Live-in care in Coventry and Warwickshire
A dedicated carer living in your home, so you can stay with your memories, your routines and the people you love.
Constant reassurance, without leaving home.
What Is Live-in Care?
Live-in care means a trained carer moves into your home and supports you through the day, every day. They help with personal care, meals, medication, housework and companionship, and they are there when you need them.
For many families, live-in care is a real alternative to a care home. You keep your own front door, your garden, your pets and your neighbours, with one-to-one support built entirely around you.
Why Families Choose Live-in Care
One-to-one attention
Support focused only on you, not shared with other residents.
Familiar surroundings
Especially comforting for people living with dementia.
Couples stay together
One carer can often support both partners at home.
Pets and routines stay
Keep your pets, your hobbies and your daily rhythm.
Peace of mind for family
Knowing someone caring is there day to day.
Who Live-in Care Can Help
- Older adults who need support throughout the day
- People living with dementia who are safest in a familiar place
- Adults with physical disabilities or neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's or MS
- People returning home after a hospital stay who need more than visits
- Couples who want to stay together at home
- Anyone receiving palliative care who wishes to remain at home
A Day with a Live-in Carer
Morning
A gentle start, help getting washed and dressed, breakfast and medication.
Late morning
A walk, light housework or a trip to the shops together.
Afternoon
Lunch, a rest and time for hobbies, visitors or a favourite programme.
Evening
Dinner, conversation and help getting ready for a comfortable night.
Every day is shaped around you. This is only an example.
How Live-in Care Works
A private room for your carer
Your carer needs their own bedroom with a bed, storage and access to a bathroom.
Daily breaks
Carers take a daily break of around two hours to rest and recharge. We help plan cover if you need someone with you during this time.
Rest at night
Live-in carers sleep overnight. If you need regular help at night, we can add waking night or sleep-in support.
Holiday cover
When your carer takes time off, we arrange a familiar, fully briefed replacement.
Live-in Care or a Care Home?
| Live-in Care | Care Home | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you live | Your own home | A shared residential setting |
| Support | One-to-one with your own carer | Shared between residents |
| Routine | Set by you | Set around the home |
| Pets and garden | Stay with you | Often not possible |
| Couples | Can stay together at home | May need separate rooms or homes |
Both can be the right choice. We will talk you through the options honestly.

Live-in Care for Different Needs
How Much Does Live-in Care Cost?
Live-in care is usually charged as a weekly fee. The cost depends on the level of support needed and whether care is for one person or a couple. For many people it compares well with a care home, especially for couples. We will give you a clear quote after your free assessment.
