Live-in Care
More than care. A familiar companion, a comfortable home and a week shaped around you.
Our live-in care service brings personalised help and companionship into the home you know and love. We want you to feel listened to, comfortable and free to enjoy the routines, people and activities that make life yours.
A live-in carer stays in your home and provides agreed support throughout the day, with appropriate breaks and rest. If continuous waking care or substantial overnight assistance is needed, we discuss additional arrangements.
A home that still feels like your home
Inviting someone to live in your home is a big decision. Our aim is to introduce a friendly, considerate carer who understands your preferences, respects your personal space and builds trust over time.
You might enjoy a quiet breakfast, a chat over a cup of tea, a favourite television show or an afternoon with family. You should feel able to ask for help, share your ideas and make everyday choices without feeling watched or directed.
We discuss carer matching, communication, interests and routines with you. We also encourage you to tell us what is working well and what you would like changed.
Three ways we support your life
Companionship & Connection
A live-in carer should feel like a welcome, familiar companion—not someone taking over your home. We take time to understand your personality, interests and preferences so conversation and shared activities feel natural.
Whether you enjoy chatting over tea, watching a favourite programme, gardening, music or visiting relatives, your care plan can reflect the things that bring you happiness and connection.
Personal Support, Your Way
Your carer can help with washing, dressing, meals, mobility, medication support and household routines according to your assessed needs and agreed care plan. Just as importantly, they respect your privacy, choices and independence.
You remain in control of your home and daily routine. We discuss how you like things done, when you prefer quiet time and where you want encouragement rather than hands-on help.
A Whole-Week Care Plan
We look beyond individual tasks to the rhythm of your entire week. Your plan can include favourite outings, social occasions, appointments, family visits, faith activities and time to relax at home.
We plan around your interests and the practical support available, while allowing flexibility for changes in mood, energy, health or plans. Package arrangements and any additional support are agreed through assessment.
Your whole week, planned around you
Live-in care is different from a short daily visit. We take the time to learn what a fulfilling week looks like for you, and build a flexible plan around your preferred activities and support needs.
An example week might look like this:
Monday
A relaxed start, a favourite hobby and a friendly catch-up.
Tuesday
Shopping, a local outing or meeting a friend.
Wednesday
Lunch at a café or dinner with family.
Thursday
Gardening, time on the terrace or a gentle walk.
Friday
A favourite TV programme, music or an evening activity.
Saturday
A family visit, celebration, concert or community event.
Sunday
Church, another faith activity or a restful day at home.
This is an illustration, not a fixed timetable. We agree activities, travel and support requirements with you, considering your wishes, safety, carer rest time and any additional costs or staffing needs.
Continuity with a familiar carer
Getting to know each other makes everyday support feel more natural and comfortable.
We aim to provide one consistent live-in carer for at least a week at a time, rather than changing carers frequently. This gives you time to build a comfortable relationship and helps your carer learn your habits, routines and preferences.
If you would prefer a different carer or an alternative arrangement, please tell us. Changes can also be necessary for leave, sickness, suitability or other practical reasons, and we will discuss arrangements with you.

How we arrange your live-in care
- Listen: We discuss your needs, interests, preferences and what makes you feel comfortable at home.
- Assess: We consider your support requirements, home arrangements, risks and the carer’s accommodation and rest needs.
- Plan: Together we agree daily support and a flexible weekly activity plan.
- Match: We aim to find a carer whose approach and personality suit you.
- Review: We keep in touch and discuss adjustments if your needs or preferences change.
An important note about 24-hour presence
A live-in carer lives in the home, but this does not mean one person works continuously for 24 hours. Carers require adequate sleep, rest and breaks. Where regular waking-night care, intensive supervision or two-person assistance is required, we will assess whether additional or alternative support is appropriate.
