Elderly care
Matching a live-in care worker to you
You may have reservations about the idea of a new person coming to live in your house. We work hard to find your the right person.
We match a care worker to you through a comprehensive assessment and matching process – done by people, not a computer. We take pride in our personal approach to arranging your live-in care.
We have a rigorous process to make sure we only recruit the right live-in care staff, rejecting many more candidates than we recruit. We look for hard-working people with a special blend of compassion, common sense, reliability and a great sense of humour.
What are the advantages of live-in elderly care?
-
- You get one-to-one, personalised support, 24 hours a day, to meet all your individual needs
- You can stay in your own home, alongside any family or pets
- You can keep your independence and continue to be part of your local community, with your social life and timetable
- The companionship of your care worker helps prevent isolation and loneliness
- Your care worker can support you to get the medication, nutrition and hydration you need
- Your care worker can take care of domestic chores such as cooking, cleaning and laundry
- Live-in care is proven to reduce falls and hospital admissions
- Peace of mind for family and loved ones that may not be local, knowing help is at hand 24/7

Why choose Agincare for live-in elder care?
What makes our live-in care service special is that we fully manage it. While other live-in care services – such as introductory services – are available, they offer less protection and fewer guarantees for the same price.
We go the extra mile. We employ and pay the care staff, which means we have a duty of care. For example, if your care worker is ill, it’s our job to find someone to replace them.
On top of all that:
- We are a family-owned care provider, offering reliable and professional care since 1986
- We are one of the largest care groups in England with more than 3500 staff providing a range of care services, including domiciliary care and care homes, as well as live-in care
- 90% of our customers rate us ‘excellent’ or ‘great’
- All our care staff are enhanced DBS (police) checked
- All our care staff are English-speaking
- We have a unique ‘person-first’ approach to care, meaning we take the time to fully understand someone’s needs and situation, so we can provide appropriate care
