Frequently Asked Questions
No – while these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they refer to different care arrangements.
Live-in care involves one main carer who stays in your home and provides support throughout the day, including help with personal care, meals, household tasks, and companionship. They typically sleep at night and are available during the day and evening. It’s best suited for people who need regular help but do not require constant supervision during the night.
24-hour care is more intensive. It involves two or more carers working in shifts to ensure someone is awake and available at all times, day and night. This is ideal for individuals with advanced or complex needs, such as late-stage dementia, frequent overnight assistance, or those at high risk of falls or medical emergencies.
We can help you decide which care option best fits your situation during an initial consultation.
Yes – we provide expert live-in care for a wide range of health conditions, and all of our carers receive specialist training to ensure they can deliver safe, effective support.
We commonly support clients with:
Dementia – including Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Our carers are trained in managing memory loss, confusion, wandering, and changes in behaviour. We focus on maintaining structure and calm within a familiar environment to reduce distress.
Parkinson’s disease – offering help with mobility, medication, and day-to-day routines while promoting independence as much as possible.
Stroke recovery – supporting rehabilitation through encouragement, exercise, and daily help to regain skills and confidence.
Palliative and end-of-life care – providing dignified, compassionate care at home, so individuals can remain comfortable and supported during this sensitive time.
Mobility issues or physical disabilities – assisting with transfers, equipment use, and safe movement around the home.
Every care plan is built around your unique needs, and we’ll assign a carer with the right training and personality match.
Not at all. Live-in care is suitable for adults of all ages.
While many of our clients are elderly and seeking help with age-related frailty, we also support:
Young adults with physical disabilities
People living with long-term conditions or chronic illness
Individuals recovering from surgery or injury
Clients with learning disabilities or autism
We understand that everyone deserves to live with dignity and independence, no matter their age. That’s why our service is flexible and inclusive – offering tailored care that respects your lifestyle, goals, and routines, whether you’re 25 or 85.
Yes – live-in care is a popular and cost-effective solution for couples who want to stay living together at home.
Rather than both individuals moving into residential care separately, a live-in carer can provide joint support in your shared home. This includes:
Assistance with daily routines, personal care, and medication for each partner
Support to continue shared activities and hobbies
Help with cooking, cleaning, and mobility
Emotional companionship and peace of mind
It’s one all-inclusive service, with one carer supporting both of you – allowing you to enjoy your home and your relationship without disruption. This is not only more personal but also significantly more affordable than paying for two separate places in a care facility.
Matching the right carer to the right person is a key part of what we do at Optimum Care – and we take it seriously.
We don’t just look at clinical or practical needs. We also consider:
Your daily routine and lifestyle
Personality traits and communication style
Hobbies, interests, and preferences
Cultural background and language where relevant
Any emotional or social factors that matter to you
Before assigning a carer, we carry out a full assessment and take the time to understand what makes you feel comfortable. We’ll introduce a carer who fits your needs not just in terms of skill but also in terms of warmth, reliability, and compatibility.
If for any reason you don’t feel the match is right, we’ll work with you to make changes – your comfort and trust come first.
Our pricing is transparent and fair, based entirely on your individual needs.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages or tie you into complex contracts. Instead, we provide:
A clear, personalised quote following your care assessment
No hidden charges, admin fees, or surprise extras
Flexible arrangements, with the option to increase or reduce care as your situation changes
