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.
There can be extreme pain after knee and hip replacement which can restrict people from doing certain things. If you have someone who just had knee and hip replacement at home, you should know you will be responsible for caring for them full-time as they may experience pain and difficulties in moving from one place to another, difficulties in standing, and other related issues. Once you have them, you should understand that you will also be restricted from doing certain things as well because they will require you to be by their side, caring for them from time to time. The solution you need to this is very simple - Live in care direct is the solution you need to provide every care they need, even when you aren't around. Our Live-In Care Direct provides care for elders and loved ones across Ceredigion and the entire UK.

Who live-in care is for
Live-in care helps people who want to stay at home but can no longer manage safely alone — including those with dementia, limited mobility, or complex health needs, and couples who wish to remain together.
What live-in care costs
We quote a single transparent weekly rate that covers the agreed care plan. For couples this frequently compares very favourably with two care home places, since one live-in carer can support both people.
