Right at Home is one of the most highly rated national home care providers on homecare.co.uk and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of those we care for and their families – one way in which we do this is by offering live in care for our customers as a alternative to a care home.

What is live in care?

Live in care is when a fully trained carer lives in your own home with you. This provides peace of mind for you and your family. Our live in carer will support you with your day-to-day needs and will be available over night when required. For many, live in care prevents hospitalisation and admission in to a care home.

Live in care helps you to maintain your independence whilst also saving you money – one of the benefits of live in care is that it tends to be substantially cheaper than care homes.

What does live in care mean to you?

  • One-to-one support
  • A personalised service – doing what you want, when you want it
  • No upheaval
  • Flexibility around your needs
  • Have visitors over any time you want
  • Companionship and friendship
  • Staying at home with your much-loved pets
  • Maintain your routines
  • Affordable alternative to moving in to a care home
  • Enables you to stay comfortable in your own home until the end of life – and that’s something incredibly special.
  • Regular follow-up from the Right at Home Sutton and Epsom team to ensure you’re happy with the service
