Live-in Care —Round-the-Clock Support,In the Home You Love.
Moving into a care home is not the only option. GEG Care's live-in care service provides a dedicated, professional carer who lives in your home — offering continuous, personalised support 24 hours a day.
You stay in the familiar surroundings that mean the most. Your routine, your independence, your home.

What Is Live-in Care?
A Dedicated Carer. In Your Home. Around the Clock.
Live-in care means exactly what it sounds like. A fully trained, DBS-checked GEG Care carer moves into your home and becomes a consistent, trusted presence in your daily life — available day and night.
Unlike visiting care, where support is limited to scheduled call windows, live-in care provides genuine continuity. Your carer gets to know you deeply — your preferences, your routines, your needs — and provides support that no care home can replicate.
It is also often more cost-effective than many families expect, particularly when compared to the weekly fees of a residential or nursing home.
Everything Covered
What Live-in Care Includes
Live-in care is fully bespoke. Your carer moves into your home, becomes part of your daily life and supports you across every aspect of your day — from morning personal care to late-night reassurance.
Every element of the package is designed around you. There is no care home timetable to conform to — just the life you want to live, supported by someone who genuinely knows and cares for you.
Our Approach
How We Deliver Live-in Care
Four commitments that underpin every live-in care arrangement we manage — from the very first assessment to the day-to-day running of your care.
Careful Matching
We match each client with a carer who fits their personality, interests and cultural background. A great match transforms the entire live-in care experience.
Fully Managed
Nurse-led oversight, regular coordinator visits and a dedicated contact for every family — 7 days a week, including evenings.
Continuity & Relief Cover
When your regular carer takes a well-earned break, a trusted, fully briefed relief carer steps in — without disrupting the routine.
Transparent Costs
Clear, honest pricing with no hidden fees. We discuss costs openly from the very first conversation — no surprises, ever.
Making the Right Choice
Live-in Care vs a Care Home
Many families are surprised to discover that live-in care compares very favourably with a residential care home — in quality, personalisation and cost.

|---|---|---|
| Location | Stay in your own home | Move to a shared facility |
| Carer ratio | One dedicated carer for you | One carer per several residents |
| Routine | Shaped around your preferences | Fixed institutional schedule |
| Familiarity | Your home, belongings, community | New environment to adjust to |
| Family visits | Unrestricted — any time | Subject to facility rules |
| Pets | Remain at home with you | Typically not permitted |
| Cost | Often comparable or lower | Fixed weekly residential fees |
| Personalisation | Fully bespoke care plan | Standardised across residents |
Is This Right for You?
Who Is Live-in Care For?
Live-in care is suitable for anyone who needs consistent, high-quality support throughout the day and night — and who wants to receive that support in the place that matters most: home.
It is particularly well-suited to adults with complex or advancing care needs where visiting care alone is no longer sufficient — and for families who want the peace of mind that comes with knowing someone trusted is always present.

Getting Started
How We Match You With the Right Carer
Finding the right live-in carer is one of the most important decisions your family will make. Our matching process is thorough, personal and unhurried.
Free Home Assessment
A GEG Care coordinator visits your home, listens carefully to your needs and builds a detailed profile of the ideal carer — skills, personality, interests and cultural fit.
Carer Shortlist
We identify the best-matched carers from our vetted team and present you with a shortlist. You are involved at every stage — this is your home and your choice.
Meet Your Carer
Before care begins, you meet your proposed carer. We want everyone to feel genuinely comfortable before any commitment is made.
Care Begins
Your carer moves in, settles in at their own pace and follows the agreed care plan. Your coordinator checks in regularly to ensure everything is working perfectly.
Caring for Two
Live-in Care for Couples
When both partners need care — or when one partner needs care and the other provides some informal support — live-in care offers a solution that keeps couples together at home.
A live-in carer can support both individuals, even when their needs differ significantly. Care plans are designed for each person individually, while the couple continues to share their home and their life together — as they have always done.
Separating a couple because of care needs is rarely the only option. Talk to us about how live-in care can support you both.

“When Dad's condition deteriorated, we faced the hardest decision our family had ever made. GEG Care's live-in option meant he could stay in the house he has lived in for 40 years. The carer they matched him with has become part of the family. There is no other word for it.”
