What is Live-in Care? A Personalised Alternative to Residential Care in Central Nottingham and West Bridgford

At Home Instead Central Nottingham and West Bridgford, we believe that home is more than just a place—it’s where we feel most ourselves. That’s why we offer live-in care, a compassionate, relationship-led service that allows older adults to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving personalised, one-to-one support.

Whether you’re in West Bridgford, The Meadows, further afield or right in the heart of the city, our live-in care service is designed to help your loved one live life their way—with familiar routines, familiar surroundings, and a trusted Care Professional by their side.

What is Live-in Care?

Live-in care means one of our specially selected, highly trained Care Professionals moves into your loved one’s home to provide round-the-clock support and companionship. It’s a warm and flexible alternative to residential care, enabling older adults to stay independent, safe, and well in the place they know and love.

With live-in care, your loved one will benefit from:

· Staying in their own home, avoiding the disruption of moving to a care home

· One-to-one care and attention from a dedicated Care Professional

· Continuity and trust, with the same person providing care day-to-day

· Companionship, someone to talk to, share meals with, and enjoy everyday moments

· Support with daily tasks, such as getting washed and dressed, attending appointments, or keeping the house clean and tidy

Carefully Matched Care Professionals

We understand that welcoming someone new into the home can feel daunting. That’s why we take the time to get it right. Using our relationship-led matching process, we ensure that your loved one is paired with a Care Professional who not only understands their needs but also complements their personality and lifestyle.

Our live-in Care Professionals are trained at our local office in NG7, near the Showcase Cinema, and they’re supported just as closely as our clients. Through regular weekly catch-ups and in-person visits from our Client Team Supervisors, we ensure that everything is running smoothly, and that both the client and Care Professional are happy and well-supported.

We believe the strongest care relationships are built on trust and genuine friendship. That’s why our Care Professionals don’t just provide practical help with things like medication, housework, or shopping—they take the time to get to know what really matters to your loved one. Whether it’s joining them for a walk along the River Trent, helping with the crossword, or simply sitting down for a friendly chat, they’re there to make life that bit easier and more enjoyable.
