CQC REGISTERED DOMICILIARY CARELive-in care
Live-in care
in your own home.
Ongoing support from a care worker living in the person’s own home, planned around needs, routines and desired outcomes.
PERSON-CENTRED SUPPORTSupport shaped around
Support shaped around
what matters to you.
Live-in care can provide continuity and reassurance while allowing someone to remain in their own home. It is not continuous one-to-one waking care, so working time, breaks, sleeping arrangements and any night-time needs must be agreed clearly.
Before care begins, we take time to understand needs, routines, preferences, risks and desired outcomes. Support is then recorded in an agreed care plan and reviewed when circumstances change.
WHAT SUPPORT CAN INCLUDEPractical help,

Things you may
want to ask.
We will discuss your circumstances directly and explain what can safely be provided.
Does a live-in carer work continuously for 24 hours?
No. Live-in care includes agreed working time, rest and breaks. Frequent waking-night needs may require a different or additional arrangement.
Does the care worker need a bedroom?
A suitable private sleeping space and appropriate household facilities are normally required. We discuss practical arrangements during assessment.
Can live-in care support two people?
This requires a detailed assessment of both individuals’ needs, risks, desired outcomes and the staffing required to provide safe care.
