Live In Care Hampshire
Personalised one-to-one care at home across Hampshire.
- Family-run provider since 2014
- Fully regulated by the CQC
- Carefully matched live in carers
Care at home should fit the life someone already knows. Across Hampshire, that might mean maintaining a quiet routine in a New Forest village, sharing meals in a Winchester home or staying close to friends in Southampton or Portsmouth. We discuss what matters to the person before deciding how support could help.
Live In Care offers a fully managed service for people who need more assistance with daily life. Families contact us about personal care, dementia, respite and returning home after hospital. We assess the person and their home, explain the proposed arrangement and consider whether live in care is suitable.
What Live In Care In Hampshire Can Include
An agreed care plan can cover washing, dressing, preparing meals, medication support, mobility and light household tasks. A carer can offer company, help organise the day and support activities the person enjoys, while encouraging them to do what they can independently.
We consider the layout of the home, equipment, moving-and-handling needs and support already provided by relatives or health professionals. Preferences about food, privacy, pets and visitors help guide carer matching and daily routines.
A live-in carer needs suitable accommodation, rest and agreed breaks. Frequent overnight assistance or sustained waking support requires a separate staffing assessment; one carer cannot work continuously throughout every day and night.
Types of Live In Care Available in Hampshire
Families in Hampshire often arrange live in care for different reasons, from ongoing 24-hour support to dementia care, hospital discharge support, respite care and care for couples.
Arranging Live In Care in Hampshire
Arranging care in Hampshire should consider whether the person is in a city, coastal town, New Forest village or rural community, and whether support needs to work around family visits, community nurses or hospital discharge.

Supporting Families Across Hampshire
Hampshire families may be coordinating visits between coastal communities, the north of the county and villages where a car journey is needed for everyday errands. We discuss realistic arrangements for supplies, appointments and access to the home, without assuming relatives can attend at short notice.
The person receiving care remains central to decisions. With their consent or the appropriate authority, we agree who receives updates and how family help fits around the care plan. Relatives can stay involved without having to organise the whole arrangement themselves, and concerns can be raised with our care team.

Cost of Live In Care in
Hampshire
The fee reflects the assessed work involved, the number of people needing care and any additional staffing. A couple’s arrangement or frequent night-time support needs individual consideration. We provide the proposed fee in writing so families can understand the package before deciding.
Ask what is included, what accommodation is needed and which changes could affect the fee. If you are exploring public funding, speak to the council responsible for the person’s address about needs and financial assessments; funding should not be assumed.
Home from Hospital Care
Across Hampshire
A return from a Hampshire hospital needs planning around the discharge instructions and the home itself. We discuss personal care, meals, agreed medication support and mobility assistance, alongside any equipment or professional visits the discharge team has arranged.
Clinical decisions and treatment remain with the healthcare team. Whether discharge is from Hampshire Hospitals, Portsmouth services or another provider, care can begin only when the assessment, suitable staffing and necessary home arrangements are in place. Short-term recovery support can be reviewed if longer-term help becomes necessary.
