What is live-in care, and how does it work?
Live-in care means a professional carer comes to live in your or your loved one's home to provide support around the clock. They may provide personal care, medication management, or even help with household tasks or rehabilitation, depending on their client's needs.
We work hard to pair you with the right care team, which includes two carers and one dedicated case manager.

Why choose live-in care over a care home in Plymouth?
When it becomes clear that you or your loved one needs assistance, your options are usually between live-in care, assisted living, and relocating to a care home. For most, living at home during retirement is the ideal, which is why when you need help, you'll often be choosing between live in care and assisted living.
Live-in care in Plymouth works best for those who need around-the-clock help with their daily routines and offers the added benefit of companionship, unlike assistive care, where a carer will only pop in for a brief period once or at a few set times per day.
