What a live-in carer does

  • Rota: usually one or two weeks living in, then a second carer takes over.
  • Tasks: washing, dressing, meals, medicines, housework, getting out, company.
  • At home: the person keeps their routine, pets and neighbours.
  • The carer needs: their own room, about two hours off each day and proper sleep at night.

When someone needs help on most nights, one live-in carer is not enough: add another carer, or book waking nights as well. Agencies should flag this during their assessment.

Two kinds of live-in agency

Agencies come in two types. With a managed service, the agency employs the carer or supervises them, holds a Care Quality Commission registration and carries responsibility for the care. With an introductory agency, you are matched with a self-employed carer and take on the job of arranging and overseeing the care yourself; such agencies are not usually registered with CQC. Before signing, find out which type you are dealing with, who steps in for holidays and illness, and what happens if the match does not work.

Live-in care against a care home

Price check for this area: live-in care around £1,540–£1,610 a week, residential care home £1,250 a week. Couples are where live-in care can come out cheaper, with one carer supporting two people instead of two care home places; for one person, the care home often costs less.

Ask two questions. Can one carer meet the person's needs safely? Do they want to stay at home? If both answers are yes, live-in care fits. If moving them takes two people around the clock, or they are lonely at home, look at care homes.

Help paying for it

Leicestershire council must offer a free care needs assessment. If it agrees that live-in care is the right way to meet eligible needs, it can contribute after a financial assessment, and for care at home the value of the home is not counted. You can take the council's contribution as a direct payment and use it with an agency you choose. People with a primary health need may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays in full. Asking Leicestershire council for an assessment.

Live-in care in Rothley: common questions

Which agencies provide live-in care in Rothley?

The CQC register does not show who offers live-in care. There are 225 registered agencies that have an office within 7 miles of Rothley, 108 of them rated Good or Outstanding, so ask each one.

What is the weekly price of live-in care in Rothley?

Live-in care is typically around £1,540–£1,610 a week here (typical 2026 prices across England); short placements, couples and complex needs usually push the price up.

Is live-in care cheaper than a care home?

Usually not for a single person, since a residential home averages £1,250 a week here. A couple, though, may pay less for live-in care than for two care home places.

Can live-in care be council funded?

With savings under £23,250, you may get help. The council must first find eligible needs and agree that live-in care would meet them suitably; Leicestershire council then carries out a financial assessment that ignores the home when care is at home.

What CQC ratings do agencies covering Rothley have?

CQC rates 108 of 129 as Good or Outstanding, or 84%. Recent evidence: 34 rated or inspected in two years. Dementia specialists: 192.
