“Glowing Care looked after my very elderly mum after frequent falls and hospital stays proved that she needed help with every day tasks and personal care. All the carers were kind, efficient, reliable, honest and competent. They often went above and beyond their brief and regularly stayed past their allotted time. Although all the carers were very good, there were a couple, with whom mum had a very strong connection/rapport. If visits needed to be amended owing to appointments or family matters. GC were very flexible and this was very helpful. Obviously, they made sure that mum was bathed, fed and hydrated but, just as importantly, they chatted to her and brought a kind and cheerful presence into her home when I couldn't be there, giving me great peace of mind. They also kept detailed notes so that I could see what had been done in my absence. I would recommend them without hesitation.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up, funding, and living with professional live-in care.
What accommodation does a live-in carer require?
A live-in carer requires their own private, clean bedroom with a comfortable bed, storage for clothes and personal belongings, and access to a bathroom and kitchen. Having internet or Wi-Fi access is also appreciated so they can communicate with their care manager and stay in touch with their own families during their downtime.
How quickly can live-in care be arranged in an emergency?
In urgent situations, such as unexpected hospital discharge or sudden family carer illness, we can frequently arrange an assessment and introduce a qualified live-in carer within 24 to 48 hours. For planned support, families often contact us two to four weeks in advance to allow plenty of time for in-depth carer matching.
What happens when the regular live-in carer takes time off?
Carers typically work comfortable rotas, commonly two to four weeks on, followed by two weeks off. We pair each client with a primary team of two dedicated carers who rotate seamlessly. This ensures you always know your carers, continuity is preserved, and you never have unfamiliar agency workers filling in.
How does live-in care compare in price to a residential care home?
For an individual, live-in care costs are comparable to good quality UK residential care homes, starting from approximately £1,200 per week. However, for couples who would otherwise have to pay two separate care home fees, live-in care represents substantial financial savings, often saving thousands of pounds every year while keeping both partners together.
