Live in care enables the care receiver to stay in their cherished home while receiving essential support. Familiar surroundings and fond memories can enhance their care plan. Our carers know this, and that’s why they do all that they can to keep you comfortable at home.
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.

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
If you or a loved one are living alone, a live-in carer provides valuable companionship and a constant source of friendly, reliable support
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

Here are some of the many ways in which a live-in carer can support you at home:
A live-in career can provide you with discreet and sensitive personal care that will mean you won’t have to worry about asking family members to help with intimate routines. Personal care might include assistance with bathing, toileting, getting dressed and more.
If you’re living alone, or living with a partner but are too far away from your loved ones to see them regularly, a live-in carer can be there to watch your favourite TV programmes with you, play a board game, help you attend a club, or just have a natter over a cup of tea.
Whether you need someone to take care of all your housework or simply to help you cope with it, a live-in carer will be able to ensure your home is always kept clean and tidy – meaning you can enjoy a truly comfortable and relaxing environment.
One of the wonderful things about staying at home for care is being able to enjoy your independence. A live-in carer can accompany you out of your home whenever you like – whether it’s popping to the shops, visiting a friend or going away for the weekend.
Your live-in carer will be able to prepare your favourite meals, drinks and snacks at the times that suit you, as well as washing everything up and tidying away afterwards. They can also prepare nutritious food that adheres to a specific dietary plan.
If you have more complex care needs, our live-in carers can receive additional nurse-led training that will equip them to offer catheter and stoma management. We can provide bespoke support for the most complex conditions, including types of dementia and cancer.
If you’re living alone, you’ll receive bespoke one-to-one support that offers practical help and valued companionship. A truly person-centred care experience.
