“Live-in care means having a fully trained carer living with you in your home to provide round-the-clock care, companionship, and support to enhance your quality of life.”
Live-in care is the perfect option for those who want to live in the comfort and familiarity of their home while receiving the care and support they need to live a fulfilled life. According to Live-in Care Hub’s survey, 97% of people given the choice would prefer to carry on living at home. This type of care enables you to maintain your independence, choice, and dignity while living a purposeful and meaningful life.
Live-in care can support you in the following areas:
- Personal Care- Assisting with personal routines such as bathing, toileting, and dressing, as well as medical care.
- Companionship- Valuable, friendly companionship ensuring you are never left feeling alone or unsupported.
- Health and Well-being- Including medication support, preparing healthy meals, helping with physio, mobility, and much more.
- Housekeeping Services- You can enjoy fresh laundry, delicious meals prepared for you, and having a clean and tidy home.

Whether it’s sharing meals, watching your favourite show, or enjoying a day out, live-in carers are friendly companions who accompany you in such activities to add fun to your life.
Avoiding Change
Live-in carers go above and beyond to avoid any change so your daily life stays much the same, and you don’t have to go through the stress of unexpected life changes.
