These individuals prefer to remain in the familiar atmosphere of their own homes with their memories and pets. Here are some of the advantages of live-in care:
Our compassionate and qualified live-in carers provide 24/7 assistance with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care. They can also provide companionship, medication management, and transportation, ensuring you have everything you need to live a fulfilling life.
Personalised Care
Live-in care provides a more personalised one-to-one care service. This enables us to provide personalised care and support that meets your individual needs and preferences. The carer can develop a close relationship with the client, providing emotional support and companionship. This is essential for maintaining good mental health.
Being at home provides a sense of familiarity, comfort and quality of life with your surrounding a your beloved pets . Live-in care allows individuals to stay in the comfort of their own homes. This offers a feeling of familiarity and security. This is especially beneficial for elderly and disabled people who need 24 hour care.
If one of your parents requires more care than the other, live-in care for couples may be the solution. This type of care can provide a supportive environment for both your parents. Live-in care assistance for couples is an affordable and cost-effective solution. It allows your parents to stay together in their own home.
How does Live-in Care work?
We believe great care starts with truly understanding the person behind the care needs.
That’s why we take the time to learn about you – your routines, preferences, hobbies, and what matters most in your day-to-day life. This allows us to carefully match you with a live-in carer who is not only highly trained, but also the right personality fit.
After an initial assessment, we’ll talk through your needs in detail and introduce you to your chosen carer. You’ll always have the final say, so you can feel completely comfortable and confident in your decision.
Once you’re happy, your live-in carer will move into your home and begin supporting you with a personalised care plan tailored to your lifestyle.
Our focus is simple: to help you stay safe, independent, and comfortable in the place you know and love.
Your carer will support you with daily routines, while also encouraging you to continue enjoying your interests, hobbies, and familiar way of life — all with the reassurance of having someone there when you need them.

What types of live-in care are there?
There are many different types of live-in care available, all depending on the reason you require care. Live-in care can be offered on both a short term and long term basis and is often arranged with little notice depending on the circumstances. We can also arrange Live-in Care for couples too. Unlike domiciliary care our live-in care is arranged with just one carer in mind for your entire care plan. Here are some of the most commonly organised live-in care options:
Night-Time Care for the Elderly
Our night-time care services provide essential support to elderly individuals during the night.
Our carers assist with tasks such as personal care, including helping with bedtime routines to ensure comfort and dignity. They manage medications that need to be taken during the night, provide mobility assistance for bathroom visits, and support those who may wander in the night, reducing the risk of falls.
Respite Care at Home
Quite often short term respite care is required as a family carer is at risk of caregiver burnout and needs a break. Taking a short break or a holiday is important when you provide care. Giving yourself time to enjoy what you love is the best way to practice self-care.
We often plan our respite care in advance over agreed dates, creating a short-term care plan. This plan is popular with family members who provide in home dementia care for loved ones.
Palliative Care at Home
Palliative care, also known as end of life care is often arranged for people who would like to die at home.
Our care team will make sure the client is comfortable and free from pain. We will also provide emotional support to the client and their family. Our carers are trained to support families during this tough time. They make sure the client is cared for and treated with dignity until the end of their life.
Live-in Care For Couples
Live-in care is often the most cost-effective form of care available to couples. Unlike a residential care home that charges for two rooms and two care plans, our live-in carer will create a combined care plan that caters to both individuals. This allows couples to stay together in the comfort of their own home without separation. Our team tailors the care plan to each individual’s needs while ensuring they both receive the necessary support.
With a live-in carer, couples can maintain their independence and continue to enjoy daily routines together.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s easier than you might think to prepare for a live-in carer! All you’ll need to do is make sure there’s a private bedroom for them, access to Wi-Fi, and allow time for breaks so they can enjoy some downtime and rest.
Our experienced team will guide you through the process to make everything as simple and smooth as possible, so you can feel confident, comfortable and ready for your carer’s arrival.
Choosing live-in care instead of moving to a care home lets you stay in your own home. You can keep making choices about your daily life. This includes what you eat, how you spend your time, and your routines. There are many benefits of elderly care at home including family and friends visiting without set times that can often be in place at nursing homes, so you can enjoy regular visits with loved ones whenever it suits you.
Plus, if you have pets, they can stay with you, as live-in care allows you to remain at home. Live in care also means having the same carer every day, helping to create a consistent, trusting relationship. Home help for elderly people instead of in a residential care home setting is often the most affordable option, especially for couples.

Arranging live-in care is simple. Start by contacting us for an initial assessment. We will then schedule an assessment with our registered manager to understand your loved one’s specific care needs and any medical conditions that may need to be considered.
After the assessment, we will match your loved one with a suitable carer and introduce you to them. Once you’re happy with the match, we’ll proceed with a personalised care plan and schedule for the carer to move into your home and begin their role.
Yes, live-in carers are fully trained in medication management. This includes ensuring medications are taken on time and in the correct dosage, organising prescriptions, and liaising with healthcare professionals or pharmacies when necessary. A live-in carer will make sure that all medications are properly administered, reducing the risk of missed doses and ensuring your loved one’s health needs are consistently met.
Live-in care is ideal for individuals who need around-the-clock care or support but want to stay in their own home. It’s suitable for a wide range of conditions, including dementia, Alzheimer’s, mobility issues, or post-operative recovery.

A live-in carer provides 24/7 support, but this doesn’t mean they are actively working every hour of the day. They will have scheduled rest periods, including time for sleep, and will follow a care plan that ensures your loved one receives the appropriate
amount of attention throughout the day. The carer will be available at all times for any emergencies or support needs and will assist with routine tasks during waking hours, such as meal preparation, medication, personal care, and companionship.
At Burleys Home Care, we will assist you in finding the perfect live-in carer for your loved one. Our experienced care team will conduct a thorough assessment of your loved one’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Using this information, we will match your loved one with a carer who is best suited to their requirements. Once a suitable carer is identified, we will arrange an introduction to ensure that everyone feels comfortable with the match before proceeding with the care plan.

No, live-in carers do not pay rent. The cost of accommodation is included in the overall care arrangement. As part of the live-in care service, the carer resides in your loved one’s home and provides around-the-clock care and support. This ensures that your loved one has the constant companionship and care they need, while the carer’s accommodation is part of their duties.
