Live-in Care
A dedicated carer lives with you around the clock, providing continuous support while you stay in the comfort of your own home. Ideal for those who need full-time assistance or simply prefer the security of someone always being there.
What it involves
Round-the-clock support at home.
A live-in carer stays in the home and is available throughout the day and night. This is the right option for people who need a consistent, high level of support but want to remain at home rather than move into residential care.
Live-in care covers the full range of day-to-day support. The carer works to the person's own routine and preferences rather than an imposed schedule, independence and dignity are always at the centre.
Live-in care is often a more affordable alternative to residential care, and means the person stays in familiar surroundings with one-to-one support.
