Staying in your own home brings comfort, familiarity, and independence. For this reason, many people choose Blue Ribbon’s Live-in Care service, which offers round-the-clock one-to-one support so you, or a loved one, can remain in a familiar setting.
In contrast to residential care, Live-in Care provides a more personalised approach. With this option, we combine personal assistance, companionship, and help with household tasks so that a supportive environment is created around your individual needs.
Because the care worker lives with you, support is always available—morning, night, weekends, or holiday periods. As a result, you’re able to enjoy life’s moments, large and small, with peace of mind and the reassurance that all care needs are covered 365 days a year.
I would positively without doubt recommend Blue Ribbon. The care and attention my dad is being given is outstanding and exceptional. The manager and staff treat my dad with dignity and self respect and they all go that extra mile to help with other matters concerning him. They are absolutely 100%. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.
The process begins with a friendly assessment. During this stage, ee listen carefully to your needs, routines, and preferences so that the care provided feels personal and reassuring.
After that, we carefully match you with a live-in care worker who has the right skills and shares your outlook. As a result, this thoughtful approach helps to build trust, companionship, and a positive daily relationship from the very start.
Once care is in place, your care worker moves into the home and provides round-the-clock support. This can include assistance with personal care, medication, and mobility, as well as help with companionship and housekeeping. In addition, your care worker is always there to offer encouragement, reassurance, and practical support.
Furthermore, to ensure everything continues to run smoothly, our management team stays in touch. Care plans are reviewed regularly and updated whenever needs change, so that you always receive the right level of support.
Call our team of experts to talk through your options and any questions you may have. Our number can be found at the top of any page.
Your local care manager will visit you to discuss your requirements and learn about the type of carer you’d like.
We’ll help to match you with a carer that meets your preferences and has the right skills and experience for your needs.
Live-in care is for anybody who wishes to remain independent in their own home, but requires a continuous level of support, whether that is basic (companionship) or more complex.
We pride ourselves on our ability to listen to, understand and exceed your needs and expectations. However, we also recognise that choosing the right type of care can be a bewildering decision. Let us use our experience on your behalf and present you with a clear and realistic solution.
To make this easier, we’ve put together some information that we think will help you understand who Live In care is for and how we can help support you and the person who requires the care.
Hospital Discharge
The urgent need for care is often placed upon families when a successful discharge is dependant on the appropriate level of care and support being in place.
A seamless transition from Hourly Visiting Care
It can be difficult to determine who Live-in care is for? It is common for us to be approached by families who have been receiving a number of hourly care visits but find that it no longer meets their needs.
From Care Home back to your own home
We support many people and their family who have trialled a residential care home but found that the privacy and dignity one can only experience in your own home is compromised too much.
Changing care agencies
About a quarter of our customers came to us because their needs were not being met or because they were unhappy with their previous care provider.
Caring for couples
Live-in care gives couples who want to stay together the opportunity to do so regardless of their care needs.

Live-in care is a fully personalised service where a trained carer moves into your home to provide round-the-clock support. They assist with daily tasks like washing, dressing, medication, mobility, meal preparation, and companionship — all in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.
Live-in care is ideal for individuals who need continuous support but want to remain at home. It’s especially helpful for people with dementia, complex health needs, mobility challenges, or those who simply feel safer having someone close by 24/7.
Our live-in care typically begins from around £1,160 per week. The exact cost depends on the level of support required, such as medical needs, mobility assistance, or night-time care. Following a free, no-obligation assessment, we’ll provide a clear and tailored quote so you know exactly what’s included.
To give you perspective: the average weekly cost of a residential care home in the UK is £1,298, and nursing care homes average £1,535 per week (Carehome.co.uk, Sept 2025). This means that live-in care is not only comparable in price, but it also allows you to remain in the comfort of your own home with one-to-one personalised support.
Live-in carers can help with:
Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
Meal preparation
Medication reminders and administration
Housekeeping tasks
Companionship and emotional support
Escorting to appointments or social activities
All care is planned around your lifestyle, routine, and preferences.
We can typically arrange live-in care within 24 to 72 hours following your initial enquiry and assessment. Our team will act swiftly to ensure the right support is in place when you need it.
Live-in care allows you to remain in your own home, surrounded by familiar comforts, with one-to-one support. In contrast, residential care involves moving into a care home where staff support multiple residents. Many people prefer live-in care for its comfort, independence, and personalised approach.
Yes. We offer both short-term and long-term live-in care. Some families choose it for respite, post-hospital recovery, or end-of-life support, while others rely on it as a permanent alternative to residential care.
