Live-in Care at Home

For many people, yes. One of the main reasons families explore live-in care is because they want their loved one to remain in familiar surroundings rather than move into residential care.

Live-in care allows individuals to continue living in their own home while receiving dedicated one-to-one support tailored to their needs. They can maintain established routines, stay connected to family and friends, keep pets, and continue participating in the activities that are important to them.

The biggest difference is that support is built around the individual, rather than the individual adapting to a care setting.

With live-in care, support takes place in the person's own home and is tailored to their routines, preferences and goals. This can often provide greater flexibility, continuity and personal choice than moving into a residential environment.

For many people, remaining in familiar surroundings also has a positive impact on confidence, wellbeing and quality of life.

Yes. Many of the individuals we support have complex needs arising from conditions such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological conditions, respiratory needs, physical disabilities, autism or mental health conditions.

In many cases, these needs do not exist in isolation. Individuals may require support across multiple areas of their health and wellbeing, which is why we take a coordinated approach involving families, professionals and multidisciplinary teams wherever appropriate.

The aim of live-in care is not to take over; it's to provide the right support while enabling people to remain as independent as possible.

For some individuals, this may involve support with personal care or medication. For others, it may focus on maintaining employment, attending education, accessing the community, pursuing hobbies or maintaining family relationships.

We work with each individual to understand what independence means to them and tailor support around the goals and outcomes that matter most.

Absolutely. We regularly support individuals transitioning home following hospital treatment, specialist rehabilitation or a significant change in health.

Returning home can be a major milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. By providing dedicated support from the outset, live-in care can help individuals build confidence, establish routines and adjust to life at home while maintaining progress towards longer-term goals.

Every package is subject to regular review and oversight by the allocated Care Manager or Clinical Manager.

Reviews consider changes in health, wellbeing, support requirements, outcomes, medication management, equipment, risk assessments and client feedback. This helps ensure support remains safe, effective and responsive as circumstances evolve.

Yes. Our services are regulated by the relevant care regulators, including the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) in Wales.

This provides reassurance that care is delivered within robust clinical, governance and safeguarding frameworks, and is regularly assessed against recognised standards for quality, safety and effectiveness.

Active Assistance is registered for both Personal Care and the Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury, reflecting our ability to support individuals with complex health needs as well as day-to-day care requirements.

Many people's needs change as circumstances evolve, health conditions progress or recovery goals develop.

Support is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains aligned with the individual's needs and aspirations. This may involve increasing support, introducing additional specialist expertise, or adapting the way care is delivered.

As part of Active Care Group, we can also work with individuals, families and professionals to explore wider support options where appropriate, helping ensure continuity of care, as needs change.

Your first conversation doesn't need to be a commitment to care.

We will take time to understand your situation, answer any initial questions, and discuss the support you may need. From there, we can arrange an assessment and recommend a care plan tailored to the individual.

For many families, that initial conversation provides valuable clarity and reassurance at a time when there can be a lot of uncertainty.

Funding arrangements vary depending on individual circumstances.

Live-in care may be funded privately, through NHS Continuing Healthcare, local authority funding, direct payments, case management arrangements or personal injury and insurance settlements.

Our team can help explain the different options available and guide you through the process.
