When being alone is no longer safe, live-in care is usually the alternative to a residential home — and for most families it is the one they would prefer.
A caregiver is in the house around the clock, working on a rota so that cover never lapses. Your loved one keeps their home, their routine and their independence, with support available the moment it is needed.
Live-in care covers everything in a personal care plan, plus continuous presence and supervision.
Someone awake or on call through the night, including help to the bathroom.
No waiting hours on the floor for the next scheduled visit.
Washing, dressing, toileting and mobility support throughout the day.
Cooking, laundry and keeping the home safe and comfortable.
A small, consistent team rather than a stream of strangers.
