Care & Carers
Live-in care means a fully trained carer lives in your home and supports you day to day, so you can stay where you feel most comfortable instead of moving into a care home. Care & Carers provides live-in care across the whole of Buckinghamshire, from our office in Aylesbury.
Why choose our live-in care
No client has ever left us because of poor quality care.
Consistency. A small regular team of carers who alternate, with planned changeovers, so you are not meeting new faces all the time.

Live-in care or a care home?
Live-in care lets you keep your home, your routines, your pets and your neighbours. You get one-to-one support rather than sharing staff with other residents.
Help at night
Your live-in carer sleeps in your home, so someone is always there if you need help in the night. They can get up for occasional help, such as a trip to the toilet. A carer who is woken often cannot care safely the next day, so if you need regular help at night, you may need waking night care, where a carer stays awake all night. We explain how night help works at your care assessment, it is set out in your agreement, and we review it whenever your needs change.
