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