A Bed Blocking Crisis
With a Clear Solution
One in seven beds is blocked, with delays caused by waiting lists for home care or care home placements. Yet live-in care offers a clear and proven alternative, but too often left out of discharge planning. Noble Live-In Care is calling for change. Live-in care is not a luxury. It is an essential solution being left out of the conversation.

Left in the Dark: Why Families
Miss Out on Live-In Care
Although 97% of people say they want to stay at home as they age, only a fraction receive information on live-in support. The problem isn’t demand or cost. It’s a lack of awareness at crucial moments, especially during hospital discharge.
With most older adults living in homes that can support live-in care, families deserve to know all the options before they decide.

There are gaps in awareness, time pressures, and sometimes a default to care home placements. Noble is working to change this by raising awareness and encouraging professionals to include live-in care in every care conversation.
