What is Live in Care?
Live in care means having one-to-one support tailored to your individual needs and preferences within the familiar surroundings of your own home, enabling you to remain there and live independently.
What Is Live in Care?
Live in care support is built around your specific needs and wishes. Live In carers are carefully matched to you based on their experience, skills, training, qualifications, personality, hobbies, and interests. We want you to be involved in all aspects of your care from initial care planning to choosing the carer you wish to support you and we will do our utmost to meet your preferences. You will receive carer profiles to select from and we also arrange video calls.
When shorter ‘pop in’ visits no longer meet your care needs or you feel unsafe or uncertain of your ability to manage in between those visits, having a live-in carer will meet your increasing needs and alleviate any worries. Your professional live-in carer will be on hand to assist you during the day and available to call upon during nighttime hours.
Having a live-in carer is the perfect alternative to a residential home as it means you have all the support you need and want, at the times you prefer, in the comfort of your own home where all your memories are. There’s no waiting for your call bell to be answered when you need assistance, no getting up and going to bed at set times, no sitting in lounges with people with very differing care need or going to a dining room at a set time for meals with minimal choice. If you remain in your own home, it cannot currently be sold to pay for the cost of your care.
Why Choose A Regulated Live in Care Service?
In choosing a regulated live in care service, you also have the reassurance and confidence you need for total peace of mind:
- CQC Live in Care – A regulated and managed live in care service – we don’t just ‘Place’ a carer with a client as many introductory care companies do and hope for the best. We are on hand 24 hours a day to support your live-in carer and provide additional guidance if needed.
- Face-to-face care assessments are always carried out to create a complete care plan, leaving nothing to chance. Live In Care reviews are then regularly carried out to ensure that the level of service is maintained, as are the client’s needs and wishes, which is part of our Continuous Quality Improvement program.
- Their holistic approach to live in care provides the support that looks at the whole person, not just their physical care and mental health needs but considering their emotional, social and spiritual well-being – whilst also keeping loved ones up to date and involved.
- The live in care company that really cares and has been trusted by clients since 2014.
- All our live-in carers undergo a rigorous recruitment process, including training and enhanced DBS checks. But it doesn’t stop there, as all our live-in carers then receive placement visits, weekly calls, regular reviews and training updates to ensure they are CQC compliant and feel supported in the role they carry out.
- Many of our carers are also drivers with whom we don’t charge any extra for that privilege (just a tiny cost towards their car running costs if used in the course of the assignment)
- Couples can also remain together in their own home through our couple care packages.

The Benefits Of Live In Care
Caring for someone with a bespoke touch is at the heart of live-in care. When you choose to have a live-in carer for your family member, it’s not just about providing essential care; it’s about nurturing the soul of the person who means so much to you. Our carers are specially trained to compassionately manage and support specific health conditions such as dementia, stroke, MS, or Parkinson’s, but the beauty of live-in care goes beyond managing health conditions.
It’s about the carer weaving themselves into the fabric of your loved one’s life, learning the nuances of their personality, and honouring their daily rituals. Imagine their comfort in knowing someone understands exactly what their preferences are such as how they take their tea, especially if they’re navigating the complexities of dementia. Quality of life finds its footing in these tender, seemingly small gestures.
How much does live in care cost?
Our costs are dependent on your individual care and support needs and preferences. No two people are alike and whilst we can give you an estimated figure based on the information you initially provide at the point of contact; we will confirm our fees following an assessment in person and having met you. Live in Care is an affordable and comparable alternative to residential care for those who want to stay in their own homes, where memories and familiarity surround you, but you need more support than just daily pop-in visits.
