About the Service

What is Live-in Care?

Live-in care means a trained, vetted carer moves into your home and provides continuous, one-to-one support around the clock. Unlike care homes, you keep your independence, your routines, your possessions — and your pets.

Our live-in carers are carefully matched to each client based on personality, interests, and care needs — ensuring a relationship built on trust and genuine companionship.

  • 24/7 dedicated one-to-one support
  • Remain in your own familiar home
  • Maintain your daily routines and lifestyle
  • Full personal care, medication & meal support
  • Pets welcome — no need to rehome them
  • Family can visit freely at any time
  • Often more cost-effective than a care home for couples

How It Works

Getting started with live-in care is simple. Our team guides you through every step of the process.

1

Initial Assessment

A member of our care team visits you at home — completely free of charge — to understand your needs, preferences, health conditions, and lifestyle. We listen carefully and answer all your questions.

2

Matched Carer

We hand-select a carer whose skills, experience, and personality align with yours. You meet your carer before they move in, and we only proceed when you are completely happy with the match.

3

Ongoing Support

Our care management team conducts regular check-ins and reviews to ensure the highest standards of care are maintained. We are always available if circumstances change or adjustments are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our live-in care service.

Live-in care is a form of home care where a fully trained carer moves into your home to provide round-the-clock support. Unlike hourly care visits, live-in care means there is always someone present — offering complete peace of mind for both the client and their family.

With live-in care, you stay in your own home and receive entirely personalised one-to-one support. In a care home, you share staff with many other residents and must adapt to a fixed routine. Live-in care preserves your independence, your environment, and your lifestyle on your own terms.

Costs vary depending on the level of care required. Our team will provide a clear, transparent quote following the initial assessment. For couples, live-in care is often significantly more affordable than two separate care home placements. Please call us on 020 8958 8899 for an indicative quote.

Yes. We carefully match carers to clients based on care needs, personality, and shared interests. You will meet your carer before they begin, and if you feel the match is not right, we will find an alternative without question. Your comfort and confidence in your carer is our priority.

We maintain a team of experienced relief carers who are briefed on your care plan and can step in seamlessly should your regular carer need time off. Your care will never be interrupted — we manage all cover arrangements for you.

Yes. Your live-in carer will have their own private room in your home and will be present throughout the day and overnight. They are entitled to a minimum of two hours of personal time per day, during which a secondary arrangement may be required for higher-needs clients.

Yes. PB Care is registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. All our carers undergo enhanced DBS checks, comprehensive training, and ongoing supervision to ensure the highest standards of care.
