Live-in care in Swindon means one dedicated carer living in your loved one's home, providing continuous support without uprooting them from the place they know best.
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.
Love for family is one of the purest forms of love which has no boundaries and is not dependent on an only external factor. Hence the pain of seeing parents become old and fragile is every painful. Even more painful is the realization of the fact that at this fragile state they need external help to carry on with the daily routines. Live in Care Direct has been filling out for such families for many years now. Live in Care Direct provides Live in Carers for the best care of the elderly at home . Live in Care Direct is an award-winning elderly care agency providing its service to families in Swindon and all across the UK.

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.

Live-in care is often more affordable than families expect, particularly for couples, where one carer can support two people for a single fee. We give you a clear weekly rate up front covering everything in the care plan, so there are no unexpected additions later.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Swindon
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 West?
Home care providers in the South West 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.
Is there help with the cost in Swindon?
Funding is arranged 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. Our care managers can talk you through what to apply for, and in what order, before you commit to anything.
