Care service
A carer lives in the home and supports daily life, so someone can stay where they want to be rather than move into residential care.
Live-in care means exactly what it says: a carer moves into the home and provides support through the day as set out in the agreed care package. For a lot of families it is the alternative to a care home — the point at which visiting calls are no longer enough, but nobody wants to give up the house, the garden, the neighbours and the cat.
It suits someone whose needs have grown beyond a few visits a day, someone recently home from hospital who needs a settled period of support, or a couple who want to stay together rather than be separated by a residential placement. It also works as a temporary arrangement while a family works out what happens next.
For you and your family
The difference this makes for the person receiving care — and for the family around them.
How rest periods work — and why it matters. A live-in carer is not a machine, and nobody can work around the clock safely. Your carer has agreed rest and break periods, typically around two hours each day. Where the care package requires it, another carer covers that period, so support continues.
We are deliberately clear about this because some providers imply one person is awake and available every hour of every day. That is not how live-in care works anywhere, and it would not be safe. If continuous overnight support is also needed, that is arranged as part of the package — see our overnight care page.
Live-In Care is quoted as a tailored package rather than a published rate, because what it involves varies enormously between households.

Local to you
We deliver this service from our base at Bretby Business Park, which sits between Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote. In practice that means short journeys, a team that knows the local roads, and an office you could actually visit.
Coverage across the surrounding villages depends on where our team is working on a given day, so please ask us about your specific address rather than assuming either way.

Reviews
David HorneBurton upon Trent
“Lyndsey formed a lovely relationship with my Dad and was kind and supportive with my Mum despite Mums mood swings and increasing aggressive behaviour. She was always reassuring and kept me well informed, appreciating my difficulties following surgery and not living locally. Her professional manner helped me make difficult decisions when it became apparent my parents needs couldn’t be met in their home.
JoannaBurton upon Trent
“I cant thank my dads amazing carers enough for all they do for him and my mum & the massive help they are to me. Today they have taken my dad on his birthday trip to Twycross zoo. he’s been so excited and is having the best time with them these ladies didn’t have to do this they wanted to because they care.”

“The gentleman pictured is my uncle. It’s been a rough 12 months, diagnosed with Parkinson’s and lost his wife of 52 years in January. Lyndsey was introduced to myself and my uncle around 10 months ago and it’s difficult to put into words how positive her impact has been. It isn’t just ‘care’ but ‘caring’.
Most people we support use more than one of these, often in the same visit.
Waking nights and sleeping nights, priced by the hours and type of support required.
Respectful help with washing, dressing and daily routines, at the pace that suits you.
Familiar surroundings, steady routines and patient support for people living with dementia.
Live-in care is priced on request, as a tailored package. There is no standard published rate, because the level of support, the hours of cover and whether a second carer is needed all differ from one household to the next. Tell us the situation and we will quote for it properly.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Your live-in carer has agreed rest and break periods — typically around two hours a day. Where the care package requires it, cover is arranged so support continues during that period. The whole arrangement is written into the care plan before care begins.
Overnight support is arranged as part of the package. Depending on what is needed, that may be a sleeping night or a waking night — our overnight care page explains the difference and how each is priced.
Somewhere of their own to sleep and take breaks, and normal use of the kitchen and bathroom. We will go through the practicalities honestly at the assessment, including whether the home is suitable.
Yes. It is often used for a fixed period — after a hospital stay, while a family carer takes a break, or while longer-term decisions are being made.
It is different, not automatically better. Live-in care keeps someone at home with one-to-one support; a care home provides a staffed building with on-site cover around the clock. We will give you an honest view of which fits, including when the honest answer is residential care.
Tell us what is needed and we will come back to you with a proper quotation rather than a headline figure.
A free care assessment is a conversation in your own home, not a sales visit. You are under no obligation to arrange anything afterwards.
