Live-in Care in Doncaster
A dedicated carer living in your home, providing support and companionship around the clock. Live-in care lets you stay in the house you love, with your own routines, your own things and your own front door.
What is Live-in Care?
Live-in care means a trained carer moves into your home to support you day and night. They help with personal care, meals, medication, housekeeping and getting out and about, and they are there for company too.
It is one to one care, which is something no care home can offer. Your carer learns your routine, your preferences and the small things that make a day good, then builds the support around them.
A Genuine Alternative to Residential Care
Live-in care at home
- Stay in your own home with your own belongings
- One to one support from a carer who knows you
- Your routine, your meals, your bedtime
- Pets stay with you
- Couples stay together
- Family and friends visit whenever they like
Moving to a care home
- Unfamiliar surroundings and a new routine
- Staff shared across many residents
- Set mealtimes and set schedules
- Pets rarely permitted
- Couples may be separated
- Set visiting arrangements
We founded Britz Healthcare after seeing how quickly people can decline when moved into unfamiliar surroundings. Live-in care exists so that move is not the only option.

The Right Carer Makes All the Difference
Live-in care is a close relationship, so the match matters more here than anywhere else.
We consider personality, interests, experience and practical needs before suggesting a carer. You meet them before care begins, and if the match is not right we will find someone who is. Nobody should share their home with a person they do not feel comfortable with.
Your carer takes regular breaks during the day and time off, so we arrange cover in advance and keep it consistent wherever possible.
Who Live-in Care is For
- People who need support day and night but do not want to leave home
- Couples who wish to stay together rather than move separately
- Someone living with reduced mobility or a long term condition
- People at risk of falls who need someone close by at all times
- Families considering a care home who would rather explore care at home first
- Anyone returning home after a hospital stay who needs intensive support

Common Questions About Live-in Care
Does the carer need their own room?
Live-in care requires suitable accommodation for the carer. We will look at the home together during the free assessment and confirm exactly what is needed.
What happens when the carer takes a break or has time off?
Carers take regular breaks during the day and time off. We arrange cover in advance and keep it as consistent as possible, so there is always support in place.
Can live-in care support a couple?
Yes. We can support couples who wish to remain together in their own home. We will discuss the arrangements that work best during your assessment.
Can we meet the carer before care starts?
Yes. We arrange an introduction before anything is agreed, so you can be confident about who will be living in your home.
How long does a live-in placement last?
Placements can be short term, for example after a hospital stay, or ongoing.
What if the carer is not the right match?
Please tell us and we will find someone who is. Nobody should share their home with a person they do not feel comfortable with.
