Live In Care

Live in care provides round the clock support from a dedicated carer who lives in the home with your loved one. It is an alternative to residential care that keeps people in familiar surroundings, preserves routines and relationships, and adapts as needs change. Our approach is person centred and focused on dignity, independence and wellbeing.

What our live in carers do

  • 24 hour personal care including assistance with washing, dressing, continence and mobility.
  • Medication support including MAR chart administration and liaison with GPs and pharmacies.
  • Meal planning and preparation following dietary needs and preferences.
  • Household support light domestic tasks, laundry and keeping living areas safe and comfortable.
  • Companionship and meaningful activity tailored routines, reminiscence, walks and hobbies.
  • Complex and end of life care in collaboration with clinical teams for symptom management and dignity.

Typical live in care plan

  • Initial assessment : Free in-home assessment with family and clinical notes considered.
  • Personalised plan : Daily schedule, risk assessment, medication regime and goals for independence.
  • Carer match : We introduce a named primary carer with a trial period to build rapport.
  • Ongoing review : Weekly check-ins for the first month then monthly reviews or sooner if needs change.
  • Emergency response : Rapid adjustments to hours or additional visits when clinically required.

Staff training and collaboration

Our carers complete accredited care training and receive ongoing professional development. They work alongside hospice nurses, the community nursing team and local clinicians to deliver safe, evidence-based care and practical support. All staff hold DBS checks and follow strict safeguarding and confidentiality procedures.

Affordable rates and packages

We provide clear, competitive pricing and flexible packages to suit different budgets and needs.

All packages include carer accommodation and basic expenses. Additional costs such as specialist equipment, private nursing input or extraordinary travel may be itemised separately. We offer a full written quote after the assessment and can discuss funding options and local authority support.
