Frequently Asked Questions About Live-In Care

We know that arranging care can feel overwhelming. These FAQs are here to give you straightforward answers and help you explore whether live-in care is right for you or your family.

1. What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a care professional moves into the home to provide round-the-clock, one-to-one support. It allows people to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving help with personal care, medication, daily tasks and companionship.

Around 10,000 people currently receive live-in care in England, compared to over 400,000 living in residential care homes. This shows how often live-in care is overlooked as an option.

Yes. A national survey found that 97% of people would prefer to receive care at home rather than move into a residential care home. Most people want to stay in the place they know and love, with support that fits around their life.

Absolutely. Live-in care can often be arranged quickly, making it a powerful option for safe and timely hospital discharges. It helps free up hospital beds and gets people home faster.

No. Many people are eligible for funding. Options include:

  • Local Authority funding for those with assessed needs
  • Direct Payments for more choice and control
  • NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) for those with significant health needs

Live-in care should be explored just like any other option.

Yes. Most older adults in England live in homes with at least two bedrooms, making live-in care a practical option for many households.

Live-in care offers more independence, privacy and continuity. It provides one-to-one, personalised support in the home. Residential care homes may suit some, but it is often more institutional and less flexible.

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.

Live-in care lets people stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar routines and memories, rather than moving into a residential care home. It offers flexibility, with support shaped entirely around the individual, adapting as their needs change. It also brings companionship and protects independence, giving families peace of mind that their loved one is safe, settled and well cared for.
