What is live in care?

Live-in care is a type of home care service provided to individuals who require assistance with various daily activities due to age, illness, disability, or other factors. Unlike traditional home care services where caregivers visit for a few hours a day, live-in care involves a caregiver residing in the individual’s home and providing around-the-clock support and companionship.

One of the main attractions of live-in care is that it encompasses a wide range of care services, meaning you and your family can have full assurance that you’re getting the support you need and want. The main areas in which a live-in carer will aim to support you are:
