Live-in care in your own home
Our live-in care solutions help older adults stay independent and comfortable in their own home for longer. By choosing Live-in Care, a dedicated Care Professional can offer the ongoing support and companionship needed to enhance your loved one’s quality of life.
What is live-in care?
Live-in care involves a specially chosen Care Professional moving into a client’s home to provide companionship and practical support. This enables older adults to continue living life and enjoying their preferred routines and activities, while safe in the knowledge there is always someone around when needed. With live-in care, families get peace of mind knowing there is someone looking out for their loved one’s health and wellbeing, even when they can’t be there. Live-in care helps older adults to:
- Access care in the comfort of their own home, rather than in a residential care home.
- Benefit from continuity of care from someone who lives in the home long-term
- Receive 1-2-1 care and personal attention from a dedicated Care Professional
- Enjoy having someone around to help with everyday tasks and offer companionship.

The benefits of live-in care
For many older adults, live-in care can be a life-changing alternative to moving into residential care. Some of the benefits your loved one could enjoy include:
- Staying in their beloved home without compromising on care quality
- Dedicated support from a Care Professional they – and your family – grow to trust
- Better affordability as an alternative to hourly care or a residential facility
- Enhanced safety and peace of mind, knowing someone is around at night if needed
- Reduced loneliness by having a companion around throughout the day.
If your loved one does not require constant care, or they would prefer more alone time, our day care options could be a better fit. This means a Care Professional would be available on and off throughout the day to help with daily living activities, but not overnight, which could make care more affordable.
Why choose live-in care?
As well as an older adult’s daily care needs – such as personal care or specialist care – having companionship, regular mental stimulation, and continuity of care is so important when receiving care in the home environment.
Just like our other care services, live-in care can be highly personalised to help your loved one live on their terms with a routine that gives them fulfilment and purpose. If you are unable to regularly visit due to distance or other commitments, our experienced live-in Care Professionals can make sure your loved one remains happy, content, and engaged.
