Here’s what our clients say about Unicare Live-in Care
Call us on 0208 239 6877 or request a call back
Unicare has been providing high quality live-in care to clients across the country. Our care is focused on keeping people safely and happily in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, whilst improving their overall health and wellbeing.
Unicare offers live-in care services that begin with a thorough assessment and the creation of a personalised care plan. The care plan is continuously monitored and adjusted as needed to meet the changing needs of the client. Where required our nurses provide hands-on care alongside carers and maintain open communication with the family. They also offer guidance and support to promote safety and well-being. Collaboration with other care providers ensures a coordinated approach to achieving the client’s goals.
According to a survey conducted by the Live-in care hub, 97% of us given the choice would prefer to carry on living at home. However, when families are faced with the realisation that their loved one or family member needs increasing levels of care and support, many still feel the only option is to move into a care or nursing home. Whilst there are many good care homes, live- in care is fast becoming the preferred choice for those who wish to continue to live in their own home, whilst receiving the care and support they need to have a better quality of life.
There are many other compelling benefits of receiving care in your much-loved home as opposed to enduring the upheaval and disruption that comes from moving into a care home. Highly personalised one-to-one care just cannot be provided in a care home and the way you choose to live your life will be restricted by imposed routines – when to get up, eat your food and when to socialise. For couples live-in care means you can stay together as a loving couple with the care and support you need something that is not guaranteed if both of you move into a residential care home.
Live-in care for couples is a very cost-effective option when compared to needing two packages of care in a care home – with live-in care there is only a nominal additional fee to provide care to a couple.
This can include the task-orientated aspects of caring for someone, like bathing and getting dressed, but also those that promote self-esteem, like having your nails maintained, or your hair styled.

Our carers will provide companionship whilst ensuring your privacy is respected. We ensure that a perfectly matched carer shares similar values and interests to make life interesting, stimulating and enjoyable, whilst being there for you to support your emotional and psychological needs.
Your carer will ensure you can invite friends over for socialisation and celebrations, providing the support you need to enjoy yourself and not worry about organising anything.
Our professional carers are trained in medications management and use an electronic medications system to ensure all medications are managed proactively and effectively. They will also collect prescriptions from the pharmacy.
Our carers know how important it is to ensure you can continue to do as much you wish and that you remain connected to your local community – whether that is a stroll round the local park or attending clubs or groups in the local area or visiting friends or those shops you always have.
Our in-house Moving & Handling Specialist, Stella Camara, provides expert guidance on equipment and simple home adaptations that enhance mobility and reduce the risk of falls, ensuring you can move safely and confidently in your own home.
We provide support with essential household tasks to help you maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable living environment. Our team can assist with regular cleaning, vacuuming, and general tidying, ensuring your home remains organised and welcoming.
We provide nurse-led care, which means your live-in carer is trained to monitor and identify any changes in your health, responding appropriately to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions. Uniquely, our care teams are supported by our in-house Specialist Clinical Lead, Dorothy Boateng. In addition to overseeing care delivery, Dorothy provides essential guidance and reassurance to both clients and families. As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality home care.
We recognise the important role pets play in family life and overall well-being. Our carers are happy to support with pet care, from feeding routines and companionship to ensuring dogs receive their regular walks. This service not only helps maintain the health and happiness of your pet but also provides peace of mind to clients who may find certain tasks challenging. By supporting both you and your pet, we help create a stable, caring, and comfortable home environment where everyone feels looked after.
Once you have understood what live-in carer’s do and how live-in care works, and that live-in care is the right choice for you and your family, you will need to do some research into choosing a live-in care provider. You will also need to decide whether you use an introduction agency, whereby a carer is introduced to you but you employ and manage them directly, or you use a fully managed service provider who is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure the highest standards of care are provided. The UKHCA (the United Kingdom’s Home Care Association) is a membership body of care at home providers, and is a good place to get information on high quality care at home providers you could consider when making your decision.
