Live-in care
A dedicated carer living in your home — a calm, one-to-one alternative to residential care.
"Home is where you've built your life. We help you stay there."
What live-in care looks like with us.
Live-in care is a true alternative to a care home. A dedicated carer lives with you, providing companionship, personal care, household help and overnight reassurance — all in the home you love.
We work to a two-carer rotation so you have continuity without anyone becoming exhausted. The same two faces, alternating fortnightly, are matched carefully on personality and interests.
From keeping pets, to maintaining a garden, to hosting Sunday lunch — live-in care protects the things that make home feel like home.
Everything in the package.
- Full 24/7 presence with a dedicated carer
- Two-week rotation pattern for continuity
- Personal care morning, day and evening
- Meal preparation and household tasks
- Companionship and outings
- Medication administration
- Overnight reassurance (sleep-in)
- Full digital care plan and family access
Typically a good fit for…
- Couples wanting to stay together at home
- Adults with complex or progressive conditions
- People who'd find a care-home move distressing
- Anyone wanting a one-to-one alternative to residential care

Answers to the things families ask us first.
Can't see your question? Our coordinator will happily talk it through — no obligation.
Talk to a coordinatorWhere does the carer sleep?
Live-in care requires a private bedroom for the carer, plus a 2-hour daily break — usually taken when family or a relief carer visits.
Can a couple share live-in care?
Yes. Couple rates apply, with the plan covering both of you.
What if my carer is ill?
We have on-call relief carers who step in seamlessly, with a full handover from the regular team.
