In-depth assessment
We map the full week, care needs, routines, the home itself and the carer's accommodation.
Live-in Care
Care at Home
Round-the-clock care, in your own home
Live-in care means a dedicated, carefully matched care staff member lives in your home and provides comprehensive support around the clock, a direct alternative to residential care that keeps your routines, your neighbours, your pets and your independence.
For couples, live-in care is often the only option that keeps both partners together at home, with one package instead of two care-home fees.
What’s included

Who it’s for
Stay home. Stay together. Stay you.
Live-in care suits people with round-the-clock needs, those living with dementia who are safest with constant familiar support, couples determined to stay together, and anyone who has decided a care home is not for them.
If needs are mainly overnight, compare our night care options; if family just need a break, respite live-in care covers holidays and recovery periods.
How it works
How live-in care begins
Careful matching
Skills first, then personality. You meet your care staff member before care begins.
Settling and review
We stay close through the first weeks and adjust the package until it fits perfectly.
