Live-in Care

Live-in care means a fully trained carer lives with you in your home, providing one-to-one support whenever you need it. It’s a flexible and personalised alternative to moving into a care home, allowing you to stay in the place you know and love, with support that fits around your lifestyle and routines.

We provide live-in care across the whole of England and Jersey.

Live-in care allows you to stay in your own home, maybe even the family home filled with memories, comfort, and the things that matter most to you. You don’t have to adjust to someone else’s routine or environment; instead, your carer fits into your way of life, offering support that’s tailored just for you. You can keep your pets, stay close to your community, have your friends and family visit you whenever you want, and enjoy familiar surroundings with one-to-one care whenever you need it. It’s a reassuring mix of independence, comfort, and peace of mind, all in the place you call home.

All our live-in carers go through a thorough selection process, including enhanced background checks and in-depth interviews. Once selected, they complete our award-winning, in-person training programme at our headquarters. Training covers everything from personal care and medication to safeguarding, moving & handling, dementia care and more, so you can feel confident you’re in safe, capable hands. Our carers are friendly, respectful and reliable, and to prove this, only 1% of applicants successfully make it through our training.

Our Live-in Care is all about providing you the right support you need. Live-in care covers a wide range of support to help you live independently and comfortably, this includes (but not limited to): personal care (washing, dressing, medication), help with meals, housekeeping, laundry, pet care, companionship and supporting your social life, attending appointments, shopping, running errands, physio support, and even small day-to-day tasks. We’re here to help with your life, in the way that works best for you.

We understand how important it is to feel in control of your own life. Your carer is there to support you and not take over. They’ll always be respectful of your space, your routines, and the way you like things done. Whether you want a quiet day to yourself or a bit of help getting out and about, your carer will follow your lead. It’s all about giving you the right support while helping you stay independent in your own home.

The cost of live-in care depends on the level of support you need. Fully managed, full-time live-in care with Christies Care typically costs between £1,600 and £1900 per week. A large part of that cost goes directly to our carers, and that’s something we’re proud of. Great care starts with great people. By paying our carers fairly, we attract and keep those who are truly committed to making a difference. They stay longer, build real relationships with our clients, and provide the high quality care you deserve. When comparing care providers, we always recommend checking CQC ratings and asking how carers are supported and paid. Quality care is personal, and it begins with valuing the people who deliver it. Every situation is different, and our friendly team is always happy to talk you through what’s included, how it works, and any funding or financial support that may be available to you.
