Live-In Care

Round-the-clock support, without leaving home

When a loved one needs help at any hour, live-in care keeps them safe and settled in their own home. A caregiver is present day and night โ€” a familiar face for the whole day, every day.

When It's Right

When live-in care makes sense

Live-in care suits situations where visiting care is no longer enough but a care home isn't the right answer.

Needs around the clock

Frequent help through the night, or a high risk of falls and wandering, makes constant presence safer.

Staying home matters

The person is deeply attached to their home and thrives on familiar surroundings and routine.

One-to-one attention

Families want dedicated, personal care rather than the shared attention of a facility.

What's Included

Complete daily support, day and night

A live-in caregiver becomes a steady part of daily life โ€” practical help woven together with real companionship.

Personal care

Help with washing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility, offered patiently and respectfully.

Home & meals

Cooking to preference, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping the home safe and comfortable.

Night support

Reassurance and assistance overnight โ€” for toileting, repositioning, or simply a calming presence.

Caregiver Rotation

How rotation and rest work

  • Two to three matched caregivers work on rotation so care is continuous and no caregiver is ever overtired.
  • Rotations are planned in advance and shared with the family, so you always know who is on duty.
  • Caregivers receive scheduled daily rest periods, arranged so the client is never left unsupervised.
  • A consistent core team means your loved one always sees familiar, trusted faces.
  • A care coordinator supervises the team and steps in if a caregiver is unexpectedly unavailable.
Sleeping & Safeguards

Arrangements and safeguards

1

A private space

The caregiver needs a bed and basic private space in the home; we'll advise on simple, comfortable arrangements.

2

Clear boundaries

Duties, rest hours, and expectations are agreed in writing so everyone knows what's included.

3

Vetted & trained

Every live-in caregiver is background-checked, First Aid certified, and reference-verified.

4

Ongoing oversight

Regular coordinator check-ins and family feedback keep standards high and issues small.

Pricing Framework

Transparent, flexible pricing

Live-in care is charged as a daily rate that covers continuous presence and the rotating team. Rates depend on the level of care and night support required.

Standard live-in

Daily rate

Continuous day and night presence with personal care and companionship for a stable client.

High-support live-in

Enhanced daily rate

For clients needing frequent night care, mobility support, or dementia supervision.

Couples / two clients

Per-household rate

Cost-effective live-in cover where two people in the same home both need support.

Prices are indicative and confirmed after a personal assessment. Final quotes reflect the level of care, hours, and any specialist needs.

โ€œWe were terrified of a care home. Live-in care let Dad stay in the house he built, with people he trusts. The rotation means someone is always fresh and alert โ€” and always kind.โ€

Common Questions

Answers for families

How many caregivers are involved?
Usually two to three matched caregivers work on rotation. This keeps care continuous and safe while ensuring no caregiver is ever exhausted.
Does the caregiver sleep at night?
Caregivers take scheduled rest, but for clients needing night care we arrange cover so someone is always available. High-support plans include active night presence.
What space does a live-in caregiver need?
A bed and a basic private space to rest. We'll help you set up a simple, comfortable arrangement that works for your home.
Is live-in care cheaper than a care home?
For one-to-one, at-home support it's often comparable โ€” and it keeps your loved one in familiar surroundings. We'll give you a clear quote to compare.
Can nursing be added to live-in care?
Yes. Live-in caregiving is non-clinical, but we can coordinate Nyumbani Medical nurses to visit for any clinical needs alongside the live-in caregiver.
