Live-In Care in Totton

Live-in care is a type of care service where a professional carer moves into the client’s home to provide round-the-clock care and companionship. This arrangement is ideal for elderly people, those with medical conditions, vulnerable adults, and anyone requiring daily support with personal care, medication management, domestic duties, or social activities.

Unlike residential care, live-in support preserves daily routines, personal independence, and community ties. It’s a consistent care solution that helps individuals live life with freedom, with help always on hand, day or night.

Totton is a welcoming community with easy access to Southampton’s hospitals and healthcare professionals, making it an ideal setting for people with care requirements. Live-in care allows individuals to remain connected to their local area, from familiar shops and churches to treasured green spaces like Eling Tide Mill and Testwood Lakes.

Key benefits include:

• Peace of mind for families – knowing a trusted carer is always present.
• Tailored routines – support that respects habits, preferences, and dignity.
• A long-term solution – ongoing care that adapts to changing needs.
• Cost-effective for couples – often less than the average cost of two care home placements.
• Better infection control – compared to communal care homes.

Our dedicated care professionals aren’t just trained, they’re passionate about improving lives. Each Care Assistant and live-in carer undergoes mandatory training and receives specialist training in areas such as dementia, arthritis care, and end-of-life support. We believe in building a consistent care relationship based on trust, understanding, and professional care experience.

We’ve received heartwarming feedback from families across the South East, all recognising the difference our lovely carers have made in difficult times.
