24-hour care at home, delivered by a live-in care

24-hour care means a dedicated live-in carer stays in the home, providing support day and night.

This includes:

• Personal care, meals, and daily routines

• Overnight reassurance and safety

• Medication support and mobility assistance

• Companionship and continuity

• Adaptation as needs change

Care is delivered through a custom care plan, reviewed by our clinical team.

This type of care is often chosen when:

• A loved one can no longer be left alone safely

• Night-time wandering or falls are a concern

• Dementia or frailty is progressing

• Hospital discharge requires close monitoring

• A care home feels too disruptive or premature

It may not be suitable if:

• Full medical supervision from on-site nurses is required at all times

• The home environment cannot safely accommodate care

A short conversation with a care expert can help clarify the right option.

Your carer supports daily life while respecting independence.

They’ll usually:

• Help with mornings, meals and medication

• Be present for reassurance overnight

• Support social outings and appointments

• Communicate with family and our clinical team

Live-in carers are entitled to 8 hours of rest overnight, with arrangements adjusted if regular night support is needed.

Live-in care is typically charged as a daily rate, not hourly.

• Costs usually start from £120-£150 per day

• Higher needs or regular night-time support may increase costs

• Often comparable to, or less than, residential care

We’ll explain costs clearly after understanding your situation.

• Doctor-founded care, guided by clinical specialists

• Careful matching to find a carer who clicks

• Custom care plans, reviewed as needs change

• Ongoing clinical oversight and family support

• UK-wide network of experienced live-in carers

We focus on care confidence, not quick decisions.

Choosing 24-hour care is a significant decision. You don’t have to make it alone.
