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.
Yes, Elder can arrange home care quickly. Our efficient technology and broad network of self-employed carers mean we can frequently arrange live-in care within 24 hours. In situations requiring immediate support, we've managed to match families with a carer on the same day.
