A live-in carer moves into the home in St Just and is there day and night: personal care, meals, medicines prompted at the right times, company, and someone in the house overnight. On PrimeCarers you choose the carer yourself from the profiles of those who can reach St Just, agree the rate on their profile, and we set up the contract and the weekly payments. Families arrange it after an operation or a hospital stay, for dementia, for a couple, or when visits are no longer enough. How live-in care works goes through it step by step.

From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Distances are straight-line, from the centre of St Just to where each carer says they live. Counts are the live-in carers with a photo and a live-in rate that our area searches return, at most 100 per area, so busy areas have more. Rates include our fee and are advertised day rates multiplied by seven; typical means the median. Availability for your dates needs confirming with each carer.

Most families start with a call: what your relative needs, what it would cost, whether a live-in carer is the right answer or hourly visits would do, and what to ask a carer when you speak to them. Charlotte has those conversations every day and can tell you which of the carers in St Just might suit, though the choice is always yours.
