Live-in care across Ynys Môn
Anglesey is a large, rural island joined to the mainland by two bridges, with farming communities inland and villages all around its coast. Families searching for home care on Anglesey are supporting parents in Llangefni and Holyhead, in Beaumaris and Menai Bridge on the Strait, in Amlwch and Cemaes in the north, in Benllech and Moelfre on the east coast, and in Rhosneigr, Aberffraw and the villages of the west. Visiting care is stretched thin across the island. A carer who lives in brings support to any address.
We also arrange care in Holyhead, Bangor, Caernarfon, Llandudno and Gwynedd.
Ysbyty Gwynedd and the island's community hospitals
Emergency and inpatient care for Anglesey is at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, across the Menai, run by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. Penrhos Stanley Hospital in Holyhead and Ysbyty Cefni in Llangefni provide community services and some rehabilitation. A live-in carer on Anglesey can be ready for discharge, so your relative comes home to support rather than waiting for visits to start.
Isle of Anglesey County Council and Welsh charging rules
Adult social care is provided by the Isle of Anglesey County Council, which carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments. In Wales there is a weekly limit on what councils can charge for care and support at home, worth checking once your relative is assessed. Care services are regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales, and NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related.
Island life, in Welsh
Welsh is the everyday language for many older people on Anglesey, and being cared for in it can make a real difference, especially for someone living with dementia. Tell us if your relative prefers Welsh and we will look for a Welsh-speaking carer, and be honest if that takes longer. The carer can help your relative keep up chapel, the market in Llangefni, the coast path and family visits. You choose your carer from matched profiles before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Wales
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 Wales is regulated by the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's social services department. Funding is means-tested by the local authority, with the Welsh Government setting a capital limit above which people fund their own care. What a council can charge for the care at home it arranges is capped at £100 a week (2026/27); privately arranged live-in care is paid separately.
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.
