Live-in care is one of the most popular alternatives to residential care homes. Instead of moving out of your home, you can stay in familiar surroundings and let the support come to you. Live-in carers can provide as much or as little support as you need, giving you the independence to live life your way.
Live-in carers can offer one-to-one support, which means they can get to know you and your needs. This can make a big difference to your well-being and quality of life. Live-in carers can also provide flexible support, which can be tailored to meet your changing needs. If you’re considering live-in care in Rye, get in touch with Cheriton Homecare today.

If you're considering live-in care for yourself or a loved one, the best way to find out if it's the right option is to get in touch with us. We can have a chat about your individual circumstances and needs and advise you on the best course of action.
How long can I have a live-in carer?
There is no minimum or maximum length of time that you can have a live-in carer. The amount of time you need will depend on your individual circumstances and needs.
How is this different to supported living?
Live-in care is a form of support that allows individuals to remain living in their own homes, with the support of a live-in carer. Supported living, on the other hand, is a type of accommodation where individuals have their own self-contained flat or bungalow but also have access to 24-hour support from carers.
