Yes, live-in care is an excellent and often more cost-effective alternative to a care home. Care homes frequently involve extra fees beyond the headline price, making live-in care a cheaper option, especially for couples who avoid paying for two separate rooms. Unlike care homes, live-in care means a focus solely on your loved one. This allows them to remain comfortably in their own home, receiving dedicated one-to-one support for better value and greater peace of mind than less individualised residential care.
With Elder’s extensive network of self-employed carers, we can typically set up live-in care within 24 hours. In urgent cases, it's often possible to find a suitable carer on the same day.
Elder provides personalised home care services, including live-in, respite and visiting care. Every care plan is fully tailored to the individual's specific requirements, ensuring personalised support for your loved one.
