✔ A better quality of life and improved wellbeing
✔ Fewer hospital admissions through proactive, attentive care
✔ Fast support, with live-in care arranged quickly
✔ The comfort of staying in a familiar home environment

Live-in care FAQs
To learn more about live-in home care and how Ellea Nursing can support your bespoke care needs, please refer to our live-in care frequently asked questions (FAQs) below.
Live-in care is provided in a person’s home by a nurse or carer who also lives in the house. This arrangement alleviates pressures on the client and their family, providing expert care from skilled nurses and carers in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Unlike 24/7 care, a live-in nurse or carer needs adequate rest periods, typically overnight. This means live-in care is best suited to those who need consistent, high-quality support throughout the day.
Live-in carers provide dedicated support throughout the day in the client’s home. The care they provide may include:
- Assistance with personal care
- Nutrition management
- Medication management
- Support with domestic tasks such as cleaning, shopping and meal preparation
- General companionship and emotional support
No two people have the same care needs, which is why we take a bespoke approach to every live-in care package we provide. We take the time to understand your needs, preferences and clinical requirements, building a personalised care plan around your loved one. The cost of your care reflects this, tailored to you, with complete transparency from the outset.
At Ellea Nursing, we provide live-in care for as long as you need it, whether that’s for a defined period of recovery or on an ongoing, long-term basis. We understand that every situation is different and the duration of care will naturally depend on your loved one’s health, clinical needs and personal circumstances.
Live-in care can support various clinical and medical requirements and provide the perfect care solution for adults, children and the elderly.
Live-in care is suitable for many care needs and conditions, including:
- Dementia and Alzheimer’s care
- Cancer care
- Stroke care and recovery
- End-of-life and palliative care
- Complex care
- Postoperative care
- Respite care
Our private care liaisons will take the time to understand your care requirements and personal circumstances, supporting you to decide on the best care solution. Following this, we will identify the best possible nurses and carers according to your exact requirements, enabling you to receive world-class care designed with your needs in mind.
