Personalised live-in care in the home — Lyriq Healthcare

Your home, your routines, your choices

Live-in care can offer a practical alternative for adults who need significant support but wish to remain at home. Following assessment, an appropriately matched care worker may stay in the person’s home and help with day-to-day needs, while respecting their preferences, cultural background, privacy and independence.

We discuss the level of supervision required, care worker accommodation, breaks, emergency arrangements and any additional staffing needs before agreeing a safe package. Live-in care does not automatically mean a single worker remains awake or provides uninterrupted care 24 hours a day. Waking-night or continuous two-person support requires separate planning.

All proposed services are subject to Lyriq’s assessment, current availability and ability to meet the individual’s needs safely.

Your home, your routines, your choices

What live-in care may include

Personal care

Respectful help with washing, dressing, personal presentation and daily living tasks, where agreed in the care plan.

Meals and routines

Practical assistance with meals, hydration, shopping lists and household routines.

Companionship

Conversation, shared activities and support to stay involved with family and the wider community.

Mobility and wellbeing

Appropriate support with mobility, appointments and escalation of concerns, within staff competence and agreed plans.

Support following illness or hospital discharge

Where suitable, live-in care may help someone settle back into everyday routines after a hospital stay or injury. We can discuss help with meals, mobility around the home, light household tasks, companionship and attending follow-up appointments.

Discharge arrangements should be coordinated with the appropriate professionals. Nursing treatments, wound care and other clinical activities are not implied by this service; any regulated personal care is provided only within the company’s authorised scope and staff competencies.

Frequently asked questions

For individual circumstances and eligibility, our team can talk through your options.

Is live-in care the same as 24-hour waking care?

Not necessarily. Live-in staff require rest and breaks. If continuous supervision or waking-night support is needed, this is assessed and arranged separately.

Can live-in care help after a hospital discharge?

Possibly. We assess the support required and whether the service can safely meet those needs, including any professional discharge recommendations.

Can we arrange a short-term package?

Please ask the team about suitability, availability, intended duration and the necessary assessment.
