About live-in care

What it usually involves

A carer who lives in your loved one's home, usually for a few weeks at a time, helping through the day and there at night.

How a self-employed carer can help

One-to-one support that lets someone stay in their own home, with their own things and routines. Many live-in carers work in turns with a second carer who covers their breaks.

Questions worth asking

How long do you usually stay before a break?
Who covers your breaks, and can we meet them?
How much time off do you need each day?
What do you need from the room and the household?
Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask

How is live-in care usually paid?

Usually a daily or weekly rate, agreed directly with the carer. Put in writing what's included and how breaks are covered.

Is a full-time carer still self-employed?

Not always. With a live-in or full-time arrangement, check the carer's employment status. HMRC's free online tool, Check Employment Status for Tax, can help.

What does self-declared mean?

The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
