Live-in care is a type of home care which is becoming more popular by the day and our new Live-in Care Guide contains all the information you need to understand all aspects of live-in care and make an informed decision about your care options.
Introducing our new Live-in Care Guide!
Historically, the types of care available were domiciliary care where a care assistant would visit you in your own home, or care homes which would involve disrupting all aspects of your lifestyle. But the upheaval and distress of moving to the unfamiliar surroundings of a care home is not the only option available for full-time care.
Live-in care is a perfect way to remain living in your own home, surrounded by your familiar comforts and routines whilst receiving bespoke one-to-one care from a carer who lives in the home to provide care around the clock.
With our Live-in Care Guide, you and your loved ones can find guidance, support, advice and the answers you need.
