What is
Live-in Care?

Live-in Care provides continuous support from a dedicated Carer in the comfort and security of your own home. They’ll move in with you or your loved one and be there to help when you need them. We all value things about our local community. We all want a sense of belonging.

If household chores start to build or a medical diagnosis overshadows living alone, Live-in Care can bridge the gap. Our Live-in Carers work to understand what matters most to you, then help you stay safe, secure and independent in the home you love.

Neighbours for years. Allotment nearby. Local walks. Cheery postman. Cherished memories. It can all continue with Live-in Care.

Our 9.6 review score shows how our Live-in Care can make a positive impact on daily life. We always keep your loved one at the heart of what we do.

How much does it cost?

There’s no one size fits all. Costs vary depending on your needs. Our services are competitively priced and provide excellent value for the quality we deliver.

Live-in Care for couples can be particularly cost effective. We will be able to advise you of our rates once we have met with you and understand the services you require. There are a number of ways to fund your care –

  • Local council & NHS – you may be eligible for funding from your local council or the NHS after means testing
  • Benefits – there are also benefits like Attendance Allowance, which can help pay for some care at home.

To find out more, you can reach out to social services, local authorities or fund support privately with your own money. Whatever your circumstances, we can help work out the best way forward for you.

Chat with your local Alina Homecare Team as they can guide you on costs by talking through your requirements. You can also use our Costs Calculator.

Household Tasks & Home Support

Our Live-in Carers provide comprehensive household support to ensure your loved one’s home remains a comfortable and safe environment. From light housekeeping to laundry and tidying, we take care of the daily tasks that keep a home running smoothly.

This support allows your loved one to focus on their wellbeing and enjoy their time at home without the stress of household chores. Our carers work according to each person’s preferences and routines, maintaining the home exactly as they like it.

Going Out & Social Activities

Maintaining an active social life and getting out of the house is vital for mental and physical wellbeing. Our Live-in Carers can accompany your loved one on outings, whether it’s shopping trips, visits to friends and family, or attending community events.

With one-to-one support, your loved one can continue to enjoy the activities they love with confidence and safety. Our carers provide transportation assistance and companionship, ensuring every outing is enjoyable and stress-free.

Recovery & Rehabilitation Support

Whether recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, having dedicated support at home can significantly improve recovery outcomes. Our Live-in Carers provide personalized care that follows healthcare professionals’ guidance while offering comfort and encouragement.

We can assist with rehabilitation exercises, monitor recovery progress, and ensure medication schedules are followed. This comprehensive support in the familiar comfort of home often leads to faster, more comfortable recovery compared to facility-based care.

Daily Hygiene & Personal Care

Maintaining personal hygiene is essential for health, dignity, and self-esteem. Our trained Live-in Carers provide respectful, dignified assistance with all aspects of personal care, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting needs.

We understand how important privacy and dignity are during personal care. Our carers are experienced in providing this sensitive support in a way that preserves your loved one’s independence and self-respect while ensuring their safety and comfort.

Pet Care Support

For many people, pets are cherished family members and an important source of companionship and joy. Unlike residential care facilities, Live-in Care allows your loved one to keep their beloved pets at home.

Our carers can help with pet care tasks including feeding, walking, grooming, and veterinary appointments. This ensures that both your loved one and their pet receive the care and attention they need, maintaining this important relationship that contributes so much to quality of life.

Meal Preparation & Nutrition

Good nutrition is fundamental to health and wellbeing. Our Live-in Carers can plan and prepare nutritious, delicious meals tailored to your loved one’s dietary requirements, preferences, and any special nutritional needs.

From grocery shopping to cooking favorite recipes, our carers ensure regular, balanced meals throughout the day. They can also accommodate special diets for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or food allergies, while making mealtimes an enjoyable social experience.

Medication Management & Reminders

Managing multiple medications can be complex and confusing. Our Live-in Carers provide reliable medication reminders to ensure medications are taken at the right time and in the correct doses, following healthcare providers’ instructions precisely.

We can also assist with collecting prescriptions, organizing medication schedules, and communicating with healthcare providers about any concerns. This careful medication management helps prevent missed doses and potential complications, giving families peace of mind.

Live-in Care stories

Many people feel that having a Live-in Carer at home helps in more ways than one. In addition to the help they need, it’s also comforting to have company at home. The best type of care is the kind that meets the specific needs of each person. Your loved one can still enjoy life in the place they know best – their own home.

