Live-in Care

Live-in care provides you with a dedicated carer who lives with you in your own home, offering round-the-clock support and companionship. At Divine Health Services, we believe that everyone deserves to remain in the place they feel most comfortable — surrounded by their own belongings, memories, and routines.

How Live-in Care Works

Your live-in carer will move into your home and become a trusted part of your daily life. They will assist with personal care, medication management, meal preparation, housekeeping, and companionship — all while respecting your privacy and independence. Live-in carers typically work on a rota basis, ensuring you always have a familiar face looking after you.

We carefully match carers to clients based on personality, interests, and care needs to ensure the best possible relationship. Many of our clients and their carers develop genuine friendships that enrich both their lives.

Live-in Care for Couples

One of the greatest advantages of live-in care is that couples can continue living together, even when one or both partners need support. A single live-in carer can support both individuals, maintaining the bond and companionship that is so important to wellbeing. This is often significantly more cost-effective than two places in a residential care home.

A Real Alternative to Residential Care

Live-in care is often a more affordable and comfortable alternative to residential care. You stay in familiar surroundings, keep your pets, maintain your social connections, and continue living life on your own terms. Research consistently shows that people who receive care at home experience better outcomes, greater satisfaction, and improved mental wellbeing.

What Your Live-in Carer Can Help With

• Personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting assistance
• Medication management — reminders, administration, and liaison with pharmacies
• Meal preparation — nutritious meals tailored to your dietary needs and preferences
• Housekeeping — laundry, cleaning, shopping, and maintaining a comfortable home
• Companionship — conversation, activities, outings, and emotional support
• Mobility support — safe transfers, walking assistance, and fall prevention
• Appointments — accompanying you to medical appointments and social engagements

Quality and Consistency

We carry out regular quality checks and care plan reviews to ensure your care continues to meet your evolving needs. Our office team is available around the clock to address any concerns, and we pride ourselves on the consistency of our care — as one family told us, "No staff left during our time, hence consistency."
