Our live-in care services in Kensington and Chelsea
Introductory live-in care
With our introductory live-in care service, we recruit a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of us. In contrast to our managed live-in care service, with introductory care, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce to you, and the carers are paid directly by you.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard. We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.
What is live in care?
Live-in care is a highly personalised care service where a professional, fully trained carer lives alongside you in your home, providing one-to-one support around the clock. Unlike residential care homes, live-in care enables you to remain in your own home, surrounded by your possessions and happy memories, without compromising on the level of care you receive. We truly believe life is better at home, and most families we speak to agree that remaining at home would be their preferred arrangement.
Your live-in carer becomes part of your daily life, supporting you with personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, and medication management, as well as providing valued companionship. Care plans are completely tailored to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring you receive exactly the right level of support. Your care plan will be reviewed regularly by your care manager, who will be in constant contact with yourself and family members to adapt your care as needed.
What our live-in care includes
Live-in care covers a wide range of daily needs, all tailored to each individual. A live-in carer provides both practical support and companionship, helping your loved one live life to the fullest at home.
