Live-in care is temporary care individuals when their normal carers are not available. Live-in care, or carers respite, is typically used as part of recovery after an accident, illness or surgery when regular carers need a break, or additional specialized support is required.
Live-in care means having a fully trained care worker living with you in your own home. Your live-in care worker will support you with your specific needs to keep you comfortable and independent at home. Our live-in care workers and companions help with:
Whether it’s helping with personal care, keeping on top of the chores or moving around the house, many of our care workers become a rock to their clients, enabling them to live the way they want every day.

24-hour care, or live-in care, is support that covers you morning, evening and night so that you are never left without the assistance you need. With 24-hour care, you have the constant reassurance that there is always someone there to provide you with consistent and professional care to the highest standards.
Whether you need assistance with personal care in the morning or if you need support to access the toilet safely in the middle of the night, your dedicated team of carers will be there whenever you need them.
Live-in care is seen as a direct alternative to a care home or supported living arrangement, as it enables you to receive 24-hour care on your terms, and in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.
Moving to a new home is a stress for anyone, even at the best of times. Couple that with moving into residential care – with set routines, set meals and set visiting times– and it can become a real strain and disruption to a person’s life.
Having a Live In care worker means you can keep the same daily routines, and friends and family can continue to visit as they normally do. With a spare room in your home, your live-in Care Worker will be there to support you each day, as muchor as little as you like and according to what matters to you most.
Not all home care providers offer a regulated service. In fact, many live-in care agencies simply introduce you to a care worker, meaning that you’ll need to manage their pay, arrange cover for their breaks, holidays or if they’re ill, and handle any appraisals or concerns yourself. With Angelus Homecare, we manage all of this –and more – for you. This includes regular reviews of your support plan, care worker supervisions and extra training as is needed.
Live-in care is available for anyone of all ages, from the age of 18 and up. A residential care home is not the only option. With private care, you can continue to live-in the place you know and love

For a similar price, a dedicated live-in care worker provides the continuity that a team of care workers is unable to. One person can absorb all the routine tasks and have the time to concentrate on providing so much more, such as being a companion and sharing hobbies and interests.

You may need some temporary care after an accident or planned operation, such as after a knee or hip operation. Even if it’s just for a few days, a carer can help to ease your recovery at home.
Along with cooking meals and the household chores, your carer can also support with strengthening exercises, based on guidance from your physiotherapist.
Live-in care provides couples the opportunity to stay together, regardless of their care needs. Doing so can make considerable cost savings too when compared with the price of paying for two beds in a care home.
