Next of kin to client
Our specially trained care workers live with you, providing one-to-one support and companionship seven days a week, in the comfort of your own home.
They can help you with a variety of daily tasks including personal care, cooking meals and engaging in social activities.
Your care worker is also a friend to talk to and is there to facilitate your independence; leaving you to focus on the things that really matter, like friends and family.
“Mum’s main carer is exceptional. She has bestowed upon Mum the greatest gift of all, helping Mum to be able to live in her own home whilst having care, companionship and comfort. Mum said that her carer is not just her carer, but a really good friend.”

Live-in care also supports your family. It reduces the pressure on those who may otherwise need to become full time carers and allows them to maintain their relationship with you as a treasured loved one.
A live-in care worker can also support those who require catheter care, stoma care or oxygen management.
Nursing tasks are not ordinarily provided by a care worker, though we can liaise with local district nursing teams to ensure your clinical needs are met.
Some of the key duties are:
Personal care
Carrying out a care plan
Companionship
Mobility assistance
Domestic tasks and errands
Medical support
Your care worker could help you with:
Pet care
Light gardening duties
Collecting medication
Managing your finances
Liaising with healthcare professionals
Socialising
Pursuing hobbies and interests
Shopping Days out
Travelling
Our care workers go above and beyond to deliver a bespoke care service built around you.
The care you receive incorporates a concierge service within the standard price. This means that your care worker supports you in all aspects of your life; helping you to continue living the way you want to.
One of our respite care workers will help minimise disruption to your routine and lifestyle at home, while your regular care worker takes a well-deserved break.
As with all our live-in care services, we can tailor our respite support to you and offer complete flexibility; meaning you can receive respite care as frequently or infrequently as you like, for any period of time.

We are always transparent on price and have an online cost calculator to help you determine what the cost of live-in care might be for you.
The cost of our live-in care services depends on the level of support you require.
If you have concerns or questions about the cost of live-in care and would like to know what funding options may be available to you, we can help.
You may qualify for some level of funding from your local authority or the NHS. State assistance for care is means-tested through a financial assessment by your local authority.
If your assets are less than the lower limit of £14,250 in England, then 100% of your care should be funded. However, you may be expected to make a contribution if you receive certain benefits or have any income.
If your assets are more than the upper limit of £23,250 in England, then you will normally be expected to pay for your own care in full.

Property and land (less any mortgage)
Property that continues to be lived in by yourself, a partner or dependant
