Exploring Alternatives to a Care Home
If you’re struggling to look after a loved one and worried they’ll need to move into a care home, it’s good to know there are other options. Our Live-in Care service, for instance, is often a much better fit for your loved one’s needs.
Exploring Alternatives to a Care Home
The most appealing alternative to a care home is Live-in Care, this is because Live-in Care enables your loved one to stay in the place they love best: their home.
Your loved one will enjoy 1-to-1 care from their own Care Expert. The exact type of care and for how long all depends on your loved one’s needs and support can be provided so that your loved one can continue their usual routine.
Why Choose Live-in Care?
Live-in Care gives you real choice. The choice for your loved one to feel free. The choice to continue birdwatching and the other hobbies they love. The choice to create a routine that enables them to live the life they want.
This can either be long-term, if your loved one has complex care needs, or short-term if, for instance, they need extra support after surgery.
The important thing is that it gives your loved ones a say in how they live a life that’s fulfilling to them.
Live-in Care vs a Care Home
If you’re trying to decide between Live-in Care and a care home, a lot of it will come down to your personal situation and what your preferences are. With that in mind, there are certain physical and emotional benefits to choosing Live-in Care instead of a care home that you should know about. These include:
Our Support
We support all aspects of daily life to develop the skills required to live more independently. This includes:
- Personal care
- Healthy eating
- Taking medication
- Maintaining the home
- Paying bills and budgeting
- Maintaining tenancies
- Support with benefits

Care Pathway
If your primary carer needs a break, our staff can provide care and support for a few hours or all day. You can enjoy some time away with confidence, knowing that our trained and compassionate staff will provide physical, practical, domestic, and emotional support to you or your loved one.
This option may also be suitable if you have recently been discharged from the hospital. Our caring nurses can provide the necessary care and support in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to focus on your recovery and enjoy familiar surroundings. We prioritize maintaining your privacy, dignity, and self-respect throughout the process.
