Tailoured Care Pathways
We recognise that no two situations are alike, so we build three flexible pathways to match differing needs:
- Companionship & Everyday Help – Ideal for an older adult who is mainly independent but benefits from daily conversation, meal preparation and a little housekeeping.
- Complex & Dementia Support – Round-the-clock monitoring, gentle routines and carefully structured activities that reduce anxiety and keep loved ones safe at home.
- Short-Term & Rehabilitation – Live-in assistance after surgery, illness or a fall, helping you regain strength and confidence without a prolonged hospital stay.
Each pathway starts with a free assessment, followed by a written care plan agreed with you and your family.
Meet Your Local Care Team
Our South East service is managed by a dedicated regional team. Every live-in carer is:
- Vetted and DBS-checked before placement
- Trained to national care standards with ongoing supervision
- Supported by a named care manager who makes regular home visits and liaises with GPs, district nurses and local NHS trusts
This structure means you receive both the personal touch of a hand-picked carer and the security of a professional organisation behind them.
Case Study: Joan in Worthing
Joan, 78, suffered a minor stroke last spring. Her daughter feared a care-home move would uproot the life Joan loved by the sea. We placed Anna, an experienced live-in carer, within four days. Anna helps Joan dress, prepares meals rich in nutrients recommended by her speech and language therapist, and accompanies her on short seafront walks for gentle exercise. Six months on, Joan’s mobility has improved, and her daughter reports “peace of mind I never thought possible.”

Who Benefits from Live-in Care?
Live-in care is remarkably flexible and can suit a wide variety of situations. It is ideal for older adults who want to stay in familiar surroundings, couples wishing to remain together even when one partner’s needs change, and people with complex conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis who require consistent one-to-one support. Families facing hospital discharge, post-operative recovery or a short-term respite gap also find live-in care invaluable, as it bridges the transition back home without the upheaval of a residential move.

- NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) – full funding for those with primary health needs
- Local-authority direct payments – contributions for eligible social-care needs
