Live in elderly care is a form of home care where a professional carer lives in an older person’s home to provide continuous, one-to-one support, tailored to their individual needs.
Live in elderly care covers personal care, daily living tasks, medication support and companionship, enabling individuals to remain independently and safely at home.
At Alcedo Live In Care we focus on enriching the lives, supporting the independence, and preserving the dignity of all the people we support.

Built around the individual
Live in elderly care is fully personalised and built around the individual rather than a fixed schedule. Care plans adapt as needs change, whether support is low level or becomes more complex over time. This flexible approach ensures continuity and enables carers to respond quickly to changing circumstances.
The one-to-one nature of live in elderly care allows strong, trusted relationships to develop between the carer and the individual. This consistency improves communication, supports better outcomes and enhances the overall quality of care.
For individuals and couples
Live in elderly care is well suited to individuals with higher dependency needs or ongoing health conditions. It also supports couples who wish to remain together at home while receiving care, which is not always possible in a care home setting.
For families, live in care provides reassurance and peace of mind. Knowing that a trained, professional carer is always present reduces worry. It also allows families to focus on valuable quality time together.
