What is live-in care?
Live-in Care Direct offers you trustworthy and professional staff to rely on with your aged family member instead of sending them away to care homes. Poor mobility and frailty that comes with advancing age can be dealt with perfectly in the comfort of one’s home with live-in care , while staying close to the loved ones.
With better and advanced health care system, life expectancy has increased. There are 12 million people above age 65 in UK. We get to keep our older family members with us for a longer time, but ageing and its consequences such as poor mobility and frailty are the cost that they pay.
Live-in Care Direct is an outstanding 24 7 caregiving facility when it comes to providing Poor Mobility and Frailty home care. We have experienced staff that has been thoroughly vetted for their ability to care for individuals requiring care from mild to more complex levels in the comfort of a familiar environment, i.e., their home. In addition, our staff is trained in companion care , personal care , respite care , and any other assistance an elderly individual may require.
How do you know if you or your ageing family member has developed frailty and hence poor mobility? Let’s go through the eight core indicators of frailty:
It’s not that tough imagining a person with such functional and cognitive compromises and understanding what they need for an easier life. Live-in care in the comfort and convenience of their homes is what relieves you from the constant stress and worry of a loved one, about how they will be managing themselves throughout the day. Because 24/7 home care is needed for them to lead a closer-to-normal life, where daily life activities and tasks happen the way they used to when the elderly fellow was young and energetic. And you must be willing to be there for them all the time for general companionship and helping out with mobility and daily chores; you have personal and professional commitments too.
In such a situation, hiring a professional care provider becomes a necessity: Trained, reliable home care staff who knows how to deal with cases of poor mobility and frailty in an effective way, both physically helping out with task and behaviorally, so that they don’t feel helpless, compromised, or dependent.
At Live-in Care Direct, we understand that frailty and things that come with advancing age such as poor vision and mobility cannot be considered and dealt with like a disease or pathology. And it gets worse when the older people in any direct or indirect way feel that they are being considered ‘frail’. Having said that, we make sure that we devise a patient-centered care plan considering the schedule and daily routine of the client. We provide intensively trained and experienced staff who makes sure the dignity of the client is intact. Instead, they try to make them feel in control of themselves.
We specialize in providing live-in home care services 24/7 for the residents of the UK. We provide specialized care staff for the UK residents who are living with poor mobility and frailty. And that too with customized care plans for every client that are finalized after intensive consultation with the client and his family.

Common questions
Questions about mobility & frailty care
What families ask us before arranging care.
Not seeing your question?
Our care managers answer these every day. A no-obligation call takes about ten minutes.
0800 368 8558Lines open 8am–10pm, seven days a week See all questionsHow much does mobility and care cost?
Prices for mobility and care start at £1,200 a week. That is one fixed weekly fee covering everything in the agreed care plan, rather than an hourly rate that rises as needs grow. For couples, one carer can support two people under a single fee. See our pricing page for the full breakdown, or use the cost calculator for an estimate based on your own situation.
How quickly can care start?
In most cases we can have a carer in place within a week. For urgent situations — a hospital discharge, a fall, or a family carer suddenly unable to continue — we can often arrange cover within 24 to 48 hours.
Who will the carer be, and do we get a choice?
You choose. We send profiles of matched, available carers and you decide, including a video call beforehand if you would like one. It is the same carer each day rather than a rota, so they learn the routine and notice small changes early. Every carer is enhanced DBS checked, referenced and interviewed in person before we introduce them.
What does the carer actually do day to day?
Personal care, medication prompting and administration, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, shopping, appointments and companionship — all shaped around the agreed care plan. The aim is that daily life continues as normally as possible, in familiar surroundings.
Is this better than moving into a care home?
It depends on the person, and we will say so honestly if a care home is the better answer. What live-in care offers is one-to-one attention rather than shared staffing, no upheaval from a familiar home, pets and routines kept, and visitors whenever you like. For couples it is usually far better value than two residential placements.
Can we get help paying for it?
Often, yes. Depending on circumstances and where you live, support may come through a local authority assessment, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance or a personal budget. Our funding guide explains what to apply for and in what order, and our care managers will talk it through without obligation.
