What is live-in care?
A live-in carer lives in the home and provides continuous, one-to-one support. Because it's the same person each day rather than a rota of visiting staff, they come to know your loved one's routines, preferences and early warning signs.
How are you treating your elderly ones at home? It is that everything you do to keep them you are being forced to do especially when you are the busy type? You ought not to carry their burdens with a grudge because we are here for you. Allow us to do it and get a fantastic result within a short period.

We have been in existence for over a decade doing what we know how best to do. Our organisation is filled with brains all over the UK and Exmouth. Series of training has been what makes our carers stand out among equals. When you mention any of our carers, you talk about resilience, loyalty, cheerfulness, hard work, compassion, and precision among others.

Why families in Exmouth choose live-in care
Live-in care in Exmouth gives you one dedicated carer rather than a rotating team on a tight schedule. That continuity matters enormously, particularly for people living with dementia.
In order not to put our clients into unnecessary tension, we have divided our services into four places such as part-time, full time, nighttime, and daytime. All these are to ensure that they are well managed without any complaints and also to choose as their pockets and time can afford. As a result of our selfless services over years, we have become the name that is mentioned everywhere in the UK and Exmouth. Added to this are some awards given to us to appreciate our immense efforts to redefine society at large.
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 Exmouth
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.

Who regulates care in the South West?

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.
