What Is Live In Care?
Live in care involves creating a plan where a care provider lives with you, in your home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This enables care recipients to continue living in a familiar environment with a consistent routine. Unlike other care solutions, live-in care empowers you to maintain your independence and social connections.
Living in the comfort of your own environment with a familiar routine can be extremely effective in maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing. In addition, this form of support allows you to continue living with independence and dignity for as long as possible, even after help from family and friends isn’t enough to keep you safe and content.
Four Oaks Healthcare builds flexible 24 hour live in care solutions, bespoke to the needs of our clients. These plans integrate broader activities, routines and hobbies based on your interests.
How Does Live In Care Work?
As health deteriorates, medical or personal care may be required to ensure your quality of life doesn’t also decline. A 24 hour live in care provider will reside in a client’s home to ensure that all medical, personal and social needs are met at all times, night or day.
While live in care is often associated with elderly care, this service is available to individuals of any age who could benefit from medical care or assistance. Similarly, this service differs from home-care, where care is provided between predetermined times on selected days.
When the level of support from friends and family increases, a care recipient can often feel isolated, fragile and a burden on their loved ones; often resulting in a relationship breakdown as the lines between companion and carer are blurred. Through 24 hour live in care, companionship, independence and mental strength can be rebuilt, often strengthening those essential personal connections.
Retaining your home environment improves mental health, morale and physical strength which are paramount to a healthy lifestyle.

From the moment I contacted this organisation, the staff have always been polite and incredibly helpful. They have had to step in at short notice when other providers have let us down. They have provided everything we have asked for in a thoroughly efficient and professional manner. All staff have been incredibly caring and thoughtful when approaching my mother’s needs. As a family, we are incredibly grateful for the service provided and I personally have already recommended the organisation to a potential client and a potential employee. We will have no hesitation in using these services again.
