Receiving live-in care

Guaranteed high-quality care

What do you get with live-in care?

Round-the-clock care: Because your live-in carer will live with you in your home, they can support you at any time - day and night - in whatever way you require. This also offers valuable peace of mind to your loved ones. 
Condition-led support: If you’re living with a complex medical condition, a live-in carer will get to understand your specific needs and preferences so that they can always offer the right type and level of support for your condition.
Your independence, supported: One of the main benefits of a live-in carer is that they can support you to continue living life at your own pace and on your own terms, including eating meals and going to bed when you like.
A fully managed care service: Our live-in care service is fully managed by your local Helping Hands branch, meaning you’re guaranteed a fully-trained carer, full carer cover, all-inclusive pricing and the support of your local care manager.
Help maintaining hobbies and interests: Your live-in carer will be able to help you keep up all your favourite hobbies and interests - whether you’re a keen gardener, part of a book club, have a particular TV show you want to watch together, or enjoy hosting friends.
Friendly companionship: Not only can a live-in carer help you attend social engagements, they also become a great friend to many of their customers. All of our carers are hired for their friendly, compassionate personalities.
