Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What is flexible live-in care?
Flexible live-in care offers a helping hand right where you’re most comfortable — at home. It’s a supportive alternative to moving into a care home and is designed to give you the right level of help, without taking away your independence.
A live-in care worker stays with you in your home on set days throughout the week, offering consistent, one-to-one support. Whether you need a bit of extra help around the house, personal care, or someone to give your regular carer a break, we’re here to make life a little easier — and a lot more enjoyable.
This type of care is shaped around you. Your care worker can help with anything from daily routines to getting out and about or simply keeping you company. It’s all about supporting you to live the life you love.
02What is fully managed live-in care?
Our fully managed live-in care service means you can relax, knowing we take care of everything. From finding and training the right care worker to overseeing your care plan, we’re with you every step of the way.
Unlike introductory agencies, we don’t just put you in touch with a carer and leave you to manage things on your own. We employ our care workers, support them professionally, and make sure their focus stays where it should — on you.
When you get in touch, we’ll guide you through a free care assessment, then carefully match you with a care worker based on your needs and preferences. You’ll also have a dedicated care coordinator for ongoing support.
If your care worker takes time off or falls ill, we’ll handle that too — quickly and with minimal disruption. You’ll also have access to our 24-hour support line, giving you peace of mind, day or night.
03 How do I arrange traditional live-in care?
Getting started is often the hardest part and we completely understand. That’s why our friendly care advisors take the time to truly understand you and your situation.
From your first call, we’re here to help. We’ll talk through your needs, answer your questions, and guide you to the right care option from our wide range of home care and supported living services. If live-in care is the best fit, we’ll book a free, no obligation care assessment and match you with the right care worker.
The care worker will live with you in your home, offering personalised support and helping you keep to your usual routine. All we ask is that you have a spare room available.
Friends and family are always welcome to visit, and your care worker can also help you get out and about, attend appointments, or enjoy your hobbies.
When you’re ready, just give us a call. We’ll take it from there.
04How much does flexible live-in care cost?
Our flexible live-in care is one of the most affordable options available — without ever compromising on quality. We’ll match you with a care worker who suits your needs and personality, and tailor a care plan that works for you.
We’re proud to offer some of the most competitive rates on the market, and we’re happy to match quotes where we can. Every situation is different, so we provide a free, no obligation care assessment to help guide you through your options.
Get in touch with our team to find the best arrangement for you or your loved one.
05What is included in our flexible live-in care service?
Flexible live-in care is built around your life not the other way around. The support you receive depends entirely on what you need, but your care worker will always be there to help, 24 hours a day.
Our service includes everything you’d expect from top-quality care, along with some thoughtful extras that make a real difference:
- Trips out and about
- Gardening help
- Medication collection
- Pet care
- Support liaising with health professionals
- Help with shopping and errands
Everyone’s needs are different, and we’ll create a plan that feels right for you.
06Is traditional live-in care suitable if I need specialist care?
Yes, absolutely. Our live-in care workers are experienced in supporting people with a wide range of conditions including dementia, autism, spinal injuries, palliative care and complex needs.
We carefully match you with a carer who understands your specific condition and knows how to provide the right level of support. Our clinical leads oversee your care plan to make sure it’s safe, personalised, and responsive — especially when complex care is involved.
Your comfort, dignity and independence will always be at the heart of what we do.
