Live-in Care
Live-in Care is increasingly becoming popular as an alternative to moving into a care home. Live-in care is when a professional carer lives in their client’s home to enable their needs to be met. This means they are available to help throughout the day and at night, if necessary – although they are obviously entitled to breaks by law.
