Live in Care

What is Live-In Care?

Live-in care means having a dedicated carer who lives with you in your home, providing round-the-clock support, reassurance, and companionship. It’s an ideal option for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving the care they need.

With live-in care, you or your loved one can stay in familiar surroundings, surrounded by treasured memories and community ties, while enjoying continuous care and assistance. Our ICARE Solution Stockport live-in carers are carefully chosen not only for their skills and experience, but also for their warmth, empathy, and ability to build meaningful relationships. Your care plan will be personalised, and your carer will be matched to your preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

What Live-In Care Offers:

• 24/7 assistance with personal care, meals, medication, and daily routines
• Companionship and emotional support to reduce loneliness
• Help with household tasks, shopping, and appointments
• Peace of mind for families, knowing their loved one is never alone
• The ability to remain at home safely, without the stress of moving into residential care

At ICARE Solution Stockport, our goal is to make live-in care not just about meeting needs, but about enhancing life keeping independence, dignity, and comfort at the heart of everything we do.

Are Live-In Care and 24-Hour Care the Same?

Although live-in care and 24-hour care may sound similar, they meet slightly different needs.

• Live-In Care – A carer lives with you in your home, offering continuous support, companionship, and assistance with daily routines. However, the carer also requires rest and sleep time, so it may not cover every moment of the day and night.
• 24-Hour Care – This is a higher level of support designed for people with advanced care needs. It usually involves a main live-in carer supported by additional carers who step in during the day or overnight, ensuring someone is always awake and available.

At ICARE Solution Stockport, we offer both options depending on your needs and preferences.

When Live-In or 24-Hour Care May Be Needed

1. Advanced Dementia
   If your loved one is living with dementia and cannot be left alone safely, a live-in or 24-hour carer provides security, reassurance, and essential support.
2. Physical Disability
   For those with severe mobility issues or ongoing physical needs, live-in care ensures continuous personal assistance in the comfort of home.
3. Palliative & End-of-Life Needs
   If you are living with a progressive or terminal condition, 24-hour care can provide round-the-clock comfort, pain management, and emotional support for both you and your family.
4. Age-Related Frailty
   Frequent falls, reduced strength, or difficulty completing everyday tasks may require consistent support, which live-in care can provide.
5. Living Alone
   Having a live-in carer means constant companionship, emotional support, and peace of mind for both the individual and their family.
6. When Loved Ones Are Unable to Visit
   If family members live far away or cannot visit often, live-in care ensures professional support and companionship, reducing isolation and loneliness.

Companionship Through Live-In Care

At ICARE Solution Stockport, we believe care goes beyond meeting physical needs – it’s also about offering warmth, reassurance, and meaningful companionship. Our live-in carers provide round-the-clock support while being a trusted friend in your home.

For many people, challenges such as needing help with bathing, dressing, or using mobility aids can feel overwhelming. Having a dedicated carer not only ensures your safety but also offers comfort, laughter, and companionship each day. Families also gain peace of mind knowing their loved one has someone to rely on.

We carefully select carers who are not only highly trained but also genuinely compassionate, friendly, and approachable – the kind of people who bring positivity into your daily routine.
