What is Live-in Care?

Live-in care provides 24-hour support in your own home from a dedicated carer who stays with you. Unlike visiting carers, your live-in carer is available around the clock for assistance, companionship, and peace of mind.

How Live-in Care Works

A professional carer moves into your home and provides round-the-clock support tailored to your specific needs. They have their own accommodation within your home and work on a live-in basis, typically staying for 1-4 weeks before rotating with another carer to ensure continuity of care.

Unlike residential care homes where you move to a new environment, live-in care allows you to remain in familiar surroundings with your personal belongings, routines, and independence intact.

Types of Live-in Care Available

  • Companionship Care: Social support, conversation, and assistance with daily activities
  • Personal Care: Help with washing, dressing, toilet assistance, and mobility
  • Dementia Care: Specialist support for memory-related conditions
  • Complex Care: Medical equipment, catheter care, medication management
  • Respite Care: Short-term support to give family carers a break
  • End-of-Life Care: Compassionate palliative care in familiar surroundings
  • Couples Care: Support for both partners with different care needs

👥 Family Carer Relief

When family members can no longer provide full-time care due to work, health, or distance, live-in care maintains quality support without family guilt.

For those at risk of falls, confusion, or medical emergencies during the night, having a carer present provides essential safety and peace of mind.

Dementia Care

“Mum is thriving with Sarah’s care”

“After dad passed away, mum’s dementia symptoms worsened rapidly. We were considering care homes but wanted to try live-in care first. Alina assessed mum thoroughly and matched us with Sarah, who has extensive dementia training.

Sarah has been with us for 8 months now. She’s patient, kind, and understands mum’s routines perfectly. Mum calls her ‘my friend Sarah’ and clearly feels comfortable. The transformation has been remarkable – mum is calmer, eating better, and even enjoying activities again.

The cost is comparable to a good care home, but mum gets one-to-one attention in her own home with her cat. We couldn’t be happier with the service.”

Post-Hospital Care

“Perfect support after dad’s stroke”

“Dad had a major stroke and needed intensive support when discharged from hospital. The occupational therapist recommended live-in care for his recovery phase. Alina arranged everything while dad was still in hospital.

Marcus, dad’s carer, has physiotherapy experience and has been brilliant at encouraging dad’s exercises and mobility work. In 3 months, dad has regained much of his independence and confidence. Marcus adapted the care as dad improved, which shows real skill.

The family coordination has been excellent too – regular updates, care plan reviews, and they even arranged for Marcus to attend dad’s medical appointments. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and professional support.”

Couples Care

“Keeping us together in our own home”

“My husband has Parkinson’s and needs increasing support, while I have arthritis but am generally well. We dreaded the thought of a care home separating us after 52 years of marriage.

Alina’s couples care has been a godsend. Janet helps my husband with his medication, mobility, and personal care, while also supporting me with household tasks I struggle with. We maintain our independence and relationship while getting the help we need.

The cost was initially a concern, but when we calculated care home fees for both of us, live-in care is actually more affordable. Plus we’re in our own home with our garden and memories.”

– Patricia & Frank K. (Devon)
Care type: Couples care Duration: 6 months ongoing Setup time: 5 days
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Complex Care

“Professional support for complex needs”

“Our son has learning disabilities and complex medical needs including diabetes and epilepsy. As he got older, we needed more specialized support to help him live independently.

Alina found Tom, who has experience with learning disabilities and medical training. Tom helps our son with his diabetes management, medication, and developing life skills. He’s also great at encouraging social activities and community involvement.

The person-centered approach really works – they adapt to our son’s preferences and pace. It’s given us confidence that he can live more independently while staying safe and healthy.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Live-in Care

Getting Started with Live-in Care

How quickly can live-in care start?

Emergency placements can begin within 24 hours when urgent care is needed, such as after hospital discharge or family carer crisis. For planned care arrangements, we typically arrange placements within 5-7 days of your assessment, allowing time for proper carer matching and preparation.

Our assessment process is streamlined but thorough – we can often complete home assessments within 24-48 hours of initial contact, and we maintain a database of available carers across all our locations for quick matching.

