Packages We Provide
Live-in Care Prices Can Vary
Live in care UK is a simple solution for patients seeking palliative care at home anywhere in the UK. Home health care works out cheaper than a residential care home, please enquire to receive a price as every situation is different.
Night-Time Care at £185 Per Night
To provide peace of mind the carer will be awake throughout the night in order to carry out any duties that are required. Night-time care at home is a great way of helping families get a good night's sleep without the worry of their loved ones.
Day-Time Care From £35 Per Hour
To ensure high quality, personal care, visits are a minimum of 4 hours but we find that the majority of our clients pay a little extra to have full time live-in care.

Live-in Care Direct CEO, Jason Russell, Discusses Enhancing Lives Through Care Services, Declining Venture Capital Investment, and Opinions on Government's Digital Health and Social Care Strategy.
As an entrepreneur since the age of 16, I initiated Live-in Care Direct while concurrently managing my FCA regulated debt counseling firm, Debt Wave, which I established nearly 9 years ago. By 2018, Debt Wave had evolved into one of the largest introductory debt counseling agencies in the UK, offering assistance to individuals facing financial challenges through IVA’s, Debt Management Plans, and DRO’s.

Why should you use our live in care agency rather than employing a private carer yourself?
"I would like to thank the whole Live-in Care Direct team for the support, care, and assistance they gave us. We were really worried because Dad totally refused to go to a residential home, and at the same, we weren't able to provide 24/7 care either. I was about to quit my job when one of my friends recommended me Live-in Care Direct. Today, I'm so happy that I made the right choice in hiring their professional elderly carers. They were truly Godsend."
Rebecca
Happy Client from Manchester
"My mother-in-law is extremely pleased with the care and support she is receiving from Live-in Care Direct. The communication is clear & timely. Their assisted living home care professionals are highly attentive, caring, and supportive. Observing my mother-in-law and seeing her happy after a major accident offers tremendous peace of mind. All thanks to Live-in Care Direct. I would highly recommend them. Your aged loved one is indeed in great hands with them."
John
Happy Client from Wales
"Live-in Care Direct has been a blessing for us. I live 4 hours away from my father and I can't really stand the fact I'm not able to provide him with the care he needs. So, I decided to hire a professional home carer who can stay with my Dad for extended hours. Although I had two more carer agencies to help me out, but Live-in Care Direct has been the best. They do an excellent job and don't have to be told what or how to do it. 10/10 recommended aged care agency in the UK."
Jenny
Happy Client from Fife
"Finally, a lovely company that understood my requirements from the begining, finding me the support I so desperately needed with a personal touch, highly recommend and I won't be going elsewhere. Keep up the good work, you are all wonderful, especially Mel! Thank you"
James
Happy Client from Southend-on-Sea
"Such a professional and friendly company that I am so lucky to have come across. Thank you so much for helping me and supporting my family along the way, nothing was to much and we are forever grateful. I would also like to thank you dearly for the care provided to my wife, which was outstanding! Her last wishes were met and we never expected to be blessed with a company like yours. A huge thanks to Mel & Jen"
Peter
Happy Client from Newcastle
"We struggled to find the right care that we were looking for until we came across your company who were amazing, fast and reliable after being let down so much in the past by other conmpanies. From start to finish the process was smooth and informative. Thank you for helping me stay in the comfort of my own home and allowing me to keep my dignity. If there are angels out there, you certainly are the angels! With Love, HP."

Happy Client from Leeds
Questions to Ask
Live-in care means a professional carer lives in the home of the person needing support. They provide help with daily activities, personal care, meals, medication, and companionship, allowing individuals to stay safe and independent in their own homes.
The cost of live-in care in the UK usually ranges between £800 and £1,500 per week, depending on the level of care needed, location, and whether it’s through an agency or privately arranged.
Anyone who needs regular assistance with daily activities, medical support, or companionship can qualify for live-in care. This includes elderly people, individuals with disabilities, those recovering from illness, or people with long-term health conditions.
24-hour live-in care typically costs £1,200 to £2,000 per week in the UK. The exact cost depends on the intensity of support, specialist needs, and the agency providing the service.
Here are the reasons:
- When you hire a private carer, you have to do a background check and screening on your own. And after you hire them, you have to supervise their every move, which isn't easy at all. At Live-in Care Direct, we follow a reliable and rigorous process to screen and interview caregivers to get the highest quality of care that you deserve.
- When your private carer takes sick leave or leaves without any warning to handle some family matter, you need to take care of your ageing adult on your own or find a replacement. When you use our agency, we always have a backup caregiver.
- Our carers are young, enthusiastic, and compassionate and work under a specific care plan built by our experts. We also have a team of specialised supervisors who keep a check on the level of care being delivered. Our care services include 24/7 care and hourly care.
Most importantly, we are there for the journey. When you hire our live in carers, you're hiring a whole team of individuals who care.
One of the reasons clients choose us as their trusted elder care agency in the UK is our ability to assign caregivers that perfectly match the needs of clients. We meet clients and their loved ones and assess their requirements. Our Care Manager will thoroughly understand the level of care needed and along with the care team, brainstorm on which carer would be the best fit. Although our matchmaking skills are 100% correct, but if the client wants to switch to another caregiver for any reason, we proceed with that.
Live-in home care is one of the safest and most secure options available in the market for your elderly loved one when you cannot provide the level of care needed. Live-in Care Direct focuses on keeping our clients as safe and shielded as possible while experiencing the highest quality of life from being in the comfort of their own home.
Our live-in home care for elders includes assistance with:
- Bathing, grooming & dressing
- Personal care needs
- Cooking/ meal preparation
- Medication management
- Bathroom assistance
- Grocery shopping
- Washing, drying & folding laundry
- Cleaning & mopping rooms, kitchens, lobby & bathrooms
- Companionship care
- Transit to or from the hospital appointments
- Terminal illnesses care like Dementia, stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Cancer, and more.
