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.
Continuous care and support are needed to be offered to people who have Motor Neurone Disease as they may not find it easy doing some things on their own, most especially, running errands. A carer is required to be by their side to make things easy. Consider yourself as this carer who has a lot of activities to engage in during the daytime and nighttime, it may not be easy to execute every necessary care. When you combine these caring tasks with other engagements, you may be far from achieving many things as caring for them is important while your daily job may also be at risk. To get relieved of these activities, Live-In Care is all you need to have complete freedom. Even when you are away, a professional carer will always be on the ground to perform the care duties. We will offer you the best care for your patient while you watch them improve faster.
What a live-in carer in Coventry can help with
A live-in carer in Coventry can support with as much or as little as needed. Typical support includes:
- Personal care such as washing, bathing, dressing and grooming
- Medication reminders and working alongside GPs and district nurses

- Companionship, conversation and support with hobbies and interests
- Help getting out and about, to appointments, shops or social groups
Why families in Coventry choose live-in care
Choosing live-in care in Coventry means your loved one keeps their home, their routine and the neighbours and community they know — while having a trained carer on hand at every hour.
We are the choicest Live-in care company in Coventry and across the UK cities. As a Live-in with professional carers that offers first-class care, we are not limited to a specific service. For people who live with other health conditions apart from Motor Neurone Disease, you can check out the different live-in care services we offer.
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
Pricing is straightforward: one clear weekly figure, agreed before care begins. There are no hidden charges for everyday tasks, and for couples the cost is usually far lower than two residential placements.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Coventry
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 West Midlands?
Home care providers in the West Midlands 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.

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.
