For many families, the choice seems to be a care home or nothing. Live-in care is the third option: a dedicated carer living in the home, one-to-one support around the clock, familiar routines preserved — and, uniquely with us, a doctor-led clinical team reviewing regularly on top.
Is this right for me?
A relative is considering residential care but wants to stay home
Someone needs one-to-one support around the clock
You want familiar routines preserved at home
You want live-in care backed by a clinical team
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.

After your visit
Care is reviewed regularly and can scale up as needs change. Our clinical team provides oversight on top of the live-in carer, and — with consent — your NHS GP is kept informed.
We provide this service across Lurgan, Craigavon and surrounding areas. Some surrounding locations may be available depending on the service, travel requirements and clinician availability.
Not sure if we cover your area? Call 028 9621 1981 with your postcode and our team will check — or see Areas we cover.
Booking for someone else?
Yes — a family member, carer or authorised representative can contact us to arrange this for a patient, provided the patient consents. Many of our bookings are made by a son or daughter for a parent.
Frequently asked questions
What does live-in care cost?
It depends on the level of support needed. Because it's a significant decision, we'll talk it through fully and give you a clear, itemised quote.
Is the carer awake all night?
A live-in carer normally sleeps at night but is on hand if needed. If active night-time support is required, we can add waking night or overnight care.
What happens when the carer needs time off?
We arrange cover so support continues without a gap.
Who chooses the carer?
We match a carer to the person and their needs, and involve you and your family in the choice.
Can couples receive live-in care?
Yes — live-in care can support couples in their own home.
What happens if needs increase?
Support scales up, and our clinical team can add nursing or GP input as needed.
Is nursing care included?
Live-in care is personal, one-to-one support; nursing and GP visits are arranged alongside it through our clinical team.
