What is live-in care?
With live-in care, a trained carer lives in your loved one's home full-time. It replaces the rush of scheduled visits with steady, continuous support from one familiar person who learns how your loved one likes things done.
The happiness and healthy living of your elderly ones are our utmost concern when they are under our Live-in care support. We are highly experienced in giving quality and outstanding care to our Live-in care customers aged and sick. We are always concerned about safety and comfort, and this is why you do not need to take your elderly ones to a nursing home or anywhere to be taken care of. Our Live-in care supports cover the whole of Wilmslow and the entire UK. Elderly care in Wilmslow is aimed at quick recovery and the well-being of customers. Being familiar with their immediate environment helps in quick recovery. This is especially so for care at home options for elders with dementia.
What a live-in carer in Wilmslow can help with
Support is tailored to each person. Families in Wilmslow typically ask for help with:
- Discreet personal care delivered with dignity and patience
- Medication support and liaison with healthcare professionals
- Home cooking tailored to dietary needs and preferences
- Keeping the home clean, safe and comfortable
- Emotional support and companionship throughout the day

All of our services are tailored to meet the need, the lifestyle, and the personality of the care receivers and those of the loved ones around.

Who live-in care is for
Live-in care helps people who want to stay at home but can no longer manage safely alone — including those with dementia, limited mobility, or complex health needs, and couples who wish to remain together.
What live-in care costs
We quote a single transparent weekly rate that covers the agreed care plan. For couples this frequently compares very favourably with two care home places, since one live-in carer can support both people.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Wilmslow
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's adult social care team. Means-tested local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare are both available depending on assessed need.
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.
