Live in Care Explained
Live in care is a personal and reassuring alternative to moving into a care home. It means a trained carer comes to live with you in your own home, offering full-time support that is tailored to your needs.
Whether you need help with everyday tasks, mobility, personal care, or simply someone to be there for companionship, live in care allows you to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving one-to-one support. You keep your normal routine, your own space, and your independence, with the peace of mind that someone is always nearby to help.
This type of care is often chosen by families who want their loved ones to stay safe and comfortable at home, while still receiving professional care around the clock.
Why Live in Care?
Live in care allows people to stay in the comfort of their own homes and provides a different option to residential care. With a live in carer, you can enjoy the comforts of home whilst receiving the care you need to help you with your daily tasks.

Your Preferences Matter
At Care Solutions At Home, we know that inviting someone to live with you is a deeply personal decision. That’s why we take great care in finding the right carer – someone not only qualified to support your needs, but also someone you feel truly comfortable with.
All of our live in carers are fully trained and carefully selected for their kindness, reliability, and understanding nature. We believe good care goes beyond tasks – it’s about building trust, offering companionship, and respecting your way of life.
Our experienced care matching team will spend time getting to know you or your loved one properly. We want to understand your routines, your health needs, and the little things that matter to you – from favourite pastimes to meal preferences. If you’d prefer a carer of a particular gender, or someone who shares similar interests, we will always do our best to make that happen.
Finding the right person is never rushed. We take the time to get it right, so that your carer feels like a natural fit – not just a professional, but a familiar face you can rely on every day.

We offer:
- Continuity
- Ongoing supervision
- Emergency support
- Regulated standards (CQC Regulated)
Our approach to live in care begins with an assessment to understand your needs and preferences. This includes a review of you or your loved one’s health, daily routine, and any safety concerns to create a personalised care plan.
Once care starts, we maintain open communication with you and your family. Regular check-ins and reviews ensure that the care plan continues to meet your needs. Our carers and management team work together to provide consistent support.
