Live-In Care: Helping You Stay Comfortable and Independent at Home 24/7
Find trusted live-in care services for your loved ones. MakCareConnect connects you with experienced carers who provide 24/7 support and companionship.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care is a popular alternative to residential care for people who want to remain in their own homes but need help with daily tasks and personal care. A live-in carer provides 24/7 support and companionship, tailored to the individual needs of each person.
Carer Moves into Spare Bedroom
Unlike hourly care, or overnight care, with live-in care, your carer will stay in a spare room, so that they can help at night a few times if needed.
They Help with Cooking, Cleaning, Personal Care & Companionship
Live-in carers can cook, clean, provide personal care, and hygeine assistance. They can also provide companionship and help you with social activities.
And Help You Get Out and About
Live-in carers can help you get out and about, whether that’s to the shops, to appointments, or to social events. They can also help you with exercise and mobility.
You Carer Can Help Overnight
Live-in carers are available to help you at night, but they are not expected to be awake all night. They are there to help you if you need it. If you need all-night care, then an overnight carer can provide relief to a live-in carer.
And Two or More Carers Work On a Schedule
Live-in carers often work in pairs, with one carer working for several weeks and then another carer taking over. This ensures that you have a consistent level of care and that your carer is well-rested.

How to arrange live in care
Frequently Asked Question
Have questions? We’re here to help.
MakCareConnect offers several advantages over working for a traditional care agency. As a carer, you can set your own rates and work with the clients of your choice, which often results in higher pay. Additionally, you have more control over your work schedule and can manage it to fit your lifestyle. MakCareConnect also provides support and resources to help you deliver quality care, making it an excellent option for those looking for greater flexibility and independence in their work.
As a MakCareConnect, it’s important to understand that you could be held, at least partially, liable for any harm that occurs as a result of you not being there when you said you would. It is important to understand that you have a responsibility to your clients and there are consequences, both financially and legally, if you do not meet those responsibilities. This is not like being with an agency where you can simply phone it in when you don’t feel like working that day. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a valid and supported reason for your absence. If you are unable to attend your client, you should make every effort to do so. If you are still unable to attend, notify the responsible and capable person overseeing the care (usually the one who booked you, such as a daughter, son, mother, father, or neighbour) as soon as possible.
You should then make alternative arrangements to cover your absence and inform MakCareConnect so that we can find a carer to cover for you. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, such as illness, and we are here to help you navigate through such situations. Just be sure to keep all parties informed, and we will do our best to provide support and assistance
