What is Live-In Care?

Live-in care is a service where a fully trained carer moves into the home of the person needing support. They provide continuous, one-to-one assistance with daily living activities, including personal care, medication management, meal preparation, and emotional companionship. It allows individuals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while receiving the support they need.

What is Live-In Care?

A live-in carer stays with you in your own home and offers 24/7 support. Your live-in carer will live with you in your home so that they’re always on-hand to provide you with dedicated support when you need it, allowing you to remain comfortable and independent at home.

With Banquo, Live-In Care is a fully tailored support service that allows you to remain in the comfort, safety, and familiarity of your own home, while receiving one-to-one, round-the-clock care from a dedicated professional. Unlike domiciliary (visiting) care — where carers drop in for short visits throughout the day — a live-in carer moves into the home and is available to provide continuous support, both during the day and overnight.

This type of care is ideal for individuals who have complex needs, mobility challenges, or conditions such as dementia, but who wish to retain their independence and stay in a familiar environment. It’s also a preferred alternative to residential care homes, especially for those who value personal space, privacy, and routine.

A Personalised Approach

Our live-in care service provides 24-hour support, with a dedicated carer living in the service user’s home. This option is ideal for individuals who need ongoing assistance but wish to remain in familiar surroundings. Live-in carers can help with everything from personal care and meal preparation to medication management and companionship, offering peace of mind for both the service user and their families.

So let’s answer some of your questions

What kind of support does a live-in carer provide?

Live-in carers offer a wide range of support depending on the needs of the individual. This can include personal hygiene and dressing, help with taking medication, preparing meals, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, attending appointments, and providing companionship. Our aim is to support independence while ensuring safety and comfort at all times.

How soon can I receive care?

Circumstances can suddenly change, meaning you need home care at the drop of a hat. We can arrange for care to start in as little as 48 hours of you getting in touch. In a crisis, we can often turn this around even quicker. We’re available day and night to take your call.

Are your carers trained and vetted?

Absolutely. All our carers undergo a thorough recruitment and vetting process, including enhanced DBS checks, reference checks, and interviews. They also complete comprehensive training and receive ongoing support to ensure the highest standards of care are delivered with professionalism and compassion.

Can I meet the carer before they start?

Yes, we always aim to match our carers to each client’s personality, preferences, and care needs. Once we’ve identified a suitable carer, we offer the opportunity for an introductory call or meeting so you can get to know them before care begins. Your comfort and peace of mind are our priority.

How is live-in care different from residential care?

Unlike residential care, which involves moving into a care home, live-in care enables people to stay in their own home and maintain their usual routines, surroundings, and independence. It also offers personalised, one-on-one support, which is often more tailored than care home services where staff are spread across multiple residents.

Who is live-in care suitable for?

Live-in care can be suitable for a wide range of individuals. This includes elderly people who need daily support, those with dementia or complex health conditions, people recovering after a hospital discharge, or younger adults with disabilities who wish to live independently at home. Every care package is tailored to meet specific needs.

Stay at Home, Supported Around the Clock

Live-in care involves a professionally trained carer living in someone's home to provide 24/7 care and support, helping them maintain as much independence as feasibly possible in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. This service is tailored to meet individual specific needs, whether it's with personal care, household tasks, cooking, or companionship.

Personalised and Cost-Effective Live-In Care Options

Live-in care offers a flexible and personalised alternative to care homes, often at a comparable or even lower cost depending on individual needs. Whether someone requires companion care, dementia care, respite care, palliative support, or assistance with long-term illness, trained carers can provide specialised care in the comfort of home. This includes support for complex needs such as dementia or stroke recovery, ensuring each individual receives the right level of care tailored to their condition.
