The Alternative to Care Home. Keep Your Parents Happy, Safe and Independent at Home.
Our Live-In home care services are a real and cost-effective alternative to residential care. All our services are tailored to meet your individual needs by providing you with compassionate and trustworthy care in the comfort of your own home.
Because there is no place like home.
Home is where the memories live. It is the familiar armchair, the view from the kitchen window, and the comfort of decades-old routines. Our Live-In care services are designed so your loved one never has to say goodbye to the place they love. Instead of moving into a multi occupied facility, a professionally trained, compassionate Caregiver moves into their home to provide dedicated, round-the-clock support.
Our Three Pillars of Outstanding Live-In Care
The perfect personality match
A live-in Caregiver shares your loved one’s home, which is why we look far beyond just medical needs. We carefully match our Caregivers based on personality, shared hobbies, lifestyle and outlook on life. Whether your Parent loves pottering in the garden, discussing local history, or simply enjoying quiet, gentle companionship over a cup of tea, we find the perfect fit. Sometimes they will want a little solitude and that is fine too.
Bespoke, tailored Care Plans
No two people are the same. Our Managing Director, Emilie, personally oversees the creation of a tailored Care Plan that evolves over time as your Parents needs change. From specialist dementia care and mobility support to cooking wholesome meals and light housekeeping, our Caregiver mindfully looks after every little detail.
Complete peace of mind for you
We take care of everything—from strict background checks and rigorous training to managing holiday cover and all employment essentials. Through our digital family portal, you can view real-time daily care updates right from your phone. This allows you to step back from managing their care and simply focus on being a son or daughter again.
Live-In Care vs. Care Homes: The Reality
Many families assume 24-hour care at home is unaffordable, but when compared to modern residential care facilities, it can be quite competitive especially considering the Estate Protection element quite apart from the benefit of the Parent(s) staying in the home they love:
For Couples: Live-in care is almost always significantly more cost-effective than paying for two separate beds in a care home, a live-in carer looks after both of them under their own roof—meaning they can stay together in the home they built, side by side.
Estate Protection: One of the greatest comforts of live-in care is that it protects the family home. Because your loved one remains in their own property, there is no immediate pressure to sell the family home to fund their care. It allows the house to remain in the family, filled with the memories you all treasure.
One-on-One Attention: In a care home, staff split their time between a number of residents. Schedules are rigid, routines are often rushed, and personal preferences can easily get lost in the crowd. With us, we believe your loved one deserves better than being just another room number, your parent(s) receives 100% dedicated, one-on-one attention.
Cotswold Community Caregivers are trained to possess a highly specific blend of professional competence, deep emotional intelligence, and respect for personal boundaries.
These specialised people blend high-quality physical care with a supportive presence that preserves the client's dignity, independence, and comfort in their own home.
"Abi was a live-in Carer from 2 weeks for my Mum who has Alzheimer’s and needs constant care and companionship. It was sorted out by Cotswold Community Care really quickly and Abi was well briefed when she arrived with my Mum. Abi was diligent, attentive and helpful. She quickly understood what my Mum needed to help her stay happy and grounded. She was very friendly and smiley which was great reassurance to Mum in an uncertain period when her husband was away in hospital. I would thoroughly recommend Abi as a live-in Carer." - Trudie L, Shipston on Stour
