In many cases, live-in care can be arranged within 24 hours, sometimes sooner.

We begin with a conversation to understand your situation and what support is needed. This is followed by a free care assessment in your home so we can create a plan that feels right for you.

We regularly support people returning home from hospital or facing sudden changes in circumstances. From the very first call, we guide you clearly through each step so you feel supported and reassured throughout.

The cost of live-in care depends on the level of support required.

Care involving complex clinical needs or end of life care will reflect the additional expertise involved. Support focused on companionship, personal care and day to day assistance will typically be at a lower weekly rate.

We can usually provide an estimated cost after an initial conversation. A confirmed fee is agreed once we have completed a free care assessment and fully understand your needs.

In some circumstances, funding may be available. We work alongside the NHS and local authorities where appropriate and can help you explore the options open to you.

Our carers are chosen for their experience and, just as importantly, for their compassion and values.

As a CQC regulated provider, all carers complete up to date mandatory training and hold the skills required for their role. We carry out thorough safer recruitment checks, including enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks, as standard.

Before supporting clients independently, every carer completes a structured induction and shadowing period. Ongoing training and supervision ensure standards remain high and care remains safe and consistent.

Continuity is very important in live-in care, and we plan this carefully.

Live-in carers work on a planned rotation basis, meaning you will usually have a small, consistent team who become familiar with you, your home and your routine. The maximum placement period is typically six weeks, in line with best practice.

If cover is ever needed, we have experienced relief carers who can step in. Clear handovers and shared care plans ensure your support remains structured and familiar at all times.

Remaining at home in familiar surroundings can make a real difference for someone living with dementia or other complex conditions. Known routines, faces and environments often provide comfort and reassurance.

Our carers receive specialist training and provide calm, patient and structured support tailored to the individual. We review care regularly and adapt support as needs change, helping you remain safe and supported in your own home for as long as possible.

For many couples, staying together at home is incredibly important. Live-in care allows both individuals to receive the support they need while continuing to share their home and daily life.

Care plans are tailored to each person, whether their needs are similar or different. Our carers provide support respectfully and sensitively, recognising they are entering an established home and partnership.

The Care Quality Commission regulates health and social care services in England, ensuring providers meet required standards of safety and quality.

Choosing a CQC regulated provider gives reassurance that care is inspected, accountable and delivered within a clear framework.

At Kensa Health, we provide fully managed care packages with ongoing oversight and support. With your agreement, we can also liaise with other healthcare professionals on your behalf, helping you navigate the wider system with confidence.
