Where we deliver live-in care across England
Live-in care provides full-time assistance and support to individuals with long-term health conditions or limited mobility, or who need ongoing support and companionship.
We know the majority of individuals would prefer to stay in their home rather than be uprooted and have to adapt to a residential environment. Unique Care provides support to families up and down the country, fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

How our live-in care in England differs from other care agencies
We differ from typical care agencies, as all our Caregivers are directly employed by us. We ensure the highest quality of care through our in-house training academy, which is consistent with our commitment to excellence.
Many agencies outsource work to third parties. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult to get the right support when you need it. Feedback might go unheard, or last-minute hiccups might mean a stranger turns up at your door. In the worst-case scenario, the quality of care may not be up to par.
We understand how important it is to find a Caregiver you can trust, and that’s why we’re proud to be regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
That means you can be fully confident in the quality of our live-in care service, from tailored care plans that are regularly reviewed to award-winning training on dementia care, first aid, medication management, and more.
When vetting
Caregivers, we are highly selective and hire only the best. To ensure we maintain our “Outstanding” CQC rating, we select just one in every 80 applicants for our positions, prioritising experience, compassion, and empathy. Just as important is that they pass the “Mum test.” If we wouldn’t trust them to care for our own loved ones, they’re not for us.
Why choose Unique Care for live-in care in England?
We may offer live-in care across England, but that doesn’t mean we compromise on care at a local level. When you choose Unique Care, you get the best of both worlds: the personal touch of local care from Caregivers who know their area like the back of their hands, plus the reassurance that comes from our success across the country.
Every Caregiver receives the same comprehensive training at our head office and is held to our rigorous standards, with care always overseen by experienced regional Live-In Care Managers. Whether you're up north, in the Home Counties, or live on the south coast, you can trust that you're receiving care from a provider that knows what exceptional care looks like and maintains that gold standard.
Here’s why you can trust us to provide the care your loved one deserves.

All of our Caregivers are rigorously trained on personal care, medication, dementia support, and more. This ensures your loved one gets the best care, tailored to their needs.
Regulatory standards
We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for safety and quality assurance, and rated “Outstanding” for our quality of care.

We carefully pair Caregivers with clients based on needs, personality, and mutual interests.

Family involvement
The best providers encourage families to be part of care decisions and ongoing support.
At Unique Care, our live-in carers’ relationships with family members are just as important as those with our clients.
