Have support on hand day and night, in your own home

If you need support throughout the day and night, live-in care might be for you.

A live-in carer provides 24 hour care and can be there whenever you need help and if you have a partner, support them to look after you. 

Live-in care can help you stay in your own home for longer, but it will cost more than a homecare service.
