My mum’s got all her things around her, she’s got more freedom and 1-1 with the carers. She sleeps better, eats better, is more content and can go out when she likes.

Tailored care for your unique needs
Live in care allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving compassionate, one-to-one support from familiar Caregivers. It’s a more personalised alternative to a care home that helps maintain independence, well-being, and connection to their community.
- Personalised, one-to-one care:- Your loved one will have a dedicated caregiver who gets to know their daily routines, needs, and preferences so care is completely bespoke.
- Comfort of familiar surroundings: Staying at home means avoiding the emotional stress of relocating, helping your loved one feel safe and secure in the place they know best.
- Support for independence: With live in care, your loved one can continue to live life on their terms, staying involved in their community and daily activities.
- Lower risk of infections: Home care reduces exposure to infections that are more common in group living environments.
- Care that adapts as needs change: As your loved one’s needs evolve, their care can seamlessly adapt to ensure they always receive the right level of support.

How does live in care differ from a care home?
Live in care at home
24/7 personalised care: Live in care offers round-the-clock support to meet daily needs, while ensuring any health concerns or safety issues are promptly addressed.
Stay in the Comfort of Home: Live in care provides a safer, more comfortable environment at home, reducing the emotional stress of relocating to a care home.
Consistent Caregivers: With live in care, your loved one benefits from a dedicated Caregiver who knows their routines and preferences, ensuring personalised, consistent support.
Specialised Health Support: Live in Caregivers are trained to manage a wide range of health conditions, providing attentive care at home that adapts to changing needs.
Care home
Shared Attention: In care homes, staff support multiple residents, meaning individual support may be less personalised compared to one-on-one care at home.
Social Environment: Care homes offer a community setting where residents can socialise and participate in group activities, which can benefit those seeking more social interaction.
Caregiver Changes: Shift changes mean residents interact with different Caregivers throughout the day, which may make it harder to maintain consistency and notice changes in wellbeing.
Flexibility in routine: Care homes have structured routines to meet all residents’ needs, which can mean less flexibility compared to home care.
The Unique Senior Care team
We are a care company that specialises in one thing: people.
Everyone we deal with, office staff, Caregivers, are always so cheerful and friendly. We feel we are with a company who know us well, one that we can trust.
