Why choose Live-in Care?
It’s no wonder people are happier and more content when they are cared for from the comfort of their home, after all home is where the heart is. Studies have shown that we feel most comfortable when we are in our home environment and surrounded by those we love and things that we cherish.
Independence
Live-in care enables you to live your life according to your own wishes in the comfort of your own home. It allows you to remain close to your family and friends and keep any pets you may have, whilst also maintaining any hobbies or other interests that are important to you.
One-to-One Live-in Care
Live-in care is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at home. With a dedicated live-in carer, you have personalised one to one care and support around the clock that can respond to any changes in your care needs immediately. One-to-one care cannot be achieved in any care home.
Couples can stay together
Whether one of you or both of you need support, live-in care can provide a solution where both of your individual care needs are maintained whilst still allowing you to stay together in your own home. It can relieve the pressure of caring for a loved one while not dealing with separation anxiety.
Palliative Care
End-of-life palliative care ensures your loved ones needs are met until the very end of their life. Being able to receive personal care whilst at home in familiar surroundings with an established routine can provide significant stability and often improve quality of life at the time when you or a loved needs it most.
Cost-Effective
Live-in care often works out to be at a similar or lesser cost than residential care when taking into account the number of hours of one to one care being provided, particularly in the case of couples.
Infection control
Live-in care involves not only the physical care needs of a person but also their emotional well-being. Loneliness can be a massive concern for those needing support with health issues. With live-in care, we can provide you with a sense of security and emotional support. Many of our carers become more like friends to our clients and reassure family members that someone will always be on hand 24/7 to provide help if required.
Companionship

Pets can stay at home
With our live in care services you or your loved one can keep their beloved pet at home. We’ll ensure your carer is an animal lover and they will look after them.

All our live-in carers attend full training at our head office to become proficient at Moving & Handling, Hoisting, Safeguarding, Medications Management, Basic First Aid Food Hygiene and Hydration. We also ensure that they attend regular refresher training events. We also invest in our carers and encourage them to develop their skills and knowledge.
