What our clients say about us
Customised live-in care plans
Who is a good candidate for live-in care?
If you need support to live safely on your own, live-in care could be the ideal arrangement for you. If you have been advised to consider a care home or assisted living facility, then live-in care could be a much better alternative that will allow you to stay in your home. It is typically suited to those with mental or physical disabilities or limitations that could put them in danger if they were to live alone.
Every client is unique, so we always start by getting to know you and where you believe you need extra help to remain independent. We can use input from healthcare professionals, friends and family to help determine where you need support. This information will be used to create your unique care plan, which can be adjusted as your needs change.
Meeting your needs
What can live-in carers help with?
Live-in carers provide support based on your unique needs. This could include personal care, mobility support, specialist support for medical conditions and companionship. Your care plan is unique to you and your needs, and the goal will always be to help you remain independent while offering support in the areas you need it the most.
Personal care could include things like help getting dressed in the morning, or help with grooming. It could also include tasks around the house, such as meal planning, food shopping, preparing food and light housework. If you have pets, they might lend a helping hand keeping them healthy and happy.
Some clients need help monitoring health conditions, so their live-in carer will make sure they take their blood pressure every day and relay this information to a GP or nurse. They might also help with medication, making sure that you take it at the right times every day. Or you might need support with things like continence care.
Companionship is another key area where your live-in carer can provide support. If you are living alone, it can be a huge help to have someone around to share a cup of tea and a chat. Your live-in carer can also help you to stay connected to loved ones by helping you to get out and about.

Your questions answered
Live-in care FAQs
What is the difference between home care and live-in care?
With home care, it would be more common for the carer to visit your property on a specific schedule. With live-in care, your carer lives on your property with you. The hours of support might be the same, but you will have the added support of someone staying in your home overnight.
What accommodation does a live-in carer need?
You will need to have space for the carer to have their own room. They will need a bed and furniture in the room and enough space to be able to have downtime in their own room. Many provide a lock on the door so they can enjoy privacy.
Who pays for a live-in carer?
Live-in care is typically self-funded, but there is government support available. To learn more about what funding is available to help pay for your live-in carer, get in touch with our team today.
