Live-in care offers something unique — constant support, companionship, and peace of mind, all without leaving home.
At Bellus Care & Support, we help families recognise when that transition makes sense and how to approach it with confidence.
Recognising the signs
Live-in care may be right when:
Night-time reassurance is regularly needed
Daily tasks are overwhelming or unsafe alone
Family carers are nearing exhaustion
Hospital visits or falls are becoming frequent
If any of these feel familiar, full-time support can bring relief and security for everyone involved.
Choosing the right fit
Compatibility matters as much as competence.
We match clients with carers whose values, personality, and lifestyle complement their own — ensuring comfort, trust, and stability.

Balancing independence and support
A live-in carer doesn’t take over — they make independence possible.
Clients still make choices, maintain routines, and enjoy privacy while having discreet help when it’s needed.
For families and professionals
We liaise with relatives, GPs, and case managers to ensure a joined-up approach, blending compassion with professionalism.
Professionals can explore collaboration via My Care Direction for Businesses.
Bellus Note
Live-in care is not simply a service; it’s a shared life at home built on respect and continuity.
When delivered thoughtfully, it preserves independence and dignity — the heart of Bellus care.
