Families in St Leonards on Sea trust CareNow Live-In to find compassionate, reliable live-in carers without delay. We are an introduction and administrative platform connecting families across St Leonards on Sea and neighbouring areas with experienced, self-employed carers who move into your loved one's home and provide round-the-clock support. If you are looking for a dignified alternative to residential care — one that allows your loved one to stay in their own home with familiar routines — live-in care through our platform is a practical, flexible solution.
Who is live-in care for?
Live-in care is suitable for a wide range of people and circumstances. It is ideal for elderly individuals who want to remain in their own home but need daily assistance with personal care, mobility, meals, and medication. Couples benefit too — a live-in carer can support both partners under one roof, which is often more practical and affordable than two separate care arrangements. Live-in care is also appropriate for people with complex or specialist needs, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, or palliative care, where continuity and familiarity are especially important.
Why families in St Leonards on Sea choose live-in care
- One-to-one care tailored to your loved one's specific needs and daily routine
- Your loved one stays in their own home, surrounded by familiar belongings and memories
- Continuity of care — the same dedicated carer, not a rotation of unfamiliar faces
- Often more cost-effective than residential care, especially for couples
- Flexible arrangements with no long-term contracts or hidden commitments
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
Live-in care through CareNow Live-In starts from £1,295 per week. This covers the carer's fees and our introduction and administrative platform charge. There are no hidden costs, no setup fees, and no long-term contracts — you can adjust or end the arrangement at any time. Many families find live-in care more affordable than a residential care home, particularly when caring for a couple, as both partners can be supported by a single carer for one weekly fee.
