What Is Live in Care?
Live-in care means having a professional carer move in with your loved one, so help is always close at hand—day or night. It’s a flexible, personal alternative to moving into a care home.
With live-in care you’ll never have to face the day—or the night—alone. Our tailored one-to-one service will allow your loved one to be supported around the clock.
With live-in care, your loved one can:
- Stay in the home they love, surrounded by their memories and community
- Keep their routines and independence
- Share a bed and living space if they are a couple
- Reduce stress and loneliness, with companionship always nearby