How to arrange Live-in Care

When you decide that Live-in Care is right for you, our job is to find someone who can best meet your needs and that you’ll really enjoy having around. All our Live-in Carers are fully trained and have the right personality to look after you or your loved one. Our specialist Teams are highly experienced people who can commit their time with undivided attention. Matching people takes time. We start by meeting you to learn more about you or your loved one. We take time to learn your interests, care needs and preferences. We try hard to match people with similar hobbies and to satisfy your preferences such as whether you want a male or female Live-in Carer.

We work hard to match you with a likeminded and compatible Live-in Carer who will help make life easier.

The first thing you need to do is find out what your loved one really needs. If they are in the early stages of dementia, their voice will be a crucial component of any care planning. Initially, they might need help with memory care, daily tasks or just some emotional support. When we have this information, we can make a personalised care plan.

  • Comprehensive assessment of care needs
  • Family input and loved one’s preferences
  • Personalised care plan development
  • Local support services coordination

Finding the right Live-in Caregiver is not just about finding skilled care providers. It’s also about choosing someone whose personality matches your loved one’s needs and likes. That’s why we choose our Live-in Care Team very carefully.

  • Personality and compatibility matching
  • Specialised care training
  • Detailed carer profile and introduction
  • Ongoing care package review

After your loved one is matched with a Live-in Carer, the care plan can start right away. Live-in Care can help with many things. This may be personal hygiene, tackling elderly loneliness or making meals.

  • Immediate care plan implementation
  • Personal hygiene and daily tasks
  • Companionship and social interaction
  • Peace of mind for families

Who can benefit from Live-in Care?

Anyone can benefit from Live-in Care. It can be a great option for people with different levels of care needs, including couples.

People already receiving care

If you’re already receiving Home Care, Live-in Care may be the natural next step if your needs have increased and visits throughout the day are no longer sufficient. We can give you round the clock reassurance.

People in a care home

Many of our clients choose Live-in Care after struggling to settle into a care home. It can give you the chance to settle back into the comfort of your own home, back into your local community surrounded by your things.

People living with a spouse

It can be life changing if a partner moves into residential care and Live-in Care can provide a suitable alternative. If a couple also have different care needs, Live-in Care can prove to be more cost effective.

People leaving hospital

If your loved one is in hospital, they may need care in place before they can come home. Care at home is therefore a great alternative to a residential or nursing home. If care is needed all day, Live-in Care can be a great option.

Quick Questions

What is Live-in Care?

Live-in Care means just that, a Carer lives in your home day and night to provide support in all aspects of your life. From support with your personal care, meal preparation and medication. Our Live-in Carers are fully trained professionals and deliver the care and support needed compassionately and respectfully. Contact your local Alina Homecare Team to learn more about how we can help you.

How does Live-in Care work?

We aim to keep the process of setting up care as simple and stress free as possible. To begin with, simply send us an email or call our Team. We’ll arrange a free home visit to discuss your needs and requirements. After that, we’ll match you with a Live-in Carer based on your preferences, needs and interests. We’ll also create a care plan for you. You’ll then start a two week trial and we’ll start making life easier for you!

What’s included?

Live-in Care can be whatever you want it to be! All of our Home Care services are available, including Personal Care, Domestic Care, Companion Care, Palliative Care and Respite Care. We also offer Overnight Care as part of Live-in Care. This could be a waking night or sleeping night service depending on your needs.

Is it right for me?

Ultimately, only you and your loved ones can decide if Live-in Care is right for you. For many people, it’s a great choice that makes life easier and fulfils their care needs. To find out more, we recommend chatting with your local Team to discuss your requirements and see how we can help you.

Can my Live-in Carer accompany me on holiday?

Yes, we would have to carry out a thorough risk assessment for your Live-in Carer before accompanying you on holiday. This is regulation but more importantly, it will put your mind at ease and enable you to relax and enjoy your holiday.

Will my Live-in Carer look after my pets?

We know pets play a key part in many people’s lives. Lots of our Live-in Carers love pets and will be happy to care for yours.

Is it suitable if I need specialist care?

Absolutely. We can include more specialist services for conditions like MS, Parkinson’s, dementia and more. If necessary, we can also arrange for a second Care Worker to visit and support your regular Live-in Carer with more specialist tasks.

How much does Dementia Live-in Care cost?

Dementia Live-in Care prices vary from provider to provider and can change based on the person’s specific needs and how much help they need. The place where you live, how much experience a Carer has and how long they are needed could all affect the cost.

At Alina Homecare, we’re committed to transparent and easy to understand pricing. We charge the same rates across all our areas for Live-in Care to give you a clear indication of what our care will cost. To find out more, contact your local Alina Homecare Team.

Is Live-in Care suitable for all kinds of dementia?

Yes, Dementia Live-in Caregivers can help people with all forms of dementia. This includes conditions like Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia, frontal lobe dementia and more. They know how to give care that fits each person’s needs.

