Viable Alternative
To a Care Home
If living independently has become unsafe, challenging, or isolating then it may be time to consider a live-in carer. It is the perfect solution for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their own home where they are relaxed and can live independently. Our live-in care support is an affordable alternative to a nursing or care home.
We encourage choice and respect the dignity of our clients, whilst being on hand to offer high-level professional support. Having care provided in your own home enables safety, feeling in control, and above all remaining in a homely environment. Live-in carers work to the schedule of your home and understand the nature of the role. Support is provided for you and your carer with our phone line in operation 24/7.
The Live-In Care Hub’s Research Highlights

– Individuals in residential care are almost three times more likely to experience hip fractures.
– 100% of live-in care clients enjoy the freedom to go for walks safely with their carer.
– Many residential homes restrict outdoor activities, with 30% saying walks outside are unlikely or impossible.
Benefits
of Live-in Care
Live-in care brings more additional benefits than just the practicalities. A live-in carer will become a friend who offers emotional support and who really thinks about what your loved one enjoys and helps make this happen. It could be preparing a favourite dish that your loved one hasn’t had for a long time, taking them out to choose things themselves, visiting new places, escorting to social events, helping with a puzzle or playing games, reading aloud together, playing and listening to music or watching TV together. Our warm carers build a wonderful relationship with your loved one and often are thought of as part of your family.
As well as remaining in the comfort of your own home, the family home is kept as an appreciating asset.