What happens during the initial assessment?

Our comprehensive assessment takes 1-2 hours and covers:

  • Current health conditions and care needs
  • Medication requirements and management
  • Mobility and personal care needs
  • Home environment and safety considerations
  • Daily routines and personal preferences
  • Social interests and activities
  • Family involvement and expectations
  • Emergency procedures and contacts

The assessment is completely free with no obligation, and we provide a detailed care plan and cost estimate at the end.

Can I choose my carer?

Absolutely. We believe compatibility is crucial for successful live-in care. We introduce you to 2-3 carefully selected carers who match your needs and preferences. You can meet them, ask questions, and choose who you feel most comfortable with.

We consider personality, experience, interests, language preferences, and practical factors like availability and location when selecting potential carers for introduction.

What if I don’t get along with my carer?

While we carefully match carers to minimize this risk, personality clashes can occasionally occur. We offer:

  • Immediate discussion with your care coordinator
  • Mediation and adjustment attempts if appropriate
  • Quick replacement with alternative carer if needed
  • No additional charges for carer changes

Most placement issues are resolved within the first week through communication and minor adjustments.

Daily Life and Care Arrangements

What does a live-in carer actually do?

Live-in carers provide comprehensive support tailored to your needs:

  • Personal Care: Washing, dressing, toilet assistance, mobility support
  • Health Management: Medication administration, appointment attendance, health monitoring
  • Household Support: Meal preparation, light cleaning, laundry, shopping
  • Social Support: Companionship, activities, maintaining social connections
  • Safety: Fall prevention, emergency response, overnight supervision
  • Independence: Encouraging self-care and maintaining abilities

The specific tasks depend on your care plan and preferences. Carers adapt their support to encourage independence while ensuring safety.

Do live-in carers work 24 hours a day?

Live-in carers are present 24/7 but have mandatory rest periods:

  • Sleep Period: 8 hours uninterrupted sleep (typically 11pm-7am)
  • Break Time: 2 hours off duty during the day for personal time
  • Emergency Availability: Available during sleep hours for emergencies

For clients requiring active night supervision (rather than sleep-in support), we can arrange waking night care at additional cost.

Where does the carer sleep and eat?

Carers require their own private bedroom with comfortable bed and storage space. Ideally, they also have access to their own bathroom, though sharing facilities is acceptable if necessary.

Meals and refreshments for carers are included in your care package – they eat the same meals they prepare for you or can prepare their own food using your kitchen facilities.

Can I still have family and friends visit?

Absolutely! Your home remains your home. Family and friends can visit whenever you wish. Many families find that live-in care actually facilitates more visits because:

  • Visitors don’t worry about leaving you alone
  • Carers can help prepare for visits
  • You’re more comfortable and sociable
  • Families can focus on quality time rather than care tasks

What about my pets?

Most of our carers are animal lovers and happy to help with pet care as part of their general support. This includes:

  • Daily feeding and water
  • Dog walking and exercise
  • Vet appointment assistance
  • Companionship for pets

We specifically match pet-friendly carers to pet owners during our selection process.

Costs and Funding

What’s included in the weekly cost?

Our weekly rates are all-inclusive covering:

  • Carer’s wages and employment costs

  • Public liability and professional indemnity insurance
  • Care coordination and management
  • Emergency replacement cover
  • Regular care plan reviews
  • 24/7 family support line

There are no hidden costs or surprise charges – the quoted weekly rate is what you pay.

Is live-in care cheaper than a care home?

Live-in care often provides better value when you consider the level of care provided:

  • Care homes: £700-£1,200/week for shared care with additional charges for extras
  • Live-in care: £1,095-£1,395/week for one-to-one care with everything included

For couples, live-in care is usually significantly more affordable than two care home placements. Plus you remain in your own home with your belongings and independence.

Can I get funding help for live-in care?

Several funding options may be available:

  • NHS Continuing Healthcare: Fully funded if you meet strict eligibility criteria
  • Local Authority Funding: Means-tested support for those with limited savings
  • Direct Payments: Cash payments to purchase your own care
  • Veterans’ Support: Additional funding may be available for ex-service personnel
