What is Live In Care?

Live in care offers a dedicated professional who stays in your loved one’s home, providing personalised care 24-hours a day. This level of dedicated support allows your loved one to remain living independently in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Delivered by our professional and dedicated carers, it’s far more than practical assistance. It’s about preserving personal choice and peace of mind.   

Unlike alternative care options, live-in care allows your loved one to maintain familiar routines, surroundings, and a greater sense of dignity. Everyone deserves the opportunity to receive the care they need, in a way that suits them. At Abbots Care, home is where the heart is, and we’ve made it our mission to support people in the space they’re most comfortable.

How Does Live In Care Work

Inviting a carer to live in your home is a big decision, and our team is here to make the process feel simple and supportive from the very start. Our live-in carers fit seamlessly into your everyday life, offering tailored support which prioritises your loved one’s comfort, dignity, and independence.  

Integration Into Your Home 

A live in carer becomes a gentle, reassuring presence in your home; someone who is not just there to support, but to truly understand your loved one. They’ll live in their own room and learn about the intricacies of your family to fit into the natural, daily rhythm of your household. They always respect personal space and the unique dynamics that make your home feel like home. 

A lot of families tell us that their loved one’s carer feels like “one of the family”. They become a familiar face and a trusted companion bringing warmth and continuity to each day. This close, consistent relationship is at the heart of dignified and genuinely person-centred support. 

Personalised Care Planning 

Before a carer moves into your home, we make sure we take the time to get to know you and your loved one. They will build an understanding of everything that makes them tick, from their health, personality, daily routines, preferences, hobbies, to what gives them a sense of comfort or joy. 

Together, we build a detailed care plan covering everything from medication schedules and mobility support to favourite meals and daily activities. Whether your loved one enjoys a quiet morning coffee or an afternoon stroll, their routine becomes our routine. This personalised planning means the round-the-clock support feels natural, unobtrusive, and genuinely helpful from day one.  

Day-to-day Life with a Live In Carer  

Live-in care provides continuous support throughout the day and night. Our carers help with a wide variety of tasks that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. This can include: 

Morning routines: Getting up, washing, getting dressed, and preparing breakfast. 

Daily living: Housekeeping, laundry, meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, errands, and supporting hobbies and activities in the house. 

Wellbeing: Companionship, conversation, helping with social interaction, supporting with community-based activities, and emotional reassurance 

Mobility support: Safe movement around the home, fall prevention strategies, support with physio exercises, support with mobility aids, assistance transferring from beds, chairs or wheelchairs. 

Medication management: Organising daily or weekly medication, administering prescribed doses, monitoring side effects, and liaising with health professionals about any concerns. 

Evening & overnight care: Preparing dinner, organising the home for the night, getting changed into sleepwear, establishing comforting sleep routines for those who struggle with sleeping, overnight monitoring and assistance if your loved one gets up or needs nighttime assistance. 

All carers undergo rigorous background checks, extensive training, and ongoing supervision to provide peace of mind for families. We also take every step to make sure carers are carefully matched for compatibility, personality, and experience to create strong working relationships with your loved one. You can find out more about a typical day in the life of a care-giver in our blog. 

Specialist Condition Lead Live In Care  

We understand that caring for a loved one with a medical condition, limited mobility or additional needs can feel overwhelming at times, especially if you are the one providing care for them the majority of the time. With over 30 years of experience, our live-in carers are specially trained to provide safe, compassionate, and tailored care for individuals with a wide range of health needs. Just some of the conditions they’re trained to support include:  

• Dementia & Alzheimer’s

• Children with disabilities 

• Mobility or post-surgery care 

• Stroke recovery  

• Epilepsy

Our live in carers work closely with healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists, to ensure care at home complements medical advice.  We understand that every condition presents unique challenges, and our comprehensive approach is always personalised to support the best physical health and emotional wellbeing. Discover more about the complex care services we can provide as part of our live-in care offering.
