It’s not just the everyday care that makes such a difference to Mum’s life; it’s the little things that are always thought of. Mum has been out of her home more in the last 6 months than she has in the last 6 years. Seeing photos of her smiling face, full of laughter, tells us how much she has enjoyed the company, activities, and outings. We definitely picked the right live in care provider.
How thoughtful it was for you to send the templates of Van Gogh’s masterpieces for my wife to paint. It was so kind of you and whilst my wife can no longer create her own masterpieces, I know she’ll enjoy these, and they will provide some stimulation.

I am delighted to have found Live in Care, as the service they provide for my father is outstanding. This is evident from all the contact I have had with their manager, office team, and the diligent care and attention provided by their first-class carers. Their online reporting system is second to none, enabling me to know in real time that everything is in order for my father. I thoroughly recommend this company for their entirely efficient, professional, and empathetic service, which has removed all my concerns over my father’s well-being.
Knowing that Dad has two regular carers, that know his needs, preferences and little idiosyncrasies has given the family total peace of mind. This is what sets Live in Care above the rest of the companies we considered.
