What is live-in care?
Live-in care is when a carer moves into a service user`s home and this enables the Service user to stay at home in their familiar and relaxed surroundings with a bespoke level of one-to-one support.
One of the main benefits of live-in care is that it helps service users to retain as much independence and dignity as possible whilst safely receiving an individual-tailored service to their specific needs.
Another benefit is, that our carers will assist the Service Users in all areas where it is needed the most, i.e. personal care (showering, dressing, toileting) Household activities (laundry, ironing, dusting, and light cleaning)
Live-in care is a far less costly alternative to assisted living and nursing home facilities.

Having a live-in carer can make a real difference to your loved one's quality of life, and it can allow you to relax, knowing they are safe. Up to 12 hours (09:00 to 23:00 including 2 hours uninterrupted break) care at home is the most common alternative to a care home. It is a personalised home care service that allows you or your loved one to receive tailored support that matches their current lifestyle and routine with round-the-clock live in care readiness, full control and independence One-to-one support, feeling safe in your own home, nutritious meals every day etc. Whilst residential homes can offer a good quality of care, for most people the benefits of staying in their own home are clearly preferable.
