About Live-in care
Live-in Care provides you or your loved one the opportunity to stay in familiar home surroundings for as long as possible, with the help and support of a full-time CareGiver in the comfort of your own home. Live-in Care allows for one-to-one support, support with personal care and general household tasks, allowing the Client to continue living at home and remain independent.
At Vow Care, we understand that there is never an easy time to be faced with the decision to move out of your home and into an unfamiliar care home setting.
Our Live-in Care service is an extremely viable alternative to a care home, as we offer one-to-one highly personalised, flexible care and support in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of your own home. It is a cost-effective alternative to a residential homecare with the Live-in CareGiver taking up residence in your home for an agreed period.
How does live-in care work?
Live-in Care allows you to continue living in the comfort of your own home with a carer available to assist you with your usual daily routine. Live-in Care can take several forms but in essence, the CareGiver takes up residence in your own home and provides you with care whilst living with you. Live-in Care is a real alternative to moving into a care home, providing you with the care and support you need to remain independent.

Your Plan
When you decide that live-in care is right for you, our job is to find someone who can best meet your needs and that you’ll really enjoy having around.
All Vow care workers are fully trained and have the right personality to look after our customers, but not everyone can be a live-in carer – many have their own families to look after too. So our specialist live-in teams are highly experienced people who can commit dedicated time to you.
Sharing your home is a big step. So we match interests and personalities and let you get to know one another first. After two weeks we carry out a review to make sure it’s working for you.
Matching people takes time. We start by meeting you to learn more about you, your interests, your care needs and preferences. We try hard to match people with similar hobbies and to satisfy your preferences – perhaps you want a male or female care worker depending on your personal care requirements?
Together we agree a care plan that covers your needs and how you wish to be looked after. Together we review your plan to check it still works for you.
We then set up a two-week trial and your new carer moves in. After this trial period, we review the service carefully with you to ensure that it’s working the way you want and agree any necessary adjustments to your care plan.
Your Right to Respect, your privacy, dignity, independence and security are always top of our list. So our carers:
Are welcomed by you and never intrude
Preserve your self-respect
Give you space to be yourself
Keep you safe when you need them to
If at any time you feel it’s not working the way you want, just tell us how you feel so we can help.
