Live-in Care

The costs for visiting care can soon mount up, so it may work out more economically to consider live-in care. Live-in care means one of our outstanding carers resides in your home with you, providing around-the-clock support and care as you need it, without having to wait for a visiting carer to arrive.

Your live-in carer can assist with all the same tasks as a visiting carer, with the added advantage of being there overnight if you become unwell or your condition changes. They also provide continuous companionship, offering reassurance and emotional support.

By receiving care in the comfort of your own home, you can maintain your independence, remain close to your loved ones, and stay surrounded by precious memories and familiar surroundings.

Live-in care costs start from:

  • £1,500 per week for a single person
  • £1,720 per week for a couple

This makes live-in care a cost-effective solution for couples who wish to stay together in their own home and community.

We offer a full range of home care services, and our pricing is based on your individual needs—including support for complex healthcare requirements such as dementia care. The final cost of live-in care depends on the level of support required.

Our pricing is designed to be transparent and competitive, ensuring you receive the best care at a fair cost.

  • Level of care required – More intensive support may impact pricing.
