Live-in Care

It’s good to feel at home with live-in care

We want everyone to wake up each morning in their own bed, for as long as they like. To see the familiar sights outside their kitchen window. To hear the familiar sounds in their garden. To always feel at home. 

That’s what Live-in Care is designed to do. To help your loved ones live the life they want, in the place where they feel best. 

What is Live-In Care?

Live-in care means having a fully trained carer living with your loved one in their home, providing personalised support tailored to their needs. It’s about ensuring that they can remain in familiar surroundings, where every room tells a story and every corner brings a smile.

With a Live-in Carer, there’s no need to leave behind the familiar just because personal care needs have changed. Our highly trained Care Experts will live with your loved one, providing the everyday care and support they need right in their own home.

This support can be customised to fit your needs, whether it's 12 hours a day, with a two-hour personal break for the Live-in Carer, or 24 hours a day with coverage from two different Care Experts. The choice is yours.

What remains constant is our commitment to helping your loved one live a safe and fulfilling life at home.

Live-in Care means I don’t have to sell my home of 50 years, where I hold so many memories with my late husband.”

What do our Live-In Care Experts do?

All our Care Experts are not only highly professional but also genuinely compassionate. They bring a combination of empathy and reliability, ensuring your loved one can live life on their own terms, with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind.

Along with respecting your loved one’s privacy, they’ll always give them the time and attention they need. Which isn’t always the case in busy care home environments. 

Live-in carers can assist with a wide variety of tasks to make daily life easier and more enjoyable, including:

• Assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and other personal routines.
• Creating tasty, nutritious meals, prepared at times that suit your loved one.
• Help with laundry, cleaning, gardening, and keeping the home tidy.
• Fully trained carers can support with organising and administering medication.
• Helping your loved one move safely around their home and adjust their position as needed.
• From picking up prescriptions to accompanying them on shopping trips or social visits.
• Ensuring furry companions are well-fed, exercised, and cared for.

The Benefits of Live-in Care

There are so many reasons to choose Live-in Care for your loved one. If it’s not the personalised support, it’s the greater independence. And if it’s not the familiar surroundings, it’s the chance to regain their confidence and feel good about themselves.
