Live in Care

Live-in care helps you live the life you want on your own terms

What is live-in care?

Live-in care is assistance and care provided to you in your own home, enabling you to retain your independence and live the life you want to lead. From support for those living with types of dementia, the elderly or those with complex medical needs, live-in care allows you to receive person-centred, one-to-one support on your terms.

As the name suggests, a carer will live with you in your home to provide care whenever you need it, giving you and your family peace of mind that you always have a helping hand nearby.

What does a live-in care service include?

The every day services from a live-in carer include, but are not limited to:

Personal care and medication support

Housekeeping chores and other daily tasks

Ensuring that dietary needs are being met

Providing companionship and support

Complex care (e.g. PEG feeding, catheter management)

Personal tasks, such as bathing & dressing

How are Passionate Care different?

With a typical introductory live-in care agency, you pay a fee to be introduced to a carer who you employ, pay and manage directly yourself. Once an introductory agency has introduced you to a carer, you will pay the one-off charge to them for that service and this is typically the end of their involvement in the arrangement.

Unlike an agency, our service is fully managed.

Our live-in care service is overseen by a number of experienced local live-in care managers. They ensure you are matched with a suitable live-in carer and will liaise regularly with you and your family to make sure everything runs smoothly.
