Live-in care
Live-in care at home
A carer who lives in the home and gives continuous support and company, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Full-time care without leaving the place you love.
What live-in care looks like
Live-in care is for people who need support throughout the day and night but want to stay at home rather than move into a care home. A carer lives in the home, so help is always close by, routines stay familiar, and couples and pets can stay together.
Live-in care suits people with higher or changing needs, people who feel anxious being alone, and families looking for an alternative to a care home.
