What is Live-in Care? A Closer Look at a Bespoke Option for Older Adults in Nottingham

At Home Instead Nottingham, we understand that there’s no place quite like home—especially when it comes to growing older with dignity, comfort, and independence. That’s why we offer live-in care, a highly personalised and compassionate service that allows older adults to remain in the place they know and love while receiving one-to-one support from a dedicated Care Professional.

What Does Live-in Care Involve?

Live-in care means a specially chosen Care Professional moves into your loved one’s home to provide continuous support and companionship. This bespoke service allows clients to maintain their daily routines and lifestyle while knowing that there is always someone on hand to help when needed.

It’s an ideal alternative to residential care homes for many older adults across Nottingham—especially for those who value independence but require a little extra support to remain safe and well at home.

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

· Remaining in the comfort of their own home rather than moving into a care facility

· Continuity of care from someone they can get to know and trust

· One-to-one attention from a professional who understands their individual needs

· Help with everyday tasks, such as washing, dressing, housework, or shopping

· Companionship and emotional support, reducing loneliness and isolation

A Tailored and Trusted Approach

We know that inviting someone to live in your home is a big decision. That’s why we use our unique, relationship-led matching process to ensure that each live-in Care Professional is carefully selected with your loved one’s needs, personality, and preferences in mind.

At our local office in NG7, near the Showcase Cinema, every Care Professional undergoes industry-leading training to prepare them for the role. But it doesn’t stop there. We continue to support them throughout their placement with regular weekly catch-ups and in-person visits from one of our experienced Client Team Supervisors, ensuring a high standard of care is maintained and your loved one always feels supported.

Our live-in Care Professionals are more than just professional carers—they’re friendly faces who take time to understand what brings joy, comfort, and confidence to everyday life. Whether it’s sharing stories over a cup of tea, helping with medication reminders, cooking favourite meals, or accompanying a client to a GP appointment in town, our Care Professionals are there to make life easier and more enjoyable.
