Live-in Care for Couples in Market Harborough & Oadby

Live-in Care in Market Harborough & Oadby

With live-in care for couples, a Care Expert moves into the home to support one or both partners, depending on their needs. This allows couples to stay together at home, whether one person needs extra help or they both need ongoing support.

It can be particularly helpful when one partner has developed more complex needs, following a dementia diagnosis or a stroke, for example, while the other does not need the same level of care but can no longer manage everything alone. It can also work well when both partners need support but want to continue living together in their own home.

At Bluebird Care, we support couples across Market Harborough, Oadby, Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Kibworth, Foxton, Little Stretton and surrounding villages.

Support available for couples with live-in care

Support rarely needs to be split evenly between two people. One partner might need help with washing, dressing and medication in the morning, while the other manages independently but still has the Care Expert there during the day, for company, a hand with the shopping or simply so they are not doing everything alone.

Meals are often shared together, and evenings might include whatever the couple would normally do, such as watching a film, doing a crossword or going for a walk if the weather is kind. Where both partners need more hands-on care, the plan can be flexible to make sure they both get the support they need.

Why families choose Bluebird Care

Choosing live-in care is a big decision, so you need to feel confident about who you are trusting with it. At Bluebird Care, live-in care for couples is planned around the needs, routines and preferences of both partners, with time taken to find a Care Expert who is a good fit for the couple.

We’re rated Good by the CQC, and Justine, our registered manager, oversees care standards across Market Harborough, Oadby and the surrounding area. Families also have a local team they can speak to if circumstances change, care needs increase or they simply need some reassurance along the way.

Costs of live-in care for couples

Because live-in care for couples supports two people rather than one, the cost is based on your individual situation. Our standard live-in care starts from £220 per day, with the final cost depending on how much support each partner needs.

For many couples, it can work out more affordable than paying for two separate residential care placements, as one Care Expert supports both partners in their own home. Once we understand both partners’ needs properly, we’ll talk you through a realistic cost for your situation.

How to get started with live-in care for couples

When you contact us, we start with a proper conversation about both partners, their medical and care needs and their day-to-day life together, so the plan reflects the real situation.
