Live-In Care vs Care Home
A Better Alternative to a Care Home
When looking for care, people often think that a care home is the only option. However, live-in care is one of the most popular alternatives to a residential care home. This is where a highly trained Caregiver comes to live with you in your own home. Our Outstanding Solihull office will support you with all live-in care queries.
Our Caregivers will get to know you and make sure that you receive the right amount of care, companionship 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. Live-in care is also usually more cost effective than residential care or a care home, especially when it is a couple looking for support.

Why Choose Live-in Care?
Personalised service – The client will have a dedicated care team focussed only on their needs, supporting all aspects of personal care, nutrition, and medication.
Continuity of care - A consistent team of caregivers will provide the highest level of continuous care, building positive long-term relationships.
Feeling safe and secure at home - We know that for most people their own home is their preferred environment, and this can be especially important in relation to supporting clients with dementia. Benefits to remaining in your own home include stability, independence, and comfort.
Keep up with their routines and maintain relationships in their community – The 24-hour live-in caregiver is there to make sure that life stays as close to how the client likes it, as possible.
Maintain control and independence for longer – A 24-hour live-in care service means that the client is involved with their care and can make sure that it is tailored to their needs.
Cost effective – Often, 24-hour live-in care is actually a cheaper option than a traditional care home, especially for couples needing support.
