How Live-In Care Works
Routes Healthcare

Live-in care that feels right for you

You're probably here because something has changed. Maybe daily tasks feel harder than they used to, or you're concerned about someone you love living alone. These moments of recognising that extra support might help aren't easy, but they're important.


Live-in care with Routes Healthcare means having someone skilled and caring share your home. Someone who learns what matters to you and provides support that fits your life.

What is Live-In Care?

Your home stays your own

This is your space. Your carer works around how you like things done, respecting your routines and preferences.

Support adapts to you

From companionship and light housework to personal care and health management, your support changes as your needs do.

Carers dedicated to you

We match you with carers who are genuinely good company as well as professionally skilled. These are relationships built on mutual respect.

What your day could look like with Live-In Care

Mornings that work for you
Early riser or late starter, your carer adapts to your natural rhythm. This isn't about changing who you are.

Staying active and connected
Your carer helps you maintain the activities and relationships that matter to you. The goal is supporting your independence, not replacing it.

Peaceful evenings
Having someone trustworthy nearby brings comfort, especially during those quieter hours.
