Round-the-Clock Support in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Live-in care means your loved one never has to face the day — or the night — alone. Our CQC-registered live-in carers move in to provide continuous, compassionate support that is built entirely around the individual's needs, routine, and preferences.
About This Service
What Is Live-in Care?
Live-in care is a full-time home care arrangement in which a trained, professional carer lives with the individual they support. Unlike visiting care — where a carer arrives for scheduled hours — a live-in carer is always present, providing continuous support, companionship, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone is always there.
This model of care is widely regarded as one of the most effective and compassionate alternatives to moving into a residential care home. The individual remains in their own home — surrounded by familiar possessions, established routines, and the comfort of a space that is truly theirs. Research consistently shows that this continuity has significant benefits for both physical and emotional wellbeing.
At Premier23 Care Services, every live-in care arrangement begins with a thorough assessment and a careful carer-matching process. We consider not only the practical care needs of the individual, but also their personality, interests, cultural preferences, and daily routine — ensuring that the carer and client are genuinely compatible.
Live-in care is not simply a service. It is a relationship — built on trust, consistency, and genuine human connection. That is why we take the matching process so seriously.
Who We Support
Is This Service Right for You?
Older Adults Who Value Home
For those who cherish their independence and wish to remain in their own home rather than transition to residential care — live-in care provides the same level of support without the upheaval.
People Living With Dementia
Familiar surroundings and a consistent carer presence are particularly beneficial for those with dementia — reducing anxiety and supporting established routines.
Adults With Complex Physical Needs
Live-in care provides the continuous support needed by individuals with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, or complex health needs that require regular monitoring and assistance.
Couples Who Need Different Levels of Support
Both individuals in a couple can receive the right level of support within the same home — tailored separately but delivered consistently by the same live-in carer.
Those Recovering From Serious Illness
Following a significant health event such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious illness — live-in care provides a safe and supported recovery environment at home.
Family Members Who Need Reassurance
Live-in care offers families genuine peace of mind — knowing that a trusted, trained professional is always present, whatever the time of day or night.

Comparing Your Options
Live-in Care or a Care Home — What Is the Difference?
It is one of the most significant decisions a family will make. Understanding the key differences between live-in care and residential care helps you make the choice that is right for your loved one.
| Feature | ✦ Live-in Care with Premier23 | Residential Care Home |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Remains in own home | Moves to shared facility |
| Continuity | Same dedicated carer | Multiple rotating staff |
| Routine | Your routine is maintained | Follows the facility's schedule |
| Independence | Fully preserved | Significantly reduced |
| Personal space | Own bedroom, belongings, and garden | Shared or limited private space |
| Pets | Can remain with pets at home | Rarely permitted |
| Family visits | Unrestricted, at home | Subject to facility policies |
| Cost | Often comparable to care home fees | Often similar or higher |
Live-in care costs vary depending on the level of support required. In many cases, live-in care is comparable in cost to a residential care home — particularly when factoring in the benefits of one-to-one support, familiarity, and independence.

Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
“When my father's needs became too great for us to manage as a family, we faced the heartbreaking question of whether he would have to move into a care home. Premier23 gave us a third option — a live-in carer who genuinely became part of his life. Dad stayed in his own home, kept his routine, and was happier than he had been in years. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
