What Do Live In Carers Do?
A live in carer lives in your home to provide ongoing support with everyday life while encouraging as much independence as possible. Depending on your circumstances, your carer can assist with personal care, mobility, meal preparation, medication reminders, household tasks and companionship.
We carefully match clients with experienced live in carers and, where required, can also provide live in nurses for individuals with more complex healthcare needs.
Whether you require support following illness, ongoing elderly care, or help managing a long-term condition, our professional carers provide reliable support tailored to you.

Frequently Asked Question
What does a live in carer do?
A live in carer lives in your home and provides day-to-day support based on your individual needs. They can help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, household tasks, companionship and mobility support, allowing you to remain independent in familiar surroundings.
What doesn't a live in carer do?
A live in carer cannot carry out duties that require a qualified district nurse or healthcare professional, such as administering injections or changing complex wound dressings, unless appropriately qualified to do so.
Do carers need their own room?
Yes. A live in carer requires their own private bedroom where they can rest during agreed breaks and maintain their own privacy.
What do I need to provide for a live in carer?
A comfortable bedroom with a bed and storage for personal belongings is usually all that is required, alongside access to normal household facilities.
What are carers not allowed to do?
Carers work within agreed care plans and professional guidelines. Tasks requiring specialist clinical intervention should be carried out by the appropriate healthcare professionals unless your care package specifically includes qualified clinical support.
How long will a carer stay with me?
This depends entirely on your care package. Some clients require short-term respite care, while others receive ongoing long-term care with carers working on a planned rotation.
When do carers take time off and have breaks?
Breaks are agreed as part of your individual care plan, ensuring both you and your carer receive the right level of support throughout the placement.
How do I know we'll get on?
We take time to understand your personality, lifestyle and preferences before matching you with a suitable carer. Our goal is to create long-lasting, positive relationships built on trust and compatibility.
Can I have a male carer?
Yes. We will always do our best to accommodate your preferences when selecting the right carer.
Can I have a female carer?
Absolutely. We understand that personal care is important, and wherever possible we will match you with a carer who makes you feel comfortable and supported.
