What does live-in care look like?

A live-in carer lives with the person they support, usually in a spare room, and provides help as needed throughout the day and night. It is a practical alternative to residential care for people who want to stay independent at home.

  • Personal care, bathing, dressing and toileting
  • Medication prompts and health monitoring
  • Meal preparation, shopping and light housekeeping
  • Companionship and accompanying to appointments
  • Mobility support and safe transfers
  • Overnight reassurance and sleep-in cover
