A dedicated carer, living with you at home
Live-in care from Afya Care means a dedicated carer lives with you in your own home, so you can stay in familiar surroundings — a flexible alternative to residential care, across three service levels.
Care that matches exactly what you need
Our carers offer three levels of service, so support can grow and adapt as your needs change.
Companionship & housekeeping
Friendly company and help around the home — keeping daily life running smoothly and sociable.
Personal care
Discreet, respectful support with washing, dressing and daily routines.
Specialised personal care
More intensive support tailored to complex or changing needs.
A flexible alternative to residential care
A live-in carer lives with you in your own home, allowing you to remain in familiar surroundings with reassurance day and night. It's a flexible alternative to residential care that offers real control and independence.
- Support for those who need help throughout the day and reassurance at night
- Short-term residential-style care so family members can have respite
- Breathing space when assessing care-home options or supporting discharge from hospital
- Covering a permanent carer's holiday
Good to know
- Living arrangements
- A live-in carer normally requires a separate bedroom and is entitled to two hours off in every 24-hour period.
- Working pattern
- Carers typically work between five and seven days per week.
- Cost
- Costs depend on the type of care required. As the client provides accommodation and food, live-in carers often charge a lower daily or hourly rate.
- Control & independence
- Live-in care offers greater control and independence while you stay in your own home.
