What is Live-In Care?
A live-in caregiver offers not only practical and physical assistance but also valuable companionship and emotional support. Our caregivers are handpicked for their kind and empathetic personalities, and your local care manager will match you with someone who shares your interests and preferences, ensuring a comfortable and supportive environment.
Are Live-In Care and 24-Hour Care the Same?
24-Hour Care
24-hour care is designed for those with advanced care needs, offering round-the- clock support. Typically, there is one primary live-in caregiver who stays with you full- time, complemented by other caregivers who assist during the night or when the main caregiver takes breaks or requires help with specific tasks.
Live-In Care
Live-in care is suitable for those who need regular support but not constant supervision. It allows you to have a dedicated caregiver living with you, providing necessary assistance while you maintain a degree of independence.
Reasons for 24-Hour Care
There are various reasons someone might need 24-hour care, including:
Complex Medical Conditions:
Requiring continuous monitoring and assistance.
High Levels of Mobility Support:
Needing help with movement and daily activities.
Intensive Personal Care Needs:
Requiring frequent and specialized personal care.
Reasons You May Need Live-In Care
There are various reasons someone might need 24-hour care, including:
Advanced Dementia:
If your loved one has advanced dementia and cannot be left alone, a friendly live-in caregiver offers security and constant assistance.
Physical Disability:
For those with severe physical disabilities requiring constant personal aid around the home, a live-in caregiver provides essential support.
Palliative Needs:

Enjoy your independence with the support of a live-in caregiver who can accompany you on outings. Whether it's a trip to the shops, visiting friends, or a weekend getaway, you can continue to live life to the fullest.
Dietary Needs:
Your live-in caregiver will prepare your favorite meals, drinks, and snacks at times that suit you, taking care of all the washing up and tidying afterward. They can also prepare nutritious meals that adhere to specific dietary plans.
