Live-In Care
If round the clock support is what you need, but you'd like to stay in the comfort of your own home, live-in care may be the perfect solution.
As the name suggests, live-in care means receiving support from a Personal Support Assistant who lives-in your home with you, to provide tailored and ongoing support.
Why choose live-in care?
Many people thrive when in the comfort of their own home, with familiar surroundings, their pets and their loved belongings.
When a higher level or more frequent support is required, live-in care can be a positive alternative to moving into a residential or care home.
Your live-in Personal Support Assistant’s role will be centred around your individual requirements, routines and care to give you and your loved ones total peace of mind.

Live in Care FAQ
A Hub Personal Support Assistant will move into your home and be available to you 24 hours a day. They will meet all of your care needs from helping with domestic jobs around the house, to personal care and administering medicine. They are there to provide peace of mind and allow you to stay in the comfort of your own home with familiar surroundings and continue to have your independence.
A nurse is someone who would change dressings, check how a wound is healing, administer injections and general health checks, they won’t support you with hobbies, companionship and household tasks like a carer will.
A carer will need their own private space, a bedroom with a suitable bed and furniture that allows them to store their belongings. Giving them their own space allows them time to relax and catch up with their own family during down time.
We hope this will not be the case, it is generally quite rare and that’s because we will spend time with you to ensure we fully understand your requirements and get to know you; by doing this you can select the PA that matches your requirements and personality. Plus, you get the opportunity to meet with the carers before the support begins to help you make your decision.
But if it does happen, you can simply choose to cease the support from them and you can contact the Hub who will be happy to support you to be introduced to a different PA.
