Looking for live-in care in Cardiff? CareNow Live-In introduces families to experienced, independent carers who provide dedicated support at home. Whether your situation is urgent or you are planning ahead, we can connect you with a carer suited to your loved one's needs — often within 24–48 hours.

Who is live-in care for?
Whether it is an elderly parent living alone, a couple who want to remain together, or someone with advanced care needs, live-in care provides a level of continuity and personalisation that other care options cannot match. In Cardiff, families choose live-in care for loved ones recovering after hospital, those living with dementia or neurological conditions, and individuals who simply need reliable daily support. A dedicated carer living in the home means help is always available — day and night — without the disruption of moving to an unfamiliar environment.
Why families in Cardiff choose live-in care
- Your loved one stays at home with their pets, garden, and community around them
- Consistent, familiar care from one dedicated professional rather than a changing rota
- Practical support that covers everything from cooking and cleaning to personal care
- Families stay involved and informed, with a carer who communicates openly
- Flexible arrangements — adjust or end care as your family's situation changes

Frequently Asked Questions About Live-In Care in Cardiff
- How quickly can live-in care start in Cardiff?
- In many cases, we can introduce you to a suitable carer within 24–48 hours. The speed depends on your specific requirements, but we prioritise urgent requests — including those following hospital discharge, a fall, or a sudden change in health. Call us on 0330 179 6313 to discuss your timeline.
- How much does live-in care cost in Cardiff?
- Live-in care arranged through CareNow Live-In starts from £1,295 per week. The exact cost depends on the level of care required and the carer's experience. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no long-term contracts. For couples, a single carer can often support both partners for one weekly fee — making live-in care more affordable than two residential care placements.
- Is CareNow Live-In a care agency?
- No. CareNow Live-In is an introduction and administrative platform. We introduce families to independent, self-employed carers who provide care in your loved one's home. We do not directly employ carers or provide care services. This model gives families access to experienced carers while keeping costs transparent and flexible.
- What does a live-in carer do?
- A live-in carer moves into your loved one's home and provides dedicated, one-to-one support throughout the day and night. This typically includes help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, light housekeeping, and assistance with mobility. The carer's routine is tailored entirely to your loved one's needs and preferences.
- Can I arrange live-in care for a couple in Cardiff?
- Yes. Live-in care is an excellent option for couples, particularly when one or both partners have care needs. A single carer can support both people under one roof, which is often more practical and significantly more affordable than two separate care arrangements. Many couples in Cardiff choose live-in care to stay together at home.
