Live-in Care

Live-in care is when a carer lives in you or your loved one’s home to enable their needs to be met. This gives people an opportunity to be in familiar environments and be the driver of your own care, with a full package and support of a suitable carer. Where individuals require specialist care we will pair them up with a trained experienced carer.

Receiving live-in care at home is an increasingly popular alternative to an elderly relative moving into a care home. This enables them to stay in the comfort of their own home while meeting their changing needs. It gives you reassurance that your loved one has always got someone on hand to help them remain as independent as possible for as long as possible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

For some people having a live-in carer means they get to say in their home environments where they may have brought up their children or have some cherished memories. The carer will get to live with you in your own home 24/7 and the good thing is you do not have to make a decision to leave your home or go to a residential care home.

The carers will be available to help you or your relative throughout the day and at night. For most of our clients, we provide round-the-clock 24/7 live-in care, but we also have options to provide just a few hours’ respite care if that’s all you need. You and your loved one have options to have carers live-in all the time or work a rota pattern.

The great thing about live-in care is you will receive one-to-one personal support for all your care needs while your carer will be supporting you with all of your medical requirements, personal needs, household chores, preparation of meals to name a few. Care at home that is available twenty-four hours a day can provide you or your loved one with a sense of security they would not otherwise experience.

Having a live-in carer, you can work within a flexible timetable that suits you and have choice about all aspects of your care, including meal times and bed times. Whatever your needs are, from reduced mobility, mental health or having a complex care condition, live-in care can enable you to continue living in your own home. You can also get to keep your pets which can help enhance your mood.
