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.

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.

We closely match your loved one to a caregiver, based on their shared interests and personalities. We only employ people who have the skills and experience that have worked with older people to give the best care.
We let you decide the hours of work which will be when you believe you will need the most assistance. When not working their agreed hours, your caregiver will be able to rest, sleep, and enjoy usual activities of living at home.
There are many benefits of receiving care in your own home. Whilst your loved one is being cared for you can enjoy spending the time spending with them doing activities they love rather than worrying about household chores and physically looking after them.
