What's the difference between live-in care and care homes?
Choosing the right care option can feel overwhelming. While both live-in care and care homes provide professional support, the experience, level of independence, and personal attention can be very different. Here’s a simple comparison to help you decide what’s best for your loved one.
| Live-in care | Care Home | |
|---|---|---|
✓ Stay in the home they know and love | ✖ Move to a new unknown environment | |
✓ 1-to-1 tailored care from a carer of your choice | ✖ Rotating staff of carers, typical ratio 7-to-1 | |
✓ Easy visits from family and friends | ✖ Time-bound pre-booked visits | |
✓ Elderly couples can stay together, supported by a single carer | ✖ Elderly couples need to reallocate together in order to stay together | |
✓ Keep hobbies, rituals, pets, and local communities | ✖ A new environment with new rules | |
✓ A carer can start in as little as 24 hours from first request | ✖ Waiting lists that often stretch for months |
