Live in care
Live in care enables the care receiver to stay in their cherished home while receiving essential support. Familiar surroundings and fond memories can enhance their care plan. Our carers know this, and that’s why they do all that they can to keep you comfortable at home.
Not only will your live-in carer be able to provide you with practical and physical care, they can also be a wonderful source of companionship and emotional support. All of our live-in carers are handpicked for their kind, empathetic personalities, and your local care manager will pair you with someone who matches your likes and interests.
With 24-hour care, there will usually be one main live-in carer who lives with you full time and other carers who may support you overnight or during the day when your regular carer is taking a break or needs assistance with moving and handling duties.
You can also opt for live-in care if you need regular support for some ailments, but don’t need constant care. There could be a variety of different reasons why someone may need 24-hour care. Here are some examples:
If your loved one is living with advanced dementia and is unable to be left alone in their home, a friendly live-in carer offers security and assistance
If you’ve been diagnosed with a progressive or terminal condition and need support managing your symptoms
Perhaps you’re prone to regular falls, or are unable to carry out day-to-day tasks around the home. Our carers can assist with mobility and the housework
If you or a loved one are living alone, a live-in carrer provides valuable companionship and a constant source of friendly, reliable support
It might be that your loved ones live too far away or aren’t able to visit regularly, or perhaps you require personal care that you’d rather a carer handled
Our live-in carers can provide valuable companionship, as well as physical support.
Many people who have some minor issues, such as being unable to wash themselves or requiring the use of a mobility aid, may opt for a live-in carer. Not only does having someone who is fully trained to look after you provide you and your loved ones with reassurance, it can also give you much-needed companionship.
We only recruit the most friendly, compassionate people to our care teams, which means our carers make for wonderful companions.
We’re able to offer support on both a visiting care and live in care basis to suit the personal needs of every individual customer.
As the UK’s most widely-trusted home care provider, we’re passionate about offering an industry-leading home care service. We only hire the very best carers to our care teams, and we maintain a set of principles that run throughout all of our care.

Every Graceden HEALTHCARE-SERVICES carer receives our comprehensive carer training when they join us, as well as doing regular refresher courses
At Graceden HEALTHCARE-SERVICES, our live-in care focuses on giving you the type and level of care you need for your particular circumstances and condition. We know that your care needs will be unique to you, which is why we’ll take the time to listen to your requirements and preferences when curating your bespoke care plan.
Here are some of the many ways in which a live-in carer can support you at home:
A live-in carer can provide you with discreet and sensitive personal care that will mean you won’t have to worry about asking family members to help with intimate routines. Personal care might include assistance with bathing, toileting, getting dressed and more.
If you’re living alone, or living with a partner but are too far away from your loved ones to see them regularly, a live-in carer can be there to watch your favourite TV programmes with you, play a board game, help you attend a club, or just have a natter over a cup of tea.
Whether you need someone to take care of all your housework or simply to help you cope with it, a live-in carer will be able to ensure your home is always kept clean and tidy – meaning you can enjoy a truly comfortable and relaxing environment.
One of the wonderful things about staying at home for care is being able to enjoy your independence. A live-in carer can accompany you out of your home whenever you like – whether it’s popping to the shops, visiting a friend or going away for the weekend.
Your live-in carer will be able to prepare your favourite meals, drinks and snacks at the times that suit you, as well as washing everything up and tidying away afterwards. They can also prepare nutritious food that adheres to a specific dietary plan.
If you have more complex care needs, our live-in carers can receive additional nurse-led training that will equip them to offer catheter and stoma management. We can provide bespoke support for the most complex conditions, including types of dementia and cancer.
We’re up front and transparent about our Live in care costs and pricing. Call us today and we’ll provide a quote straight away to fit your needs with no hidden costs or fees.
If you’re living alone, you’ll receive bespoke one-to-one support that offers practical help and valued companionship. A truly person-centred care experience.
A live-in carer will keep your home looking “just so”, allowing you to always enjoy a pleasant living environment. Clean sheets when you want them, no more dirty dishes and no more overflowing bins.
All of our live-in carers are specifically recruited for their friendly, compassionate personalities, which means they make for wonderful companions. Often our carers and customers become friends for life!
We know how important it is to have great chemistry with your carer. That’s why your local care team will always take the time to match you with someone with the same interests, hobbies and personality.
Dedicated support that enables you to stay together in your beloved family home and helps you both to maintain your normal routines, hobbies and activities.
A live-in carer allows you to receive the additional support you need around the home. This gives you both the opportunity to continue enjoying one another’s company in the comfort of your own home.
You’ll receive a package of care that is fully tailored to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring you’re always getting the right type and level of care and allowing you to maintain your normal routines.
We will take the time to match you with a carer who is compatible with you and fully understands you and your requirements. All of our carers receive dedicated training that allows them to support people with varying care needs, such as:
As one of the UK’s leading dementia care providers, our carers receive expert training to ensure they can offer outstanding dementia home support
A live-in carer can provide personal support that helps slow down the progression of your symptoms and allows you to manage them
Palliative support from a live-in carer can help you to react quickly to any developments in your condition and manage your symptoms
If you’re recovering from surgery or an accident, you may benefit from live-in care until you’re able to get back on your feet

Our clinical nurses
Graceden Healthcare Services are registered with the CQC for Treatment of disease, disorder or injury (TDDI).
Gracden healthcare services are one of the UK’s few home care providers who are registered for TDDI. We’re able to provide TDDI because we have a team of qualified and experienced registered nurses who work alongside our carers to ensure complex nursing procedures are professionally supervised and followed.
This type of nursing care can only be authorised by a healthcare professional by virtue of their professional qualification, which is why many UK home care providers are unable to offer this service.
TDDI care from our expert nurse-led team of carers offers continuous, fully managed home support for complex, progressive and terminal conditions
Our nurse-led support is personalised to your specific condition, meaning you’ll get a bespoke care plan that ensures you’re never left feeling isolated or unsupported
With TDDI care from Graceden Healthcare Services, your support will be closely supervised by a qualified, experienced healthcare professional who will monitor your needs and ensure your care is always correct

Our internal structure
We have local teams across the country headed up by six regional area care managers. These teams have local knowledge and insight to ensure your needs are met and help us understand you better.
Our local managers will come out and see you face to face when you are setting up care so we can ensure we fully understand your care needs and tailor your package to give you confidence in our service. Some things are just better done in person.
With years of combined experience working for the NHS, our expert clinical leads support our care teams by delivering high quality training to ensure our carers can support those with more complex needs.
We have an office-based team who support with all scheduling and support both you and our carers to ensure things work as smoothly as possible for you. This means that you are much more likely to get the quality standards you expect from a national organisation.
