Agincare has done a very good job in looking after both of my elderly parents who had different types of dementia. They handled situations which could sometimes be challenging and could move with all necessary speed to replace care workers if someone had to leave at short notice. On the whole, the service has been excellent.

Frequently asked questions
Our traditional live-in care is designed as an alternative to a care home and is naturally the next steps for those currently receiving home care but looking for more consistent, full time support in their own home. It is also an alternative to going into a care home when leaving hospital if you want to return to your own home.
With traditional live-in care, a care worker lives with you in your own home to provide one-to-one, consistent support, 24/7. This service 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 traditional 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, your designated care expert 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 carer will assist you to pursue your interests and wishes, such as going on trips out and helping you attend events.
