Live-In Care: Helping You Stay Comfortable and Independent at Home 24/7
Find trusted live-in care services for your loved ones. PrimeCarers connects you with experienced carers who provide 24/7 support and companionship.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care is a popular alternative to residential care for people who want to remain in their own homes but need help with daily tasks and personal care. A live-in carer provides 24/7 support and companionship, tailored to the individual needs of each person.
Carer Moves into Spare Bedroom
Unlike hourly care, or overnight care, with live-in care, your carer will stay in a spare room, so that they can help at night a few times if needed.
They Help with Cooking, Cleaning, Personal Care & Companionship
Live-in carers can cook, clean, provide personal care, and hygeine assistance. They can also provide companionship and help you with social activities.
And Help You Get Out and About
Live-in carers can help you get out and about, whether that's to the shops, to appointments, or to social events. They can also help you with exercise and mobility.
You Carer Can Help Overnight
Live-in carers are available to help you at night, but they are not expected to be awake all night. They are there to help you if you need it. If you need all-night care, then an overnight carer can provide relief to a live-in carer.
And Two or More Carers Work On a Schedule
Live-in carers often work in pairs, with one carer working for several weeks and then another carer taking over. This ensures that you have a consistent level of care and that your carer is well-rested.
Are live in care and 24-hour care the same?
For those with advanced care needs, 24-hour care provides continuous live-in support around the clock.
When you receive 24-hour care, a primary live-in caregiver will typically reside with you full-time, while additional caregivers may assist during the day or night when your regular caregiver takes a break or requires help with tasks like moving and handling.
Live-in care is also an option if you require ongoing support for certain health issues but don't need continuous care.

Our carers support daily activities, companionship, and medical management, ensuring your comfort and well-being while adapting to any changing needs. This comprehensive support enhances your quality of life and provides peace of mind.
Personal Care
A live-in caregiver offers discreet and compassionate personal care, ensuring you won't need to rely on family members for assistance with intimate tasks. This may include help with bathing, toileting, dressing, and other personal routines.
Companionship
If you live alone or with a partner but are too far from loved ones to see them regularly, a live-in caregiver can join you to watch your favorite TV shows, play board games, help you attend a club, or simply chat over a cup of tea.
Household Chores
Live-in carers can help with light housekeeping tasks, such as vacuuming, dusting, and laundry, as well as more involved tasks like meal preparation and grocery shopping.
Transport
Live-in carers can help you get to appointments, social events, or the shops, ensuring you can maintain your independence and continue to enjoy the activities you love.
Medication Management
Live-in carers can help you manage your medication, ensuring you take the right dose at the right time, and can also help you order repeat prescriptions.
Complex Care
If you have a long-term health condition or disability, a live-in carer can provide the specialist care you need, ensuring you can continue to live safely and comfortably in your own home.
Cost of live in care
At PrimeCarers, carers set their own rates. Due to this, we can't give you a fixed price you can expect to pay, but we can tell you that over the last 12 months, the average price paid for a week of live-in care has been £1,120/week.
Single Person Care
If you're looking for care for a single person, our average advertised rate is £1,078/week.
Complex/Couple Care

Overnight Relief
If your live-in carer needs to be woken more than twice a night then an overnight relief carer can be hired a few nights a week to give the carer a chance to sleep.
