Live-in care means a trained carer lives with you in your own home. It is an alternative to moving into a care home, letting you keep your routines, your belongings, your neighbours and often your pets.
How live-in care can help
- Washing, dressing, bathing and continence care
- Prompting and administering medication as set out in your care plan
- Cooking meals you enjoy and help with eating and drinking
- Housework, laundry and shopping
- Company, conversation and getting out and about
- Reassurance at night
Finding the right carer
Because your carer will be living with you, the match matters. We take time to understand your personality, routines and preferences before introducing a carer, and we arrange cover for their breaks so your support continues.
Is live-in care right for us?
Live-in care often suits people who need help at different times of day, who are not safe alone for long, or whose families are worried about nights. We will talk honestly with you about whether it is the right fit or whether visits would work better.
