Live-in Care in Ely
The home-care alternative to a residential care home
When a parent or partner needs round-the-clock support but doesn’t want to leave their home, live-in care is the answer. Oath Healthcare has been placing carefully matched live-in carers across Ely since the Cambridge branch opened.

Common questions from Ely families
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.
Do you cover holidays and emergencies?
Yes. Each long-term placement has a named relief carer who covers the primary carer’s 2-week breaks every 6–8 weeks. Our 24/7 on-call team handles anything urgent.
How long does it take to start?
Most Ely live-in placements start within 7–10 days. Urgent cases (e.g. hospital discharge from Princess of Wales Hospital) can start within 48 hours.
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.
