From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Distances are straight-line, from the centre of Dysart 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.

A live-in carer moves into the home in Dysart 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 Dysart, 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.

Care home figures are averages for England; too few homes in Fife publish a fee for a local median. Fees vary widely between homes. At home you keep paying the household bills and the carer's food, so add those before you compare.
For a couple the gap is wide: one live-in carer for both of you is about £1,350 a week, and a care home charges two fees. Work it through for your own numbers.
Hourly visits in Fife are covered on the cost of home care in Fife page, and you can compare private carers in Fife for visits. Past about 35 hours a week, live-in care costs about the same and somebody is there all day.
