Live-in care
What is live-in care?
Live in care is when a professional carer comes and lives with you in your own home to provide you with around the clock care, companionship and support so you can live a better quality of life, in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. We provide support with a number of things; from personal care needs and support with medication, prompting, to housekeeping tasks and companionship.
Live-in care provides older adults with the opportunity to:
– Receive care in the comfort of their own home instead of a residential care facility
– Benefit from consistent, long-term care provided by a live-in professional
– Enjoy personalized, one-on-one attention from a dedicated caregiver
– Have assistance with everyday tasks, such as housekeeping, attending appointments, or personal care routines like washing and dressing
– Experience companionship and emotional support

Considering Live-in Care?
There are common situations, conditions and events where live-in care offers the solution to challenges you might face moving forward:
Long-term conditions: Diseases like Parkinson’s require close and careful monitoring. Our Care Pros are trained to observe any changes to a client’s health, wellbeing and behaviour, ready to take action if there is ever a cause for concern.
Dementia care: Living at home means staying in familiar surroundings and maintaining those daily routines that might not be possible in residential care. Home care suits somebody living with dementia, where continuity of life in the home they have grown to love is proven to be beneficial.
Losing a spouse: When a spouse dies, it takes some time to adjust, not just emotionally but practically too. A caregiver can be a much needed companion and fulfil the support role that was recently lost.
Frailty: Getting older for many means not being able to do the simplest of things, even lifting the kettle to make a cup of tea. Live-in care can support someone who is becoming frail to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Unexpected illness and events: Whether it’s a fall or a sudden illness, your loved one could be susceptible to events that may quickly have a need for care. Professional help will relieve the pressure from you and your family.
What comes next?
The first step towards live-in care is arranging a care assessment with us. This is where we learn about your situation and discuss options for you that might best suit your loved one’s needs.
Lizor Care will send one of our qualified care managers to your loved one’s home to have a chat with you, and any other relatives about what you believe you need from our care services.
Chances are, live-in care is a new concept to you. That’s why we want to talk you through the different options available and make the best recommendation for your individual circumstances.
