Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis affects over 10 million people in the UK, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the joints. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, both of which can significantly impact daily life, particularly for older adults.
Live-in care for arthritis focuses on pain management, maintaining mobility, and supporting daily activities that become difficult with stiff, painful joints — from opening jars and fastening buttons to getting in and out of the bath.
Our carers understand that arthritis symptoms fluctuate. They adapt their support throughout the day, providing more help on bad days while encouraging independence and gentle exercise on better days.
How our carers help with Arthritis
Mobility Support
Gentle encouragement with prescribed exercises, support with walking and movement, and help maintaining flexibility and strength.
Pain Management
Ensuring pain medication is taken on schedule, applying heat or cold treatments, and supporting other pain management strategies.
Home Adaptations
Practical help with jar openers, tap turners, dressing aids, and other adaptations that make daily tasks manageable.
Personal Care
Sensitive help with bathing, dressing, and grooming when stiff or painful joints make these tasks difficult.
Meal Preparation
Preparing nutritious, anti-inflammatory meals and helping with tasks like chopping, stirring, and lifting that arthritis makes difficult.
Fall Prevention
Supporting safe movement around the home, especially on stairs and in wet areas like bathrooms.

"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."
