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

Questions families ask

Is live-in care an alternative to a care home?

For many people, yes. It keeps them at home with one-to-one help. Whether it suits depends on their needs, the home, and whether there's a spare bedroom.

What happens when the carer needs a break?

Usually a second carer takes over. Meet them before the changeover so it isn't a stranger arriving.

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

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.
