What Is Live-In Care?
Live in care means a trained live in carer moves into your own home to provide round-the-clock support. Unlike visiting care, where carers call in at set times, a live in caregiver is always close by, offering assistance with everyday tasks, personal care, personal care assistance, daily tasks, and companionship.
For many, this is the preferred choice over moving into residential care. It allows people to remain in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by routines, possessions and community connections. Live in care is designed to provide tailored support that matches each person’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring one to one support for consistency and comfort.
Because your live in carer is based in your own home, they get to know you well, providing truly tailored support that makes day-to-day life easier. Live in carers also play a key role in supporting emotional well being, offering companionship and stability that enhance happiness and quality of life.

Costs of Having a Live-In Carer
The cost of live in care varies depending on the level of support needed, whether for an individual or a couple, and whether the arrangement is short or long-term. Care costs can differ based on individual needs, but live in care is often seen as an affordable alternative to residential care, offering value for money while allowing people to remain in their own homes.
- For individuals, live in care can be more cost-effective than residential care, with the added comfort of staying at home.
- For couples, it can be significantly cheaper than paying for two care home places, and staying in the family home can provide additional financial advantages.
When comparing a traditional care company to self employed carers, families may find that self employed carers offer more personalized care and greater affordability than a standard care company.
At Careline Home Support, we believe in clear pricing for all our care services. After an assessment, we provide a transparent breakdown so you know exactly what to expect.
Live-In Care as an Alternative to Residential Care vs 24-Hour Care at Home
It’s important to understand the difference between live in care and 24-hour care at home:
- Live in care – a carer lives in your own home, providing daytime help and being nearby at night, with agreed breaks. Live in care typically includes overnight care, ensuring support and reassurance during nighttime hours. It is important to consider how many hours of support are needed each day to match your requirements. Live in care offers continuous support, giving peace of mind that help is always available.
- 24-hour care – multiple carers work shifts to ensure someone is awake and alert at all times.
Both have their place. Live in care suits those who want daily help in their familiar surroundings, while 24-hour care may be needed for more complex medical needs.
