Helping a relative who refuses assistance can be a challenging
Live-in care means a trained carer moves into your home and supports you day to day, so you can keep living where you are comfortable instead of moving into a care home. Ready Care is a CQC-registered home care agency based at Burton Joyce, and we arrange live-in care for older adults and people with long-term conditions across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Your carer helps with personal care, medication prompts, meals, housework and getting out and about, and is there for company and reassurance through the day. You keep your own routine, your own front door and, often, your pets.
Families tell us the biggest relief is knowing someone is always there.

Every live-in care package is built around the person. These are the things our live-in carers help with most often.
Help with washing, dressing, continence care and moving around the home safely, given with dignity and at your pace.
Your carer prompts or assists with medication as set out in your care plan and keeps a daily record that family can see.
Your carer plans and cooks meals you enjoy, keeps the house clean and tidy, does the laundry and the food shop, and handles the small jobs that become hard to manage alone.
A walk, a trip to the shops or a visit to friends or church. Live-in care keeps people connected to their community, which matters as much as the practical help.
We support people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, after a stroke and at the end of life, with carers matched to the person’s needs.
Couples can share one live-in carer: see live-in care for couples.
We are a local Nottingham agency, so you deal with the same small team from your first call onwards.

Families who use Ready Care rate us 9.9 out of 10 on homecare.co.uk, and we were named in the homecare.co.uk 2025 Top 20 Home Care Awards for Nottingham.
Before care starts we visit, meet you and your family, and write a care plan together. We review it as your needs change, and you can call us seven days a week.
A live-in carer lives in your home, sleeps there and takes daily breaks, which suits most people who need someone on hand. If you need someone awake and working through the night as well, we arrange 24-hour care with carers on rotating shifts.
