If you need regular, 24-hour support at set times throughout the week, then our flexible live-in care may be the solution. Unlike traditional live-in care, which sees a care worker live with you 24/7, our flexible option allows you to enjoy the benefits of consistent support at home only when you need it.

Whether it’s to give your regular carer or family member a break, or to have set days each week where you can get a little extra support to do the things you love, our professional care workers can help.

Flexible live-in care is the next step up from home care and can support a variety of care requirements, including for those living with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Cerebal Palsy, Learning Disabilities, and more including complex conditions

Complex care

Our support is overseen by our clinical leads who ensures our team members have the best possible bespoke training to understand your needs and conditions and serve as your point of contact throughout the process of arranging care.

Premium service

Our flexible live-in care includes a premium service within the standard cost of live-in care.

How it works

Frequently asked questions

Our flexible live-in care is designed as an alternative to a care home and bridges the gap between home care and residential support.

With flexible live-in care, a care worker lives with you in your own home on set days each week to provide one-to-one, consistent support, 24/7. This could be to give your regular care worker or family member a well-deserved break, or to give you a little extra support doing the things you love. Many of those drawing on our service enjoy trips out and even holidays supported by one of our professional live-in care workers.

Flexible live-in care is bespoke to you and can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Whether you require personal care, support with household tasks, or help getting out and about, your live-in care worker will be on hand to support you in living as independently as possible.

Our flexible live-in care service is fully managed, meaning we take care of everything. This includes coordination of your care, matching an experienced live-in care worker to you, and paying your care worker’s wages. All this is included in a single weekly fee.

Unlike an introductory agency which will simply put you in touch with a self-employed care worker, we employ, train and pay our teams. This means we have a duty of care to you and we will support you throughout the process. When you enquire, we will help you book your free, no obligation care assessment before creating a care plan tailored to your specific needs. We will also match a care worker to you based on your needs and preferences and assign a care coordinator who will oversee your care.

Should your care worker fall ill or go on holiday, we will find someone to replace them and also provide a 24-hour emergency call line for when you or your care worker need additional support. Our fully managed traditional live-in care is also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, giving you a higher level of protection and assurance than an introductory agency.

The biggest step in arranging care is often getting started. We know how difficult it can be to pick up the phone without truly understanding what you need or what may be available. That’s why we have a team of expert care advisors who take time to get to know you, your needs, hobbies and interests.

From the moment you enquire, they will support you throughout the whole process, helping you find the best care option from our wide range of home care, care homes, live-in care and supported living services. Once you have chosen a service, they will book your free, no obligation care assessment. This will allow us to give you an exact quote and match a care worker to you.

The live-in care worker will come and live with you in your own home. You must have a spare bedroom available for them. They will be on hand to provide tailored support that enables you to maintain your normal routine.

Friends and family can continue to visit whenever you want and your live-in care worker will assist you to pursue your interests and wishes, such as going on trips out and helping you attend events.

Our flexible live-in care is an affordable alternative to a care home that offers added support from a consistent care worker matched to you based on your needs and preferences.

The cost of our fully managed, flexible live-in care starts from £695 per week depending on the level of care and number of hours required. This is significantly less than the cost of a care home, where prices start at £950 per week. An exact quote on the cost of live-in care is dependent on a free, no obligation care assessment. Contact our team of care experts today to get started.

The type of care your live-in care worker supports you with depends entirely on you. Your care worker will be on hand 24 hours a day, but the actual care and support they provide is tailored to your care requirements. Everyone is different, so each of our care packages is different too.

Our live-in care also comes with a premium service included within the standard price. This includes additional support such as:

Taking service users on days out
Gardening
Collecting medication
Pet care
Liaising with health care professionals
Shopping

Yes, absolutely. Our live-in care team have a range of experience and specialisms, including dementia, palliative care and end-of-life care.


We will match you to a live-in carer who is right for you and your care needs. We have clinical leads who ensures your live-in care worker receives the best possible bespoke training and able to support you, even where complex conditions are involved.
