Live-in care in Gloucestershire
Exceptional live-in care since 1962
Live-in care is care provided by highly trained live-in carers who stay with the person receiving care in their own home, remaining on-hand to provide professional, bespoke care around-the-clock. This type of care is ideal for people who need support with the activities and tasks of daily life, care with health or complex conditions that impact their ability to live independently, or simply for someone who needs companionship and social support.
Because live-in care and nursing fit around your life, you can stay connected with what’s important to you, whether that’s your family, friends and community, pets, or the activities you enjoy.
About Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire, with its rolling Cotswold hills, historic market towns, and vibrant city life in Gloucester and Cheltenham, is a county rich in heritage and natural beauty. Its strong sense of community makes it an ideal place to receive live-in care, allowing individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes while staying connected to the places and people they love. Whether enjoying peaceful countryside walks, exploring local history, or simply embracing the familiar surroundings of home, live-in care in Gloucestershire offers personalised support while preserving independence and quality of life.
Our live-in care services in Gloucestershire
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.

Why choose live-in care in Gloucestershire?
Moving into a care home can be a significant upheaval, but with live-in care in Gloucestershire, your life doesn’t have to change. A dedicated live-in carer provides one-to-one support in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to remain in familiar surroundings.
Live-in care enables you or your loved one to stay connected to what matters most - whether that’s your spouse, family, pets, or community. There are no restricted visiting hours, no set menus, and no limitations on daily activities. Instead, you have the freedom to maintain your routine while benefiting from the companionship and tailored support of a live-in carer who has been carefully matched to your needs.
Benefits of live-in care in Gloucestershire
Live-in care offers a highly personalised approach to your care needs, helping you or your loved one remain at home and avoid the need for residential care.
For couples, live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to a care home, allowing you to stay together whilst receiving personalised care from the same carer. As care needs change over time, live-in care also provides flexibility and continuity, ensuring you always have the right level of support.
Who can benefit from live-in care in Gloucestershire?
There are many reasons why people choose live-in care for themselves or their loved ones. Some of the reasons for choosing live-in care include:
Frailty
As we age, frailty can increase fall risks and make daily tasks challenging. A live-in carer can assist with mobility, meal preparation, and housework.
Specialist condition care
If your loved one is living with a specialist condition, like dementia or Parkinson's a compassionate live-in carer can provide the necessary support and ensure their safety at all times. They can help manage daily routines and offer emotional companionship. Live-in care is particularly beneficial for those living with dementia, as it allows them to remain in a familiar environment.
Physical disability
A live-in carer can provide dedicated support, assisting with mobility, personal needs, and household tasks.
Isolation
If you or a loved one in Gloucestershire lives alone without family support, a live-in carer can offer essential companionship and assistance instead.
Palliative / end-of-life care
After a terminal illness or progressive disease diagnosis, our Gloucestershire live-in carers offer respectful, round-the-clock support to manage symptoms and prioritise comfort.
Cost of live-in care in Gloucestershire
We understand that choosing live-in care is a big decision, and that it will be important to you that you understand the cost of this highly personalised service. The cost of live-in care varies considerably depending on the level of support needed, and the type of service you choose.
We are committed to providing clear and transparent pricing, and we tailor our services to you to ensure that you are happy that you are enjoying both exceptional quality and value.
