This guide has been created by Home Care Companions, the UK’s live-in care specialist, without the price tag.
Home Care Companions is an 11-year old highly selective matching service for highly experienced live-in carers and private clients throughout the UK – yet we are still much cheaper than using a care agency or care home. We don’t send “whoever is available”. We take time to understand your parent as a person, then skilfully match you with a higher calibre, carefully vetted live-in carer (we only accept the top 5% of carers who come to us).
Families often tell us the hardest part of arranging care is simply understanding the options available.
This guide is designed to make that first step much clearer and less stressful.
