Who are our live-in carers?
You can be sure that if you work with us, a fully trained carer will be assigned to you. To keep their skills current with industry best practices, they receive ongoing refresher training in addition to in-house expert introduction training.
Your carer is expected to deliver excellent care. They have undergone a thorough investigation, been interviewed, and received an enhanced check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). They’ll always be on time, smile warmly when they meet you, and be polite and accommodating. We only employ individuals who we would trust to look after our own family.

Live-in care funding options
Live-in care in Hertfordshire is more affordable than many people realise with careful planning.
PHBs (Personal Health Budgets) in the NHS
The NHS Continuing Healthcare programme is open to those with ongoing medical issues.
It pays for all of your medical expenses. As a result, you should double-check your eligibility.
Direct Payments from the Council
Many people use local government funding to cover the cost of their live-in care. Your eligibility is based on the conditions you meet and your financial situation. You can regain control of your finances with Direct Payments.
Savings and assets
The majority of families use their savings if they are not qualified for government assistance. You might also use the equity in your house to subsidise your care.
