What is live‑in care?
Live‑in care means a professional carer moves into the home to provide full‑time, 1:1 support. They are there day and night to help with daily tasks, personal care and reassurance, so you can stay in familiar surroundings rather than move into a care home.
Your live‑in carer supports you with getting up, washing and dressing, preparing meals, medication, mobility, companionship and staying engaged with your hobbies and community. The exact support is tailored to your needs, routines and preferences.
At Ceibraxs we match you with a Care Professional who has the right experience and shares your interests, so the relationship feels natural and respectful as well as safe.
Who is live‑in care suitable for?
Live‑in care can be the right choice in many situations, for both older and younger adults.
Live‑in care may suit you if:
You want to stay in your own home but now need regular help every day.
You are at risk of falls or night‑time confusion and need someone close by.
You live with dementia and benefit from familiar surroundings and routines.
You have multiple or complex health conditions that make care homes feel unsettling.
Your family are struggling to provide enough support by themselves.
It can be helpful for families who:
Worry about a loved one being alone at night.
Live further away and cannot visit as often as they’d like.
Feel exhausted from providing care 24/7 and need sustainable support.
Want one consistent person, not lots of different faces coming in and out.
How live‑in care works day‑to‑day
Live‑in care is built around your normal routines, not the other way round.
1 — Morning routine and personal care
Help with getting up, washing, dressing, continence care, and preparing breakfast at your own pace.
2 — Support throughout the day
Assistance with meals, medication, housework, appointments, shopping and hobbies, alongside companionship and conversation.
3 — Evenings and night‑time reassurance
Help getting ready for bed, support with night‑time toileting or confusion, and someone close by if you wake or feel unwell.
4 — Family and professionals kept in the loop
We liaise with family and other professionals where appropriate, keeping everyone informed and adjusting the care plan as needs change.

FAQs
1. Will I have the same live‑in carer all the time?
We aim for as much continuity as possible. In practice, your care may be shared between a small, consistent team who rotate to allow for breaks and time off, so you always know who is coming.
2. Where does the carer sleep?
Your carer needs their own private bedroom and somewhere secure to store belongings. We discuss this with you during the assessment to make sure the home is suitable for live‑in support.
3. What about meals and household bills?
Live‑in carers usually eat with the person they support and a reasonable food allowance is agreed in advance. We’ll explain clearly how costs and contributions work during your consultation.
4. Can live‑in care support dementia or complex needs?
Yes. We support adults over and under 65, including people with dementia, physical disabilities, learning disabilities and complex health needs, provided live‑in care is clinically appropriate and safe.
5. How do we get started?
Contact us for an initial discussion. We’ll arrange an assessment, create a personalised care plan and carefully match a carer; once everyone is happy, we agree a start date and begin the transition.
