Live-in Care

What is live-in care?

Live-in care is a personalised tailored service, an alternative to residential care. A trained carer is matched to be a companion to your loved one to live in their home and help support with day to day activities. Live in carers can help with housekeeping, laundry, cooking, continence care, mobility and more. You may decide on the number of hours of care you require each day.  A live-in caregiver provides support and help where needed, but importantly they are available  day and night. You will have peace of mind that help is available in any situation or any unforeseen circumstances happen.

For those that need round-the-clock care and want to remain in their own home, we can arrange a team of carers to ensure that your loved one is receiving attentive care 24 hours a day.
