How is live-in care different from a care home?

Live-in care means your loved one stays in their own home, with a dedicated carer who provides one-to-one support tailored to their needs. Unlike a care home, they keep their routines, their belongings, and their independence. They can stay with their pets, in their community, and close to family. Many families find live-in care more personal, more flexible, and often more affordable — especially for couples.

What happens if my carer is unwell or needs time off?

If your carer needs to take time off for any reason, CareNow Live-In can help arrange a replacement carer to ensure continuity of support. We aim to find a replacement who is familiar with your loved one's needs and routine, minimising any disruption. You will always be informed and involved in any changes.

Can live-in care be arranged urgently in Northwich?

Yes. We understand that many families need care urgently — after a hospital discharge, a fall, or a sudden change in a loved one's condition. CareNow Live-In specialises in fast introductions and can often have a carer in place within 24–48 hours. Call us directly on 0330 179 6313 for urgent requests.

Do I need to provide a room for the carer?

Yes. A live-in carer requires a private room in your loved one's home — a separate bedroom with a bed, storage space, and access to bathroom facilities. The room does not need to be large or specially equipped, but it should be comfortable enough for the carer to rest properly during their time off and overnight.

How much does live-in care cost per week in Northwich?

Weekly rates for live-in care in Northwich start from £1,295 and typically range up to £1,995, depending on the care needs involved. Complex care or specialist support may be priced higher. All pricing through CareNow Live-In is transparent — there are no hidden fees, no setup charges, and no minimum contract period.

We are an introduction and administrative platform connecting families across Cheshire with experienced, self-employed carers who move into your loved one's home and provide round-the-clock support.

Who is live-in care for?

Live-in care through CareNow Live-In is designed for anyone who needs dedicated, round-the-clock support at home.

Families often turn to live-in care when the limitations of hourly home visits become clear — when their loved one needs someone present throughout the day and night for safety, reassurance, and practical support.

How CareNow Live-In works

Step 1: Get in touch — call our care advisory line or submit a request online. We will take time to understand your loved one's needs, daily routine, and what matters most to your family.
Step 2: Meet your carer — we introduce you to a carefully selected, self-employed live-in carer whose experience and personality match your requirements. There is no obligation at this stage.
Step 3: Support starts — your carer moves into your loved one's home and begins providing dedicated, one-to-one care. We remain available for ongoing administrative support throughout the placement.

Costs and flexibility

Costs for live-in care arranged through CareNow Live-In start from £1,295 per week. The exact rate depends on the level of care required and the carer's experience. Our pricing is clear and all-inclusive — there are no surprise charges or lengthy tie-ins. You have full flexibility to adjust the care arrangement week by week, and there is no penalty for changing or ending the service. For couples, live-in care is often significantly more affordable than two places in a residential home.