A Live-in Caregiver can be in the home day and night, so your loved one is not alone. The caregiver can help with things like eating, bathing and other daily tasks. This kind of care is good for people in any stage. No matter what forms of dementia someone has, a Live-in Caregiver can give support and make life easier for them and for your family.

How is Live-in Care different from assisted living?

Assisted living is when your loved one moves to a facility made for people who need a bit of care but not all the time. In an assisted living facility, they’ll live in their own flat or room. People help with small things like medicine reminders or cleaning but your loved one is more independent. As people live together in one place, they share spaces like dining rooms and/or lounges.

This is good for people who want to be around other people or do group things but still have help close by if they need it.

This obviously varies from Live-in Care as your loved one leaves their own home, rather than someone moving in with them. Both care options are there to support with daily life. What you choose will depend on what you and your loved one feel is best and how much help is needed.

This can mean you may have less personal space or not have as much say over what you do each day. Both Live-in Care and an assisted living facility have their own good points. The best one for you depends on your own specific needs.

Is memory care a better choice than Live-in Care?

Dementia is a challenge for both the person diagnosed and their loved ones. Memory care facilities are made for people who have memory problems like dementia. People get special help there that they may not otherwise receive at home. These places have staff who know how to support people like this. They are trained for it. A memory care facility also keeps people safe. They are less likely to get lost. They get meals, medicine on time and care when they need it. In many cases, families feel some relief because they know help is there all the time. Memory care can give people with dementia a better, safer daily life.

Deciding if someone with dementia needs to go into memory care depends on what they need and where they are right now in life. Living at home with help is another way they can get care. With this choice, the person gets to stay in their house. They keep some control over what they do each day. They also get support services and people to keep them company through live-in care.

Can Live-in Care support all types of dementia?

Yes, Live-in Care can help people during all the stages of dementia. This type of support changes to fit what each person needs as their situation changes. It always matches the needs at every stage of dementia and helps people stay safe and as independent as possible.

Live-in Care often helps make life easier. It deals with both the feelings and the physical changes that come with the different stages of dementia. It aims to improve or at least maintain quality of life at every step.

Our Live-in Caregivers have the right training and experience to give high quality care. They go through background checks to ensure they are safe and trusted. Each caregiver also gets training in first aid, safety and help with daily tasks. Many have care certificates or have worked in this field for some time. We always make sure our team gets specialist training where necessary so that they know the best ways to help in a specific situation. This gives you and your loved ones peace of mind knowing your loved one is in good hands.

Our Live-in Caregivers also undertake training in Dementia Care and they keep learning while working. Their professional certifications show they have real skills in this work. We show them the best ways to help by teaching them good support services methods.

We also help them learn ways to talk effectively with care recipients. This makes sure they can give the right support services that each person needs.

Where can I read reviews?

You can hear first hand from many of our clients on our homecare.co.uk profile as well as Google Business.

How are Live-in Carers chosen?

Our Live-in Caregivers are recruited and picked with a lot of care. We look at what the person needs the most. Several factors go into this choice and our Team will ask about your preferences, daily routines and stage of dementia.

Caregivers who already know how to care for people with dementia are a good match. They get paired with the person based on their skills and how well they might get along. This way, both feel comfortable. Over time, the same Live-in Care Team will learn a person’s likes and daily habits. The person with dementia will feel safe and understood and the care fits just what they need.

Live-in Caregivers help people with dementia by looking at their specific needs, what they like and how they act. This helps care providers choose the right person to help and give support. It makes people feel more at ease with who is with them.

Do Live-in Carers receive dementia training?

Yes, dementia Live-in Caregivers get training to help people who have all types of dementia. They know how to care for those with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and frontotemporal dementia.

A Live-in Caregiver will help keep the person safe and feeling calm. They can help manage things like forgetfulness, angry outbursts or when the person gets lost or confused. Live-in Caregivers also help with the activities of daily living such as eating, taking medicine, getting dressed and using the bathroom.

A good caregiver understands what the person with dementia needs and does their best to make them feel comfortable and cared for.

Do I need to buy food for my Live-in Carer?

We typically suggest a weekly food allowance for your Live-in Carer. However, another popular option is to purchase your Carer’s food in your regular grocery shop, as it can be easier for Carers and clients to cook and eat the same food. Ultimately, it’s your choice.

What does a Live-in Carer need?

Your Live-in Carer will need a separate bedroom, clean bed linen and a place to store their clothes and toiletries. Internet connection is essential for our Live-in Care as it allows us to digitally monitor care and ensure you or your loved one receives the best service possible. There is no need to worry if you don’t have internet in your home, as we can arrange for mobile data to be used instead.
