What is live-in care?
Live-in care places a fully trained carer in the home around the clock. It offers the continuity of a care home with none of the upheaval — your loved one keeps their bedroom, their neighbourhood and their independence.
It is an act of pure love to commit yourself and your time to the care of another. Being the primary carer requires a lot from you, and it is undoubtedly a big task to take on. When things get too much for you and you need a little break to just care for yourself and your needs,Live-In Care Direct is here for you. With our expert respite care service, you as a carer get a time off while our specialist carers take up the reign. Our service can be employed for a few days or night or for longer. And you can rest assured that your loved one is treated just the way you would. We operate in all of Arundel and South East Regions of the UK.
What a live-in carer in Arundel can help with
Support is tailored to each person. Families in Arundel typically ask for help with:
- Help with washing, dressing, continence care and personal dignity
- Prompting and managing medication safely
- Preparing familiar meals and monitoring appetite and hydration
- Day-to-day housekeeping, laundry and shopping
- Genuine company — conversation, activities and routine
- Escorting to medical appointments and social outings
Why families in Arundel choose live-in care
Choosing live-in care in Arundel means your loved one keeps their home, their routine and the neighbours and community they know — while having a trained carer on hand at every hour.
Live-In Care Direct is a father-son company that was built from the zeal and needed to fill up the lacking space of carers within the UK. Beginning small, our company has become a renowned name in all of The UK for our various services and workers. We care for everyone and anyone with no restriction to age, need, gender or race. Our biggest success is within our elderly care services. We operate a live-in care service that is broken in 3 options for the user's benefit. We have the day time service, the night time service and the full-time service.
Who live-in care is for
We arrange live-in care for older people who are no longer safe alone, for people managing long-term conditions such as Parkinson's or MS, for couples who don't want to be separated by a care home placement, and for families who need respite from caring themselves.
What live-in care costs
Pricing is straightforward: one clear weekly figure, agreed before care begins. There are no hidden charges for everyday tasks, and for couples the cost is usually far lower than two residential placements.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Arundel
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.

Who regulates care in the South East?
Home care providers in the South East are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Live-in Care Direct works as an introductory agency, which means we introduce experienced self-employed carers rather than employing them, so we sit outside Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration. It is the model most live-in care specialists use, and it is what lets you choose your own carer.
