Live-In Care
Live-In Care:
Whether you live across the country or just down the road, it is not always possible to be there for your loved one 24 hours a day. At Memories+ Home Healthcare, we understand that people are happiest and healthiest when they remain in their own familiar surroundings. Home is where comfort, memories, and independence are rooted. For many families, the choice to remain at home is deeply personal, and our role is to make that choice safe, practical, and supportive.
Live-in care is one of the most compassionate and cost-effective options available when daily support is required around the clock. Rather than moving into a long-term care facility or arranging hourly caregivers, a live-in caregiver resides in the client’s home, offering continuous assistance, companionship, and reassurance at all times. While caregivers rest at night when their clients sleep, they are close at hand with the help of a monitor, ready to provide assistance if needed. This arrangement not only ensures continuity and peace of mind, but is generally less than half the cost of 24-hour hourly care
What Live-In Care Provides
Our live-in care services are built around dignity, respect, and personalisation. Every care plan is tailored to the individual, but the foundation of our personal care includes:
- Companionship — Gentle conversation, games, reading, walks, or simply spending time together. Companionship is one of the most vital aspects of overall health, reducing loneliness and boosting emotional well-being.
- Personal care — Support with bathing, grooming, dressing, oral hygiene, and maintaining dignity in daily routines.
- Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — Safe transfers, mobility support, and guidance throughout the day.
- Toileting and incontinence care — Always approached with compassion, respect, and discretion.
- Medication reminders — Helping clients take their prescriptions on time and correctly.
- Meal planning and preparation — Creating balanced meals based on dietary needs, cultural preferences, and personal tastes.
- Light housekeeping and laundry — Maintaining a tidy, comfortable, and safe living environment.
Benefits of Live-In Care
Comfort and Familiarity
Remaining at home allows seniors and individuals with special needs to continue living surrounded by treasured belongings, familiar routines, and family memories. This stability is often linked to improved mental and emotional well-being, especially for those living with memory challenges such as dementia.
Cost-Effectiveness
Live-in care is a more affordable option than 24-hour hourly care. Since caregivers live on-site and follow the rhythm of the household, it reduces costs while still offering round-the-clock support.
Safety and Security
Having someone present at all times dramatically lowers the risks of falls, injuries, and delayed emergency responses. Caregivers also help prevent issues such as medication errors, missed meals, or isolation.
Emotional and Social Support
Loneliness and social isolation are growing challenges for many seniors. A live-in caregiver provides regular companionship, conversation, and encouragement, all of which are proven to improve quality of life and reduce depression.
Flexibility and Personalisation
Unlike institutional care settings that operate on strict schedules, live-in care is flexible and shaped entirely around the individual. From wake-up times to meal preferences and activities, care adapts to the lifestyle of the client rather than the other way around.
Peace of Mind for Families
Families can rest easy knowing their loved one is cared for at all hours. Regular updates from caregivers and case managers provide reassurance and transparency, even for families who live far away.

Our nurse case managers bring together clinical expertise, compassion, and organisational skill. They combine:

- Organizational and critical-thinking skills for complex care situations.
