Introduction
When considering care options for yourself or a loved one, Live-in Care offers a unique and compassionate solution. Unlike traditional residential care, Live-in Care allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving professional, round-the-clock support tailored to their needs. At Plan with Care, we believe that high-quality care should not only meet practical needs but also nurture emotional well-being, independence, and a sense of security.
What is Live-in Care?
Live-in Care is a personalised care service where a dedicated carer lives with the individual, providing continuous support and companionship. This approach ensures that help is always available, whether it’s assistance with daily tasks, medication management, or specialist care for conditions such as dementia or mobility issues.
Live-in Care provides consistent and familiar support, reducing the stress and disruption that can come with frequent changes in caregivers. At Plan with Care, we take great care in matching each individual with the right carer to ensure a strong and trusting relationship.
Who is Live-in Care For?
Live-in Care is a flexible solution suitable for a range of individuals, including:
Older adults who require daily support but want to stay in their own homes.
Individuals with complex medical conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia, or post-stroke recovery.
Those who need short-term support following hospital discharge or surgery.
Couples who wish to remain together while receiving personalised care.
Individuals seeking companionship and emotional support in addition to practical care.
At Plan with Care, we understand that every person’s needs are unique, and we tailor our approach to ensure the best possible care experience.

Why Choose Live-in Care Over Other Care Options?
Many families face the difficult decision of whether to choose a care home or arrange Live-in Care. Here’s why Live-in Care is an increasingly popular choice:
Independence & Familiarity – Staying at home allows individuals to maintain their routines, continue hobbies, and remain in familiar surroundings.
One-to-One Support – Unlike care homes where staff are shared among many residents, Live-in Care provides undivided attention and personalised care.
Emotional Well-being – Having a trusted carer reduces feelings of loneliness and anxiety, improving overall quality of life.
Cost-Effectiveness – Particularly for couples, Live-in Care can be more cost-effective than moving into a residential facility.
At Plan with Care, we have seen first-hand how Live-in Care transforms lives, providing not just care but companionship, dignity, and reassurance.
