Live-in Care — FAQs

Do I need a spare room?

Yes — your live-in carer needs a private space to rest and store belongings. We’ll advise on practical setup.

What about nights?

Depending on your needs we’ll agree sleeping-night or waking-night arrangements and ensure safe cover.

Can we trial it?

Absolutely. Many people start with a short-term package or step-down from hospital before moving long-term.
