Excellent service manager, goes out of her way, is knowledgeable and understands my son’s needs. The carer is great, and has a good understanding of autism.

We are very happy with the service. My son has been very happy. We have had previous care providers that did not meet our needs the way Optimum Care has.

Review Collected on homecare.co.uk
When my mother was discharged from the hospital initially in December 2022, I chose Optimum as her care provider because they submitted a care plan that closely met the criteria that I had I had specified. From day one, their service has been first class, with the carers being very friendly and sympathetic. When my mother had a further spell in hospital in January 2023, the company kept closely in touch with me regarding her condition, and when she was discharged, again, they ensured that carers were on hand to welcome her home and settle her back in her bed. They have also kept in constant touch with the local NHS Community Nursing Services to ensure that my mother got the treatment and equipment that she required for her medical condition. I would thoroughly recommend Optimum Care to anyone who needs care.

My Nan has been using Optimum care for the past 5 months or so. Having had experience with previous care providers they stand out for their genuine interest in and dedication to care!

The management team play an active role in Nan's care. The carers who visit are polite, punctual, cheerful and eager to help Nan to be comfortable and happy. They've built up a really positive and compassionate relationship with my Nan which makes a huge difference to her. Having the same carers visit means the care given is consistent and reliable.

I feel confident that my Nan is not only receiving a very high standard of care but will continue to do so.

The ladies who work for this company really bring love and care into their work. They go above and beyond for the care user and their families. I cannot recommend this company more - honest, reliable and extremely hard working. They treat the care user like family, giving a personal touch to everything they do. The perfect pairing for caring for my mum.

Mum has had many care companies over the last six years. Optimum Care are absolutely the best. Mum lives on her own and has 4 double-up visits every day. The carers are all lovely, kind, gentle and understand and support her many needs. They are timely, friendly, very professional and know exactly what mum needs. Communication with Mum and us the family is excellent, always readily available to speak to and to advise and support us as Mum's needs develop. Mum is very very happy with the lovely carers and the support she receives from them and if Mum is happy then so are we! Without them, Mum would not be able to live so happily on her own and in her own home. This is an excellent care company and I could not recommend them highly enough. They are first class. Thank you to the fabulous Optimum Care team.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

What’s included?

  • Full-time support from a live-in carer

  • Help with washing, dressing, mobility, meals, medication, and household tasks

  • Emotional support and companionship

  • A care plan tailored to your needs

  • Ongoing supervision from your local care manager

  • Cover arrangements when your main carer takes time off

We’ll always discuss pricing with you in plain terms. You can speak to our friendly team for a no-obligation consultation, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
