What It Is

What is live-in care?

Live-in care is support delivered at home by a carer who becomes part of the daily routine and helps with day-to-day living. It can include personal care, companionship, meals, mobility support, and wider household help.

Families often explore live-in care when they want more continuity than short visits can offer, while still avoiding a move into residential care.
