Live in care

Expert live-in care, providing round the clock support and comfort at home

Choosing to have a live in carer is an advantageous and cost effective way of remaining safe, happy and independent in your own home.

Our experienced care managers offer a personalised service built around your needs, choices and preferences. Continuity of care is secured through a dedicated team of a maximum of three regular carers. These carers work on a rotational basis, ensuring that each patient receives care from familiar faces who understand their unique needs and preferences. From the information you provide us with, Elderly Care Living will propose suitable carers from whom you can choose who you want to care for you. This ensures that your carer(s) will have the necessary skill and experience to meet your needs, share personality traits and interests, and with whom you can build a friendship / relationship.

What's involved

For Couples

Live-in care for elderly couples is necessary to enable couples to stay together in the comfort of their own homes. It may be that one of you needs support in providing care for your partner, or that you both require care. It is often a less costly option than joint residential / nursing care, and is a popular service for clients who do not wish to be separated when further support is needed.
