Live-In Care
At Robin, we understand how important it is to stay in the place you know and love. Live-in care offers round-the-clock support from a dedicated carer who becomes a trusted, familiar presence in your home. It’s a reassuring alternative to residential care — giving you or your loved one the comfort of home, with personalised, one-to-one support every day.
What does Live-In include?
Our live-in care is completely tailored, but typically includes:
Personal care, including help with bathing, dressing, and toileting
Medication management and health monitoring
Mobility support, transfers, and safe movement around the home
Meal preparation, nutrition, and grocery shopping
Companionship, conversation, and emotional support
Light housekeeping, laundry, and home organisation
Support with daily routines and maintaining structure
Help with errands, appointments, and outings
Overnight support and reassurance
Pet care and help around the home
Flexibility to adapt as needs change over time
Our Process
We start with a friendly chat to understand what you’re looking for. Whether you need a little support each week or more regular visits, this is your chance to ask questions and tell us what matters most.
There’s no pressure or commitment—just an open conversation about how we can help.
Get in touch
This is where you personalise things.
We’ll visit you at home to get a real sense of your routine and what’s important to you. That might be feeling confident getting ready in the morning, having someone to share a cup of tea with, or simply knowing someone is checking in regularly.
It’s also a chance for you to meet us and feel comfortable. We take the time to listen, so everything starts with you.
Conversation at home
From that conversation, we create a care plan that’s genuinely yours. It reflects your routines, preferences, and the level of support you want.
You’ll be supported by the same small team of carers, so you’re not meeting someone new each time. That consistency means they really get to know you—what works best for you, and how to support you in a way that feels natural.
Build your care plan
Flexible visits that suit you
Care should fit around your life, not the other way round. Whether you need support once a week, a few times a day, or somewhere in between, visits are arranged to suit you.
Early mornings, evenings, or a simple midday check-in - we’ll work around your routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is live-in care?
Live-in care is a personalised service where a trained carer lives in your home, providing continuous support and companionship. It allows you to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving one-to-one care.
Does the carer stay overnight?
Yes. Your live-in carer is there throughout the day and night. They have agreed rest periods and their own private space, but they are available to provide reassurance and support when needed.
Is live-in care an alternative to a care home?
Yes. Live-in care allows you to stay at home, maintain your routines, and enjoy one-to-one support, rather than moving into a shared residential setting.
What are the benefits of live-in care?
Live-in care offers comfort, continuity, and independence. You remain in your own home, with your belongings, pets, and routines, while receiving consistent, personalised care from someone who truly gets to know you.
Can couples receive live-in care together?
Yes. Live-in care is often ideal for couples, allowing both people to stay together at home while receiving the support they need.
How are carers matched?
We take time to understand personality, preferences, and care needs before carefully matching your loved one with a compatible carer. Building trust and connection is a key part of what we do.
What if needs change over time?
We adapt care as needs evolve. Whether more support is required or routines change, we regularly review care plans to ensure everything continues to feel right.
Is live-in care suitable for complex needs?
Yes. We support a wide range of needs, including dementia, mobility challenges, and long-term health conditions, with carers trained to provide appropriate, specialist support.
