Frequently Asked Questions


Live-in care is a service where a professional carer moves into your home to provide 24-hour care and support. This means that you or your loved one can receive round-the-clock care in the comfort of your own home. At Live-in Care Direct in Gloucestershire, our carers offer a wide range of support, including personal care, medication management, cooking and cleaning, and companionship.

Secondly, you receive personalised care that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Thirdly, you have one dedicated carer who can provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
