Live-In Home Care

Providing dedicated live-in care that ensures continuous support and comfort in the familiarity of your own home.

Reliable Live-In Care in Edinburgh, Kent and London

For many people, live-in care has become a popular alternative to residential care homes. Live-in care offers one-to-one support in your own personal and private environment. It enables you to stay in your local community, close to family or friends who may live nearby, and enjoy your favourite places to meet, go walking, or visit. Additionally, our Assistant offers a friendly, supportive and encouraging presence. No matter the task, we’re here to help.

Having a Live-In Care Assistant provides your family with peace of mind, knowing that someone is always there to help in the home. Our office team is also on-hand in case of emergencies, backed up by our extended network of Live-In Care Assistants.

How Live-In Care Works

Live-in care means that you have a dedicated Live-In Care Assistant with you, living in your home. You will need to be able to provide the Care Assistant with their own private room that has a bed.

 

Your Live-In Care Assistant will be there to support your care needs day and night, keeping you company and helping you spend each day the way you want to.

 

There will usually be two assistants to support you: your main Live-In Care Assistant and a second person who will cover the main assistant when they are taking their time off.

 

Your main assistant will be with you from 2 to 6 weeks, then will take some time off. This is when the second assistant will cover.

 

The MyLife office team is on hand to support both you and your Live-In Care Assistant, offering guidance if and when needed.

 

Your Live-In Care Assistant will be as closely matched to your interests and personal preferences as possible, which will have been identified with you during your first enquiry about the MyLife live-in service.

Why Choose Live-in Care?

When full-time care is needed, you might think that a residential care home is the only option. However, live-in care offers a wonderful alternative, providing 24/7 support while allowing you to stay in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by the things you love, including your beloved pets.

 

With a Live-In Care Assistant, you enjoy the flexibility that visiting care cannot offer. For example, on a sunny day, you can decide to go out spontaneously without being tied to a fixed schedule. This freedom allows you to live life on your own terms, enjoying each day to the fullest.

Care stories

I have been using MyLife Homecare for about five months to help with care for my elderly parents, both with dementia and have always been impressed with the friendly care given by the lovely carers and also all the staff in the office who have answered my queries promptly and efficiently. My mother, in particular, can be difficult with her dementia, and the carers proved to be so patient and caring with her. I would recommend MyLife to anyone seeking help with any loved one.

C. M. (Daughter of Client / Service User)

Found My Life purely by searching online. My mother was being discharged from hospital and I needed reliable support for her. The business manager was very helpful and saw her in hospital. All the staff have been great really can't fault them. I'd recommend them 100%.

H.R. (Client / Service User)

Excellent communication from management meet and greet. Carer perfect, lovely lady, very caring, knows the needs of the client. Has common sense. Regular communication by letter from providers. Easy to deal with.

M. C. (Client / Service User)

I am very pleased with the service MyLife provides. The staff, including the office staff, are very friendly and cheerful.

H. S. (Wife of Client / Service User)

I was very impressed with the patience and perseverance shown by the care staff who tried repeatedly to gain the trust of my aunt who has dementia. Despite her hostility the staff kept trying to provide support. Excellent support was also provided by management.

G. F. (Niece of Client / Service User)

We needed a care package quickly and were impressed at the speed at which the details were arranged. The carers were punctual, polite and patient. They assisted my husband to recover his confidence and independence. We required the care for a short time only and were more than satisfied with the provider.
