in care

Live-in care has both emotional and practical benefits, helping you keep your independence and home comforts. As well as having someone nearby to help, listen, and reassure, live-in carers also support everyday tasks. 

  • Consistent, one-to-one support from a dedicated carer

  • Enjoy home comforts rather than a residential care home

  • Stay close to loved ones, pets, and familiar surroundings

  • Stick to your routines and hobbies that matter to you

  • Ease feelings of loneliness and isolation

  • Get tailored care that meets your needs

  • Peace of mind for families, knowing someone is always there

Live-in care can also be a safer, more flexible alternative to residential care for many people, especially those with complex or changing needs.
