Why should I choose Live-in Care over a Care Home?

When looking for around the clock care for your loved ones, there’s always a debate whether to choose Live-in Care or a Care Home.

When looking for around the clock care for your loved ones, there’s always a debate whether to choose Live-in Care or a Care Home. As much as they are both beneficial, Live-in Care provides care at home, meaning you can be in the comfort of all your memories and be surrounded by a home that you have formed as your own.

Discussing 24/7 care for your loved ones is a tough decision, but knowing that they are going to be able to stay at home and be looked after, is the peace of mind you need when coming to this decision.

Live in care is a very cost-effective option for individuals with long term care requirements. For the similar price as a one bed within a care home you can receive a bespoke service, which not only caters to your healthcare needs but also your mental, social and emotional needs.

For couples seeking care, live in care is significantly cheaper than two rooms in a care home. With the assistance of Bluebird Care couples can continue living as partners, without disrupting their usual routines. Giving you the opportunity to freely enjoy meals, outings and social activities together, whilst receiving care tailored to each individuals’ unique needs.

So why consider a Care Home when you can receive care in your own home?

Live-in care


Our award-winning and outstanding live in care service provides:

  • A team of two professional carers - highly trained and experienced staff
  • Carers that are employed by us - we invest in their training, give proper levels of pay and reward loyalty so they are highly motivated and the best they can be
  • Effective and shorter rota work patterns so our carers give you high quality and consistent care
  • Highly trained carers in the latest techniques

Not only does our Live-in Care provide specialist care, which is customised to your loved ones needs, but it provides companionship which allows your loved ones to feel comfortable and supported in their own home.

Out of the many things our carers will do for you, day to day our carers will take responsibility for household and domestic tasks - including looking after your pets, so abandoning your beloved pet is not an option!


As well as providing companionship and specialist care, our service includes:

  • Taking responsibility for household and domestic tasks - including looking after pets
  • Liaising with all medical professionals involved
  • Dedicated carers, supported by regional managers
  • 24/7 support and advice whenever you and your family need it
  • Specialist dementia trained staff
  • We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, as well as trusted and endorsed by leading charities and medical professionals.


The level of trust and friendship which is developed between a live-in carer and a service user is unlikely to be obtained through other care provisions. At Bluebird Care our carers provide a patient, personal and intimate service with aim of making you as comfortable as possible.

By choosing live-in care with Bluebird Care, you are choosing to continue living with choice and control, surrounded by your families and communities.

In a Care Home, you will not be provided with the same level of personalised care as you would with Live-in Care, which is why choosing Live-in Care with us is the right choice. You will be provided with nothing but Peace of mind and at Bluebird Care, our carers become part of your lifestyle, making friendships for life.
