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.

Caring for elderly ones comes with a lot of responsibilities, most especially if they are aged and have one impairment or the other. Think of combining your daily office task with running around for the sake of taking care of your aged ones. This can be burdensome and may even lead to wasting much of your time. Families find these activities difficult. However, you need not worry about this any longer as we at Live in care in Burton upon Trent has got you covered for the wellbeing of your elderly ones when it comes to elder care. We take it upon ourselves to care at home for your elderly ones while you can happily get in with the rest of your activities while you watch them improving rapidly within their immediate environment.

Typical situations include a recent fall or hospital discharge, a dementia diagnosis that makes living alone unsafe, a long-term condition that has progressed, or a family carer who has reached the point of exhaustion.

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.
