Live-in Care
If you need more support than our regular visits provide but don’t want to go into a residential or nursing home, live-in care could be the solution. Live-in care allows you to remain as independent as possible but with dedicated, full-time support. And if you have a condition such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis a carer with specialist experience who will understand and cater for your needs can make a world of difference to your safety, quality of life and peace of mind.
