"The Carers have all been considerate and supportive to my wife’s needs, giving her time as she wishes to do things herself with care and support as needed. The management have been involved throughout the period of care, checking on any possible issues, listening to any concerns or changes in her needs; being responsive and proactive."

What are the benefits of live-in care services?


Live-in care provides you or your loved one the opportunity to stay in familiar home surroundings for as long as possible. Many of our Clients have strong ties to their community in Cheshire East, and are able to remain living at home with the help and support of a full-time CareGiver.

Live-in care allows for one-to-one support, personal care, and help with general household tasks and hygiene services. This tailored level of care allows our Clients to continue living at home and remain independent.

In addition to the flexibility of agreed work, our Clients benefit from the reassurance that there is another person in the house. Private live-in Carers are available to assist in case of an emergency or any unforeseen need. This reassurance is often a key factor in giving our Clients the confidence to continue living in their own homes in Cheshire East.

At Right at Home, we understand that there is never an easy time to be faced with the decision to move out of your home. Older people, and vulnerable people of all ages, may not want to uproot into an unfamiliar care home setting. Live-in care or one of our 24-hour care at home packages offer a viable alternative.

FAQs about our live-in care services in Cheshire East

What does full-time homecare involve?

Live-in care can take several forms but in essence, one of our Cheshire East-based Carers takes up residence in your own home and provides you with care whilst living with you.

Live-in care allows you to continue living in the comfort of your own home with a CareGiver available to assist you with your usual daily routine. With a live-in CareGiver, you will also have a trusted, friendly face to share hobbies and activities with. Many of our Clients enjoy time with their Carer outside of the home to have a day out for coffee and cake at Brookside Garden Centre or to participate in other community-based activities.

Our live-in care services in Stockport South, Poynton or Macclesfield are a real alternative to moving into a care home. Full-time homecare can provide you with the care and support you need to remain independent at home.

Why choose live-in care over residential care?

The primary benefit of live-in care is that our Clients are able to continue living at home in Cheshire East. Staying in their own home can offer a vital level of familiarity for those living with dementia or a condition that could cause confusion.

What’s more, live-in care enables our local CareGivers to build a relationship with their Client. Your CareGiver will work closely with you to understand your routine and needs. You will benefit from reassurance that there is another person in the house who will be able to assist you with care and agreed household tasks.

What’s the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care at home?

Live-in care is where a CareGiver lives with you in your own home. Your live-in CareGiver will support you with your daily routine, which may include helping you to get washed and dressed, preparing meals, accompanying you out in the community and general housekeeping.

Your live-in CareGiver will have breaks during the day to relax and enjoy some free time and will go to sleep during the evening. For Clients who need regular care during the night, or require someone on hand at all times, a team of Carers can provide around-the-clock support so families have peace of mind that their loved one’s needs are taken care of 24-hours a day.

How many hours should a live-in carer work?

The number of hours that a live-in CareGiver works will vary, depending on each Client’s unique needs.

Our live-in carers in Stockport South, Poynton or Macclesfield will work for an agreed number of hours each day. This timeframe will be defined at the outset of your care plan, in discussion with our Cheshire East team.

Get in touch with our Right at Home office in Cheshire East to discuss a potential care plan to suit you.

How much does a live-in carer cost?

The cost of our homecare is calculated based on the Client’s individual needs and the number of hours of care they require. In some circumstances Local Authorities can help to pay for live-in care. Take a look at Cheshire East Council and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council’s website for more information. 

Many Clients come to us wondering whether live-in homecare is cheaper than a nursing home or assisted living. Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to a residential care home. Your live-in CareGiver will take up residence in your home for an agreed period and the cost will vary depending on the types of care you require.
