Live-in care

Your home, your care, around the clock

When ongoing support is needed, live-in care provides a comforting alternative to residential care. A dedicated caregiver lives with you, offering personalised care, companionship, and assistance tailored to your needs - day and night. With live-in care, you can continue to enjoy the familiarity of home, maintain your routines, and stay connected to your local community while receiving the highest standard of care.

What is live-in care?

Live-in care is a professional home care service where a trained caregiver moves into your home to provide continuous support.

This service is designed for those who need regular assistance with daily activities, but want to remain in the comfort of their own home.

Whether you need help with personal care, mobility, medication management, meal preparation, or household tasks, live-in care ensures you receive the right level of support while maintaining your independence.

Why choose live-in care over residential care?

Live-in care is a flexible and personalised alternative to residential care, offering one-to-one support in the comfort of your own home.

Unlike care homes, where routines and environments are shared with multiple residents, live-in care allows individuals to maintain their independence, stay in familiar surroundings, and receive dedicated, tailored support that suits their lifestyle and preferences.

With live-in care, you can:

  • Remain in your own home – stay in the place you love, surrounded by cherished memories.
  • Enjoy personalised, one-to-one care – your dedicated carer focuses solely on your needs and well-being.
  • Keep your routine and lifestyle – wake up, eat, and carry out daily activities on your own schedule.
  • Stay connected to family and friends – continue socialising and receiving visitors without restrictions.
  • Retain your community ties – keep visiting local places, such as shops, clubs, and places of worship, with support when needed.
