What is Live-In care?

Live-in care is a professional care service where a fully trained carer lives with you or your loved one in your home. It’s an ideal solution for those needing 24-hour home care in Bury St Edmunds or across Suffolk—offering continuous support, safety, and companionship without the need to move into a care home.

​

Whether due to age-related challenges, dementia, recovery from illness, or long-term disability, live-in care allows individuals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while receiving the help they need.

  • Prefer to remain at home rather than move into a care home

  • Need short-term respite or palliative care

  • Want a familiar, personalised approach to daily living

Hear from our clients

Highly recommend this care provider. Lot and his carer were compassionate, understanding and communicative. We had emergency short term live in care for my parents. Right from the start, our minds were at ease, with Lots professional and courteous manner. His carer was polite and hard working, looking after my parents, doing laundry, meals, trips to the shop and even watering my mums garden.
