Live-in care means a carer moves into your loved one’s home and supports them 24 hours a day. For families in Brentwood, this is the most direct alternative to residential care — with the comfort of staying at home.

Common questions from Brentwood families
Can the carer drive?
Most of our Brentwood live-in carers drive. We can specify driving requirement at the matching stage if your relative still uses their car or attends regular appointments.
What if we don’t click with the carer?
We re-match within a week, no charge. Our coordinator visits in person to ensure the right fit, and we keep two backup profiles ready.
Do we need a spare bedroom?
Yes — a private room with a bed and lockable storage. Carers also need a meal allowance and 2-hour daily break.
How long does it take to start?
Most Brentwood live-in placements start within 7–10 days. Urgent cases (e.g. hospital discharge from Basildon University Hospital) can start within 48 hours.
