How we can help your family
CHS Healthcare provides a guidance service, helping families to find the right care at the right time.
We start by taking the time to understand your situation, including any care needs, routines, preferences and concerns. Using this information, we build a tailored shortlist of suitable live‑in care providers, focusing on quality, fit and availability.
We support you through every step of the journey, including arranging assessments, helping you understand quotes and coordinating next steps. Our guidance is independent and free to families, with care arranged and paid for directly with the chosen provider.
We’ll source elderly live-in care for every situation
Live-in care can support a wide range of situations, particularly where ongoing, personalised care is needed at home. It is commonly arranged for people who:
- Are living with dementia, where familiarity and routine are important
- Need companionship to reduce isolation and maintain wellbeing
- Have reduced mobility or are at risk of falls
- Require support with medication management, particularly where routines are complex
- Are living with a long-term condition such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis or the effects of a stroke
- Are recovering at home following a hospital discharge
- Need palliative or end-of-life care, with a focus on comfort and dignity
Support typically includes:
- Personal care and help with daily routines
- Household tasks such as cooking, cleaning and shopping
- Medication prompts and health monitoring
- Consistent emotional support from a familiar, trusted presence at home

Live-in elderly care: costs and fees
Live‑in elderly care is arranged and paid for directly with the care provider you choose. CHS provides guidance at no cost, helping you understand and compare your options.
Costs typically range from £900 to £1,500 per week, depending on the level of support required. Higher costs are usually linked to more complex care needs, increased night‑time support or specific medical requirements.
Most live‑in care arrangements include accommodation for the carer, daily support with personal care and routines as well as assistance with household tasks. Additional requirements, such as specialist care or enhanced support, may affect overall pricing.
Some individuals may be eligible for funding support, such as Attendance Allowance or NHS Continuing Healthcare, depending on their needs and circumstances. We help families understand how funding works and compare provider quotes clearly before making a decision.
