💙 Why choose live-in care over a care home?
The benefits might surprise you:
✅ One-to-one attention - your dedicated carer focuses solely on you
✅ Stay in your own home - surrounded by familiar memories and possessions
✅ Better value - often comparable to or less than care home fees
✅ Couples stay together - with the associated cost benefits, no heartbreaking separation
✅ Your routine, your choices - maintain control over daily life, activities and hobbies

With Village Care's live-in service, you get 24/7 support, professional carers, and the peace of mind of our fully managed service.

Full guidance and advice on full time live in care - the key signs to be aware of, the benefits and how our carers can support you at home.

🏠 Is it time to consider live-in care? Here are key signs many families overlook:

• Increasing falls or safety concerns at home
• Difficulty with daily tasks like cooking or personal care
• Feeling lonely or isolated, especially in the evenings
• Health monitoring needs, requiring more consistent observation, care coordination and medication management
• Recovery support required needing additional help following illness or hospital discharge
• Family carers feeling overwhelmed or overstretched

Recognising these signs early can help you make proactive decisions about care rather than waiting for a crisis.

At Village Care, our live-in carers provide one-to-one support in the comfort of your own home - often more cost-effective than residential care.

When can live-in care help?

Live-in care can provide much needed support in a wide range of circumstances, providing comfort, companionship and reassurance. We only recruit the most friendly, compassionate people to our care teams – their focus is on giving you exactly the help that you need.
- Distant family
If your family is unable to visit or provide the ongoing help you need, then a live-in carer can often be the answer, providing the whole family with reassurance.

- Preventing loneliness
For those living alone, having a live-in carer means always having someone there - not just for help, but for companionship too.

- Physical frailty
Age makes it tougher to do things that we’ve always taken for granted. A live-in carer can provide helpful, professional support, especially with personal care tasks and managing the household.

- Managing dementia
For those with advanced dementia who shouldn’t be alone, a live-in carer provides that essential presence and support.

- Palliative needs
If you have a progressive or life-limiting illness, you may need round-the-clock care, not only to manage your symptoms, but to help make the most of the life you have.

The care you need in 3 easy steps:

1. Get in touch: 0333 041 1790
Call our friendly team, to chat through what you might need, and ask any questions

2. We’ll arrange a visit to meet you
Your local Village Care advisor will visit you to learn more about you and your requirements and preferences

3. We’ll create your personal care package
We’ll develop a plan for exactly what you need – and keep adjusting it until you’re entirely happy
