Live-in Personal Care
Maintaining personal care and hygiene is fundamental to wellbeing and self-esteem. Our live-in carers provide sensitive, dignified support with all aspects of personal care — helping your loved one feel comfortable, clean, and confident every day.
What is live-in personal care?
Personal care covers all the everyday tasks that many of us take for granted — washing, bathing, dressing, oral care, hair care, and toileting. When illness, disability, or age makes these tasks difficult, a live-in carer provides gentle, respectful assistance.
Our carers understand that personal care is deeply private. They build trust gradually, always respecting boundaries and encouraging independence wherever possible. The goal is never to 'take over' — it's to provide just the right amount of support.
Unlike visiting carers who rush between clients, a live-in carer has the time to provide unhurried personal care at the pace your loved one is comfortable with. There's no clock-watching, no rushing — just calm, patient support.
What our personal care includes
Bathing & Washing
Help with baths, showers, or bed baths — whatever suits your loved one's needs and preferences. Always maintaining dignity and warmth.
Dressing & Grooming
Assistance choosing clothes, dressing, hair care, shaving, and nail care — helping your loved one feel presentable and confident.
Continence Support
Sensitive, discreet help with toileting, continence pads, and catheter care. Our carers handle this with professionalism and compassion.
Oral & Skin Care
Dental hygiene, denture care, skin moisturising, and monitoring for pressure sores or skin conditions.
Morning & Bedtime Routines
Consistent, reassuring routines for getting up and going to bed — particularly important for people with dementia or anxiety.
Moving & Handling
Safe assistance with transfers — bed to chair, in and out of the bath — using correct techniques and equipment where needed.

"Jason makes our lives as a family caring for my mother with Alzheimer's so easy. He creates a family for my mother by his choice of carers and we have consistency of care. He listens to our concerns and overcomes them. This agency is to be highly recommended."
"We currently have a live-in carer provided by Live-in Care Direct. She is doing a fantastic job with mum, we feel she is being very well looked after. Great communication with the carer and competitive pricing. Highly recommended."
"I can thoroughly recommend Live-in Care Direct. Jason was able to find a live in carer for my mother, on her discharge from hospital, with only 24 hours notice. The carers were kind and professional and there were never any problems."
"My wife recently suffered a stroke and after being in hospital for almost 2 months she has finally returned home. Without the help of Live-in Care Direct this would not have been possible. From my first contact, they were amazing and incredibly supportive."
"We had a wonderful carer called Elva care for my nan. She showed such kindness and compassion. The care provided was exceptional. Having a live-in carer meant our nan could remain living in her own home safely. I would definitely recommend Live-in Care Direct."
"Within 24 hours of making contact the wonderful carer moved into my parents' home. My father has advanced dementia. Within two hours of Elva arriving my mum began to relax. She has brought kindness, warmth, love and calm into the house."
"We recently booked a carer for a fortnight at short notice. My carer Sharon has been absolutely superb providing the exact level of care I needed. She is also a good cook too. They are very well organised. We made the right choice."
"Urgent live-in care needed in Devon for elderly mom having been let down by another agency. Response from Jason was compassionate and effective — live-in carer in place the next day, arranged in just 3 hours. Thank you so much."
