What is Live-in Care?
When looking for care and support, people often think that a care or nursing home is the only option. However, research shows that given the choice people would much prefer to carry on living in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Live-in Care is one of the most popular and cost-effective alternatives to a residential care home. This is where a highly trained Caregiver comes to live with you as a PA in your own home to provide care, companionship and support, and help you to maintain your independence and dignity.
Our award-winning training for our professional Caregivers will ensure they get to know you and provide high-quality, personalised care and support. This relationship, along with your bespoke personalised care plan, is at the heart of what makes Live-in Care the ideal solution for individuals and their loved ones.

How we manage your care
Following your initial enquiry, the first stage of organising Live-in Care is to arrange a care consultation with one of our dedicated Live-in Care Managers. This is where we gain a detailed understanding of your circumstances, normal daily routine, and interests.
Your care manager will then consider who would be the most appropriately experienced and trained Caregiver for you, to ensure we achieve the agreed required outcomes from the service and will be looking to match our Caregiver for personality and interests.
Prior to commencement of the service we will prepare a detailed personalised care and support plan which will outline all elements of what you can expect us. You will have a named office contact and regular communication to ensure we are continually reviewing the service meets your needs and adjusting the care plan as required.
All feedback from you or your family will be welcomed and carefully reviewed to identify and changes that would benefit you and our wider service.
