What is live-in care?

Live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to residential care, as it allows your loved one to keep control of their life.

If living alone or with a partner is becoming difficult, we can provide that little bit of extra support they need to maintain as much of their independence as possible. From 24-hour live-in home care to visiting care, we offer a range of tailored services.

Moving into a residential care home is no longer the only option.  Growing evidence supports that live-in care offers a better quality of life by allowing you or your loved one to remain in the safest place possible – at home. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or organising care for a family member or friend, live-in care provides everything needed to stay at home safely, regardless of health conditions. It is an ideal solution for those with complex health needs, providing both expert clinical support and vital companionship throughout the day. All you need is a spare bedroom for our carer and wi-fi access so that they can access our care management system.
