What do live-in carers do?

Live-in carers can assist with a wide variety of tasks that enable you to remain in your own home. While most people think of care in terms of personal care, mobility assistance, or medication management, the support offered extends far beyond that:

Meal Preparation

Your carer can prepare nutritious meals, snacks, and drinks according to your schedule.

Emotional Support

All of our carers are chosen for their compassion and kindness, offering emotional support as well as physical assistance.

Running Errands

Your carer can help with tasks like shopping, picking up prescriptions, or handling mail.

Household Chores

Your carer will take care of daily chores, from cleaning, laundry and light gardening.

Ocean Healthcare carers are trained in organising and administering medication.

Persoanal Care

Assistance with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, and continence management, delivered with the utmost respect and discretion.

Mobility Support

Getting Out and About

The cost of live-in care

The cost of live-in care varies depending on your specific needs and location. At Ocean Healthcare, we offer free in-home assessments to determine the best care plan and provide you with a personalised quote. Costs may vary by location, but our rates are designed to offer great value, especially for couples. Live-in care enables you to maintain your independence while staying in the comfort of your own home.

A carer who suits your needs

Choosing to have a carer live with you may seem overwhelming at first, but we make the process easy. We focus on finding the right match, ensuring your carer is someone you feel comfortable with and who understands your preferences, routines, and lifestyle.

You can choose:

  • A caregiver with particular expertise or skills
  • Someone with specialised training to support your needs
  • A caregiver who shares your hobbies and interests
  • A male or female caregiver
  • A caregiver with a valid driver's licence and access to a car
  • A caregiver willing to care for your pets

With the right carer, your daily life can remain the same, or even improve, offering you the support you need, when you need it.

Our promise to you

  • Communication & Accountability

    We work closely with the person for whom care is being provided, their families and any medial professional involved in their care. Clear communication and accountability are key to excellent care you can rely on.

  • Bespoke Care Plan

    Every person we care for has an individual care plan. They are bespoke and tailored to an individual’s medical and clinical needs but also take into consideration any personal, social and well-being need they have. All our carers work to these plans and they are reviewed regularly as a person’s needs change.

  • A Regular Care Team

    You or your loved one will have a regular care team. Our Carers are matched with Service Users person to person by our highly trained recruitment team. Ocean Healthcare believe that both skills and personality play a part in the care and welfare of those we work with. Our retention and continuity of carers is very high. This is due to our bespoke approach matching you or your loved one with the right carer for you.

  • Recruiting and Training of Excellent Carers

    All our carers go through a rigorous interview process to ensure they have the skills, experience and understanding of providing complex care in an individual’s home. We require carers who join us to have at least a year’s formal care experience. All carers complete our induction training programme, which goes above mandatory requirements. In addition they receive bespoke training from our Registered Nurse Team and other healthcare professionals to ensure they can care for people with a specific condition or care need. Our cares then have their competencies signed off before attending a client.

  • Technology to Keep in Touch

    If you are remote to the person who requires care, we have you covered. You will have access to a live feed of care being provided via our care management app. You are able to keep in touch with the daily activities of your loved one. Notes about care, medication and welfare are available at your finger tips to keep you fully informed.
