What is Live-in Care?

Live-in care means one of our experienced Care Professionals moves into the client’s home to provide around-the-clock support. This includes help with personal care, medication, daily tasks, and companionship—allowing older adults to maintain their independence and enjoy everyday life in familiar surroundings.

It’s a positive alternative to residential care homes, offering one-to-one support and peace of mind for families.

With live-in care, your loved one can:

· Stay in their own home in Ilkeston, Hucknall, or areas like Long Eaton, Eastwood, or Giltbrook

· Get help with tasks like washing, dressing, shopping, and attending GP appointments

· Enjoy companionship and emotional support—reducing isolation and loneliness

· Maintain routines, like popping out to Giltbrook Retail Park, visiting Victoria Park in Ilkeston, or attending community events in Long Eaton

· Receive consistent care from someone who truly gets to know them
