Live-In Care Services FAQ
What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a trained carer lives in your home full-time, providing personalised support and companionship throughout the day and night. It helps people who need more continuous care to stay comfortable, safe, and independent without moving into a residential home.
How does live-in care differ from residential or nursing home care?
The main difference is live-in care enables you to stay in your own home, rather than moving into a care facility. With live-in care, support is personalised and one-to-one. You also keep control over routines, environment, and familiarity. Residential care tends to be more institutional, shared, and with set schedules.
How much does live-in care cost / is it affordable?
Cost depends on the level of care needed (how many tasks, health conditions, mobility, etc.), region, and whether the care is part- or full-time. Many people privately fund live-in care, though some may qualify for partial funding or support via local authorities. It’s often more expensive than hourly visits but can compare favourably to residential care when factoring in comfort, continuity, and home environment.
What tasks can a live-in carer assist with?
A live-in carer can help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, mobility, medication prompting, meal preparation, and light household chores (cleaning, laundry, tidying). They also provide companionship, emotional support, and help maintain routines.
Who is live-in care suitable for?
It’s ideal for individuals who need help throughout the day and night, such as people with limited mobility, dementia or cognitive impairments, chronic health conditions, or those who feel unsafe at home when alone overnight. It’s also good for people who value staying in their home and maintaining a daily routine.
What should I check when choosing a live-in carer?
Key things to check:
- DBS (or equivalent background check).
- Qualifications/training (especially for dementia, mobility, personal care).
- References and previous experience.
- Carer matching (personality, likes/dislikes).
- What happens during out-of-hours or carer breaks.
- How the care plan is reviewed and adapted over time.
