What is live in care?
Live-in care provides constant, round-the-clock care from a dedicated carer who lives with you in your home, offering a Care Package at a moment’s notice.

Not only will your live-in carer be able to provide you with practical and physical care, they can also be a wonderful source of companionship and emotional support. All of our live-in carers are handpicked for their kind, empathetic personalities, and your local care manager will pair you with someone who matches your likes and interests.

Are live in care and 24-hour care the same?
If you have advanced care needs, 24-hour care offers a round-the-clock live-in support option.
With 24-hour care, there will usually be one main live-in carer who lives with you full time and other carers who may support you overnight or during the day when your regular carer is taking a break or needs assistance with moving and handling duties.
You can also opt for live-in care if you need regular support for some ailments, but don’t need constant care. There could be a variety of different reasons why someone may need 24-hour care. Here are some examples:
Some reasons why you may need live-in care:
Advanced dementia
If your loved one is living with advanced dementia and is unable to be left alone in their home, a friendly live-in carer offers security and assistance
Physical disability
If you have severe physical needs and require constant personal aid around the home, this is something a live-in carer can always help with
Palliative needs
If you’ve been diagnosed with a progressive or terminal condition and need support managing your symptoms
Age-related frailty
Perhaps you’re prone to regular falls, or are unable to carry out day-to-day tasks around the home. Our carers can assist with mobility and the housework
Living alone
If you or a loved one are living alone, a live-in carer provides valuable companionship and a constant source of friendly, reliable support
Loved ones unable to visit
It might be that your loved ones live too far away or aren’t able to visit regularly, or perhaps you require personal care that you’d rather a carer handled
Companionship through live in care
Our live-in carers can provide valuable companionship, as well as physical support.
Many people who have some minor issues, such as being unable to wash themselves or requiring the use of a mobility aid, may opt for a live-in carer. Not only does having someone who is fully trained to look after you provide you and your loved ones with reassurance, it can also give you much-needed companionship.
We only recruit the most friendly, compassionate people to our care teams, which means our carers make for wonderful companions.
