People naturally feel better in their own homes, and our live-in care and nursing services give more people the freedom to make their own choices, and to live life their way.
Life-enriching live-in care and nursing
Live-in care and live-in nursing allow you to remain safely, independently and happily in your own home. Unlike residential or hospital care, live-in care and nursing fit around your life, so you continue to have the freedom to make your own choices, and the comfort of your familiar routine and surroundings. Our live-in care and nursing services also offer you the flexibility to adjust the service as your needs change – from short-term respite care to managing long-term care needs through to palliative and end-of-life care.
Why choose live-in care?
Going into a care home can mean an upheaval of life as you’ve known it. With live-in care, your life doesn’t need to change. Sharing your home with a life-in carer means you can be properly cared for, on a one-to-one basis, in the place you feel most comfortable.
Live-in care at home enables you or your loved one to remain connected with what’s important to you, whether that’s your spouse, family, beloved pets or community, continuing to spend your day as you wish. There are no set visiting hours, set menu or restricted activities. You can continue to make your own choices whilst enjoying the company and one-to-one attention of a live-in carer who has been hand-picked for you. You can build meaningful relationships with your small rota of carers, rather than being cared for by a larger number of sometimes unfamiliar care home staff.
Our live-in care services
Introductory live-in care
With our introductory live-in care service, we recruit a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of us. In contrast to our managed live-in care service, with introductory care, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce to you, and the carers are paid directly by you.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard. We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.
Live-in nursing
Our live-in nurses are fully qualified registered nurses, with a minimum of three years post qualification experience. They are carefully selected for their specific skills and knowledge and have a broad range of experience including community and acute nursing, and palliative care.

What our clients say
"All the carers have been amazing, kind and capable. The house is spotless and organised, and all the carers have embraced our aunt and uncle’s vegetarian diet, providing them with nutritious meals. They have dealt effectively with GP appointments, medication, and our aunt’s NHS carers and district nurses."
P Cross
The smart choice for your family
The cost of live-in care and nursing is comparable with that of a high-quality residential care home, especially for couples. Your home stays in the family, and you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have made the right decision.
The highest standards of care
We are incredibly proud of our 'Good' rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to our clients.
