Live in Care
When a loved one needs round-the-clock support, live-in care can be a compassionate and cost-effective alternative to moving into a residential care home. Live-in care allows your loved one to remain in a familiar environment, their home, their memories, their routine, without compromising on the quality of care they receive.
​
As an independent care consultant, I help families understand all of their live-in care options across Swindon and the surrounding areas, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire.
I explain what live-in care involves, what it costs, and how to find a carer who is the right fit, so you can make an informed decision without the pressure of going it alone.
​
Live-in care may be the right choice when your loved one needs support with personal care, mobility, medication, meals, or companionship, particularly for those living with dementia, Parkinson's, MS, or recovering from a stroke.

FAQ'S
1 / How much does live in care cost?
Live-in care is often more cost-effective than people expect, especially when compared to the fees of a residential care home, particularly for couples or where one person's needs are the main driver of cost. Costs vary depending on the level of care needed, but Nancy can talk you through realistic figures for your situation and help you compare this against other options, so you're making a decision based on facts rather than guesswork.
3/ What's the difference between live in
care & a care home?
Live-in care means a carer moves into your loved one's home and provides one-to-one support there, rather than your loved one moving into a residential setting. This means they keep their own bed, their own routine, their pets, and their independence, while still getting the round-the-clock support they need. For many families, staying somewhere familiar makes a real difference, especially for those living with dementia, where a change of environment can be unsettling.
2 / How do you find the right carer for a
loved one?
Matching isn't just about qualifications and experience, it's about personality, shared interests, and how someone fits into a household. Nancy takes the time to understand your loved one's needs, routines, and character, then works to find a carer who's genuinely a good match, not just the first available option.
