What live-in care means in practice
Live-in care means a trained carer lives in your loved one's home, helping with daily support while allowing them to stay independent.
They have their own room and are there throughout the day and night for things like personal care, meals, companionship, and reassurance.
It can support older adults, people living with dementia, those recovering after hospital stays, and anyone needing more support than visiting care can provide.

Getting the right person in the home matters most.
A live-in carer becomes part of everyday life, so choosing the right person matters just as much as the care itself. We carefully match carers based on personality, routines, interests, and communication style — not just care needs.
Before support begins, we carry out a free assessment to understand what matters most to the person being cared for, including their routines, preferences, and the kind of support that helps them feel comfortable at home.
If the match doesn't feel right, we'll change it. Building trusted, long-term relationships is something we take seriously.

What families often ask
before deciding
Simple, clear answers to the questions families ask us most before choosing live-in care.
In many situations, yes — especially for couples who can share the support of one live-in carer. Costs vary depending on the level of care needed, and we'll talk you through everything during the assessment.
If the relationship isn't working, we'll arrange a different carer. A good match matters to us as much as it does to you — we'd rather get it right than leave anyone feeling uncomfortable.
No. Live-in carers are entitled to rest breaks during the day and a full night's sleep. For complex or high-dependency needs, we'll discuss overnight waking support as part of your assessment.
We have a pool of trained, vetted carers who can step in. We'll always let you know in advance and introduce any cover carer before they start.
