Live-in care, 24-hour care, and visiting care: What’s the difference?
Live-in care and 24-hour care are often used interchangeably and refer to the same type of support. In this arrangement, one consistent caregiver lives in the home, offering support across the day while taking planned breaks, so care fits comfortably around your loved one’s usual routine.
Visiting care works differently. Instead of a caregiver staying in the home, support is provided through pre-arranged visits at certain times of the day. This option is well suited to individuals who are largely independent and only need help with specific tasks or check-ins.
A live-in home care agency that actually cares
We are a well-established, specialised live-in care agency, offering outstanding homecare – the kind we would want our own family members to receive.
Our Founder, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring at home for an elderly gentleman with advanced dementia named Billy, at his home, Cheriton House, after finding a residential care home unsuitable. The experience inspired Richard to found Cheriton Homecare, a live-in home care agency dedicated to providing high-quality, personal care, with the needs of the individual and the family at the centre.
