Live-In Care Services

Round-the-clock home care tailored to your needs.

Sometimes, everyday tasks become too much to manage alone. That’s why we’re here to take care of the little things, so you can get back to what’s important.

To us, home is where the heart is – it brings a sense of familiarity, comfort and security – which is why we believe that everyone should have the choice to stay.

Our live-in care services are here for those who need dedicated, round-the-clock care and support for themselves or a loved one. We pride ourselves on enabling our customers to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving professional and compassionate support from our expert live-in carers. All our packages of care are carefully tailored with your requirements in mind and come at an affordable cost.

How can Abbots Care support you in your home

At Abbots Care we pride ourselves on our outstanding standards of care, strong family values and person-centred approach. And we are proud to offer a CQC rated Outstanding home care service, that’s secure, safe and preferable over introductory live-in options.

Our live-in carers can even help you access community services, attend medical appointments and help with grocery shopping, meaning you have peace of mind that everything is taken care of. That way, you have the time to enjoy the things that mean the most.

What is Live-in Care?

So, what is live-in care? And how does it differ to other care at home services? 24-hour live-in home care provides you with a full-time carer who will live with you to provide 24-hour care – whether you require it little and often, or you’re after round-the-clock specialist care for a complex health condition. Our live-in carers are trained to the highest industry standards to offer you a person-centred and professional service.

We understand that realising the need for 24-hour live-in care can seem daunting, but our experienced care advisors are here to guide you through the entire process. From your first enquiry with us, we will work with you to understand your care needs and formulate a tailored package of care that works for you or your loved one. We take into consideration all of your needs, emotionally, physically and financially, as well as any additional personal requests.

Care home vs care at home

Choosing live-in care for a loved one is an important decision that takes a lot of research, planning and time – and everyone wants the best of the best for their families. But you may find yourself stuck between choosing a care home or care at home.

How live-in care works

Our live-in care services are a practical alternative to residential care, providing you with the chance to remain in the comfort of your own home. With 24-hour live-in care, you receive the following benefits:

• Remaining in a familiar, comfortable environment, over moving to a new, unfamiliar one
• Lower average costs
• Continuing to live your life, with minimal changes and destruction
• Receiving 1-2-1, unique support that is designed to meet your requirements
• Choosing your daily routine, rather than adapting to someone else’s
• Keeping all of your belongings in one place

How much does Live In Care cost?

Funding care for a loved one can often feel daunting – and on top of everything else that there is to consider, finding the right care package can get a little overwhelming. We all want our loved ones to be cared for somewhere safe, secure and comfortable, but there’s no need to compromise on quality for the sake of affordability. Most people assume live-in care will be too expensive, and therefore opt to explore other options – but care homes aren’t the only avenues to explore.

At Abbots Care, we offer affordable care packages tailored to your exact care requirements. When you get in touch with us, one of our friendly and experienced care advisors will talk you through the different options of care that are available to you, as well as our live-in carer costs. We will work with you to build a package of care that meets your personal needs, as well as affordable payment plans, so you can make the right decision for you and your loved one.

Home care is typically considered as a cost-effective solution to residential care, but the cost of your care will depend on your location, the complexity of your needs and whether you require overnight or day-time support.

When it comes to home care, there are plenty of funding options available to you, depending on your financial situation – which will be evaluated by your local council. They take into consideration the level of care that’s needed which is followed by a financial assessment, or a “means test”. Your benefits, earnings, savings and assets will be analysed to calculate your eligibility for financial support. To find out more about the means test and your funding options, visit our page on Paying for Home Care.
