Live-In Care
Live-in care means a self-employed carer moves into your loved one’s home and provides continuous support — typically a maximum of 10 hours active care per day plus a 2-hour rest break, with availability through the night for occasional needs. Carers usually work in blocks of 2 to 4 weeks at a time, with handovers carefully managed.
For many families, live-in care is the answer to the question they did not know how to ask: how to give a parent the support they need without taking them away from the home they love.
Live-in care suits older people who need substantial daily support but who are clear they do not want to move into a residential setting. It is often the right choice for people living with dementia, those recovering from a hospital stay, those approaching end of life, or those whose primary family carer is no longer able to manage alone.
For clients who need general support — companionship, household help, personal care, mobility assistance, meal preparation.
For clients with more complex needs — advanced dementia, mobility challenges requiring specialist equipment, end-of-life care, or conditions that benefit from a carer with additional training and experience.
Call us on 07894 649 565 for a free consultation. Live-in placements take a little more time to arrange than visiting care — typically 7 to 14 days — because the matching matters more. We will introduce you carefully and follow up after the first week to make sure it is working well.
We arrange live-in care for couples as well as individuals. The carer provides support to both partners, and the rates reflect this. Many couples find that live-in care allows them to stay together at home when one or both would otherwise need to move into care.
