Do you know about direct payments?
If you’re entitled to funding from the NHS or your local authority, you’re usually able to get this paid directly to you. A direct payment gives you a lot more control over the type of care you want – ideal if you’re considering live-in care.

- Help with challenging behaviour
- Carer breaks to work around the care schedule
We’re not going to lock you into any long contracts. If your loved one’s care needs change, you’re able to leave with two weeks’ notice.
Advanced live-in care
Recommended for: Those in need of significant support, throughout the day and night. Typically, for those with advanced needs, who require continuous and specialist assistance.
