Types of Live-in Care

Live-in care offers a reassuring alternative to residential care, allowing individuals to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving one-to-one support from a dedicated carer. Whether it’s help with daily routines, specialist care, or simply companionship, live-in care is tailored entirely to the person—not the other way around.

Why families choose live-in care:

  • Stay at home in familiar surroundings, close to loved ones and routines
  • One-to-one support that’s fully personalised and flexible
  • Emotional wellbeing through companionship and continuity
  • Peace of mind for families, knowing someone is always there
  • Cost-effective for couples, often more affordable than two care home placement

Dementia Care

Living with dementia can bring daily challenges—but with the right support, it’s possible to maintain comfort, dignity, and connection. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce experienced carers who understand the importance of routine, patience, and meaningful companionship.
There are currently over 1 million people living with dementia in the UK, and that number is growing. Around 540,000 people in England are caring for someone with dementia, often without formal support. We’re here to change that—by helping families find trusted, compassionate carers who truly understand the journey.
 

What our dementia care support includes:

  • Help with daily routines and personal care
  • Medication reminders and gentle health monitoring
  • Support with meals, hydration, and nutrition
  • Activities to stimulate memory and wellbeing
  • A calm, consistent presence to reduce confusion and anxiety
  • Carers matched for empathy, experience, and compatibility

     

Respite Care 

Across the UK, nearly 5 million people provide unpaid care for family members. While caregiving is a profound act of love, it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. That’s why taking time to rest isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce skilled, compassionate carers who can step in temporarily, giving family carers the chance to recharge while ensuring their loved one continues to receive attentive, personalised support at home.

What our respite care support includes:

  • Short-term live-in or visiting care tailored to your schedule
  • Help with personal care, meals, medication, and companionship
  • Specialist support for dementia, mobility needs, or post-surgery recovery
  • Peace of mind knowing your loved one is in safe, capable hands

     

Couples Care

For many couples, the idea of being separated in later life due to care needs is unthinkable. At Sunrise Homecare, we believe that growing older shouldn’t mean growing apart. That’s why we introduce experienced live-in carers who can support both partners—so you can continue sharing life’s moments, side by side, in the comfort of your own home.

The average cost of a care home in the UK is now over £1,260 per person per week, with nursing care often exceeding £1,600. For couples, that can mean paying over £2,600 per week—and living in separate rooms or even different facilities.
In contrast, live-in Couples Care through Sunrise Homecare can be significantly more affordable, with one carer supporting both partners—often at a lower combined cost than two separate care home placements.

Why choose Couples Care at home?

  • One carer supports both individuals, offering tailored assistance with daily routines, personal care, and companionship.
  • Care is personalised to your lifestyle, preferences, and pace—no rigid schedules or unfamiliar environments.
  • You remain in your own home, surrounded by memories, routines, and each other.
     

 

End of Life Care

When someone is nearing the end of life, being at home—surrounded by familiar faces and cherished memories—can bring deep comfort. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce experienced carers who offer calm, compassionate support during this profoundly personal time.
Our aim is to help individuals remain in the place they know and love, with care that eases discomfort, honours their wishes, and supports the whole family.

We carefully match each family with carers who are not only trained in palliative support, but who bring empathy, patience, and a deep respect for this stage of life.

What our end of life care support includes:

  • Assistance with personal care, comfort, and symptom management
  • Emotional and spiritual support for both the individual and their family
  • Help with meals, medication reminders, and daily routines
  • A calm, consistent presence to reduce anxiety and bring reassurance
  • Coordination with healthcare professionals and palliative teams when needed


 

Stroke Care

Recovering from a stroke is a journey that takes time, patience, and the right kind of support. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce experienced carers who understand the physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges that can follow a stroke—and who are committed to helping individuals regain independence in the comfort of their own home.
 

With over 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK, many families are navigating life after stroke every day. Our role is to help make that journey smoother, safer, and more empowering.

Our Stroke Care support include:

  • Help with mobility, personal care, and daily routines
  • Support with speech, memory, and communication difficulties
  • Medication reminders and assistance with meals and hydration
  • Encouragement with rehabilitation exercises and routines

Multiple Sclerosis

Living with MS means navigating a condition that can change from day to day. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce experienced carers who understand the complexities of MS and provide support that adapts to your needs—whether you're managing fatigue, mobility challenges, or simply need a steady, reassuring presence.
 

There are over 130,000 people living with MS in the UK, and no two experiences are the same. That’s why our approach is always personal, responsive, and built around you.


Our MS care support may include:

  • Help with mobility, transfers, and personal care
  • Medication reminders and health monitoring
  • Support with fatigue management and daily routines
  • Nutritional support and meal preparation

Home from Hospital

Leaving hospital is a big step, and the days that follow can feel uncertain. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce experienced carers who provide gentle, practical support to help individuals settle back in safely and recover with confidence—right where they feel most at ease.

With over 400,000 hospital discharges each week in England, many families face the challenge of arranging care at short notice. Our service is designed to ease that transition, offering flexible, personalised support that bridges the gap between hospital and home.

Our home-from-hospital support may include:

  • Help with personal care, mobility, and daily routines
  • Medication reminders and light health monitoring
  • Meal preparation and hydration support
  • Emotional reassurance and companionship
  • Liaison with healthcare professionals and follow-up appointments
  • Short-term or longer-term care options, tailored to your needs

Companionship

Loneliness can affect anyone—especially as we grow older or face changes in health and mobility. At Sunrise Homecare, we introduce friendly, reliable carers who offer more than just help—they offer genuine connection.

Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, enjoying a walk, or simply having a chat, our companionship care is designed to lift spirits, ease isolation, and bring joy to everyday life.

Our companionship support may include:

  • Friendly conversation and emotional support
  • Accompanying to appointments, shops, or social outings
  • Support with hobbies, games, or light activities
  • Help with light household tasks or meal preparation
  • Encouragement to stay active and engaged in the community


Studies show that regular social interaction can reduce the risk of depression, improve memory, and even boost physical health. With over 1.4 million older people in the UK reporting feelings of loneliness, companionship care can make a life-changing difference
