✓ Agency carers visiting the home
✓ Live-in care with a carefully matched companion
You'll discover:

• The pros and cons families often don’t hear about
• The hidden differences between agency care and live-in care
• The key questions families should ask before deciding
Our aim is simple: to help families make a calmer, more confident decision about care.

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.
