Live-in care from CarePlus Healthcare Services: one-to-one support at home, day and night, as an alternative to a care home. Serving Greenwich and Bournemouth. Request a free assessment.
For many families, the thought of a loved one moving into a care home is a difficult one. Live-in care offers a warm, practical alternative: a dedicated carer lives in the home, providing support day and night, while your loved one keeps their routines, belongings, pets and independence.
Live-in care means a professional carer stays in your home, usually for a fixed period, giving one-to-one support whenever it is needed. It suits people who need regular help or overnight reassurance but wish to remain in familiar surroundings.
Live-in care can support older people, adults with disabilities, people living with dementia, those recovering from illness or surgery, and anyone needing continuous support. It can also be a comfortable choice for couples who wish to stay together at home.
