When to choose live-in care
Live in care is perfect for you if you’re looking for around-the-clock care to support your needs. Our home care in Cornwall team can help with the day-to-day tasks that will make your life easier like general housekeeping, preparing healthy and delicious meals and helping with any errands. We try to adapt our care to benefit you and our condition-led care can offer support with anything from cancer and stroke care to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and more. We know it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ approach to care and we endeavour to understand your needs.
Expert care tailored to your needs
We’re experts at providing high-quality nursing care which can include medication administration, catheter and stoma care and ventilation care. They are trained by registered nurses to help with more medically complex needs. We can help with personal care, including washing, dressing, grooming and continence care, so you can continue living your life comfortably and dignified. We’ll look after your medical needs so you won’t have to worry, and you can spend more time around your loved ones and getting out and about in the sandy Cornwall community.

FAQs
Live-in care means a trained Helping Hands carer lives in your own Cornwall home and supports you around the clock with daily tasks, personal care, medication and companionship. It is a one-to-one alternative to a care home that lets you stay in familiar surroundings.
It suits people in Cornwall who need regular or 24-hour support but want to stay at home, including older people, couples who want to stay together, and people living with dementia, limited mobility or a long-term condition.
Your carer supports personal care, washing and dressing, medication, meal preparation, mobility, housekeeping, getting out and about, and companionship. Care is built around your routine rather than a fixed shift pattern.
Live-in care is charged weekly and depends on the level of support you need. Cornwall live-in care starts from £1,675 per week for one person, or £2,125 per week for a couple. We give a clear written quote after a free care assessment, with no hidden fees.
For one person it is often comparable, and for couples it is frequently better value because two people are supported for close to the cost of one. We will talk you through the figures for your situation in Cornwall.
Yes. Our Cornwall live-in care is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and every carer is trained, vetted and DBS-checked before they start.
Once we have completed your free assessment we can usually arrange care quickly, including urgent and emergency situations. Call our Cornwall team to talk through timings.
