Professional Live-In Care at Home across Surrey and London

Our live-in care starts from £1,300 per week, though the exact cost depends on the level and complexity of care required and the location of the client. We provide a full, transparent breakdown of all costs during the free assessment with no hidden fees.

We will also guide you through every available funding option, including NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance, and local authority funding. See all funding options.

Live-in care means your loved one stays in their own home with a dedicated professional carer living with them. A care home requires your loved one to move into a shared residential setting.

Familiar surroundings, established routines, and one-to-one attention significantly benefit wellbeing — particularly for people living with dementia. Live-in care is also frequently comparable in cost to a quality care home placement.

Before any placement, we take time to understand your loved one as a person — their history, personality, interests, daily preferences, and specific care needs. We then identify a carer with the right skills, experience, and personal qualities including shared interests, language, and cultural background.

Yes. The carer lives in the client’s home and is present throughout the day and night. They require their own bedroom and a reasonable break period each day — typically two hours — during which a family member or relief carer provides cover.

For clients who require 24-hour waking support without any breaks, we arrange rotating live-in carers to ensure continuous, fully rested care at all times.

Yes, and it is often the most effective form of care for someone living with dementia. Remaining in familiar surroundings significantly reduces confusion and distress. A consistent live-in carer who knows your loved one’s routines and preferences provides far more continuity than a rotating team of visiting carers.

All our live-in carers supporting clients with dementia receive specialist dementia training. Learn more about our dementia care.

NHS Continuing Healthcare may fund live-in care in full if your loved one has a primary health need. Local authority care packages can contribute to costs following a care needs assessment. Attendance Allowance and Personal Independence Payment can also help.

In urgent situations, such as a hospital discharge or sudden deterioration in condition, we can often arrange live-in care within 24 to 72 hours. For planned placements, we take a little more time to ensure the carer match is right. We never rush the matching process at the expense of quality.

We manage all carer cover as part of the service. Every live-in placement has a relief carer identified before care begins. If a carer is unwell or needs emergency leave, our local care management team arranges cover immediately. You will never be left without care.

Yes. Live-in care for couples allows both individuals to remain in their home together rather than facing separation through different care placements. We tailor the care plan to meet both individuals’ needs and in some cases two carers may be required on a rotating schedule.
