What is live-in care?
All About Home Care arranges live-in care across Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Maidstone: a dedicated, trained carer lives in your home and provides round-the-clock support, as an alternative to moving into a care home.
Live-in care means a dedicated, trained carer lives in your home and provides round-the-clock support. It is the most comprehensive form of home care available, and for many people it is a better, and often cheaper, option than a care home.
People in their own homes tend to be happier. They sleep better, eat better, and keep their sense of self and independence for longer. The evidence for this is strong, and it’s what we see in the clients we support.
