Who are our live-in carers?

It takes a lot of courage to welcome a stranger into your house. We recognise that they must be someone your family can rely on. That’s why we go to great measures to ensure that all of our carers meet our high standards.

If you choose us, you can rest assured that you will be assigned a carer who is qualified for the position.

Our live-in carers have a lot of experience in this field. They receive initial expert training as well as ongoing refresher training to keep their skills up to date with industry best practices.

They’ve been thoroughly vetted, interviewed, and the Disclosure and Barring Service has run an enhanced check on them (DBS).

They will always arrive on time, welcome you with a nice grin, and remain courteous and helpful throughout.

We only hire the best personnel that we would trust to look after our own family.
