A personal approach

Founded in Weymouth, Dorset, we now provide live-in care across the country, including in Manchester and surrounding areas.

Wherever you live in Manchester, we understand that inviting someone to come and live with you in your home can be a big step. That’s why we are diligent when matching a live-in carer to you.

Our comprehensive assessment and matching process is done by a designated Care Coordinator based in Manchester who will take time putting together a selection of care workers for you to choose from. Each live-in care worker is selected based on your own preferences, hobbies and interests, ensuring you are introduced to your ideal care companion.

Once your care begins, you will receive ongoing support from an assigned point of contact and their professional team. This will include weekly check in calls, regular visits from your Care Coordinator and a 24/7 emergency on-call service.

Fully managed live-in care

What makes our Manchester live-in care service special is that we fully manage it.

When you arrange live-in care with us, you receive a person-centred care plan and risk assessment, as well as support from a dedicated care manager and care supervisor. You also benefit from the additional reassurance and peace of mind of a 24-hour on-call emergency line.

As a managed provider, we employ and pay all of our care workers and so have a duty of care to you. We guarantee their training, supervision and support and, should your care worker fall ill, we are responsible for finding someone to replace them.

What’s more, our live-in care in Manchester is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

By contrast, introductory services or care agencies will put you in contact with a self-employed care worker. Compared to our premium service, they offer fewer guarantees and leave you or a loved one to supervise, manage and organise all aspects of the care received.

Frequently asked questions

Our Manchester live-in care is designed as an alternative to a care home admission and is naturally the next steps for those currently receiving home care but looking for more consistent, full time support. It’s a particularly successful option for people who do not wish to enter residential care or care homes.

With live-in care, a care worker lives with you in your own home to provide one-to-one, consistent support, 24/7. This service is bespoke to you and can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Whether you require personal care, support with household tasks, or help getting out and about, your live-in care worker in Bournemouth will be on hand to support you in living as independently as possible at home. You can expect to receive care and support from a small team of care workers to ensure you have continuity.

Our fully managed care service means that we take care of everything. This includes coordination of your care package, matching a live-in care worker to you, and paying your care worker’s wages. All this is included in a single weekly fee.

Unlike an introductory agency which will simply put you in touch with a self-employed care worker, we employ, train and pay our teams. This means we have a duty of care to you and support you throughout the process. When you enquire, we will help you book your free, no obligation care assessment before putting in place a care plan tailored to your specific needs. We will also match a care worker to you based on your needs and preferences and assign a care coordinator who will oversee your care package.

Should your care worker fall ill or go on holiday, we will find someone to replace them and also provide a 24-hour emergency call line for when you or your care worker need additional support. Fully managed care is also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, giving you a higher level of protection and assurance than an introductory agency.

We’re proud that the CQC has rated all our regional live-in care teams as Good.

The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They inspect and regulate different care services, including live-in care and base their inspection on five key questions: Are they safe? Are they effective? Are they caring? Are they responsive to people’s needs? And are they well-led?

All reports can be found on the CQC website.

Live-in care is the next step up from home (domiciliary) care, providing around the clock support in your own home in Manchester. While home care is charged by the hour, live-in care offers a 24-hour service for a weekly fee. With live-in care, you benefit from 24/7 care and support for as little as £1045 per week. In comparison, home care can be as much as £30 per hour. That’s £300 per week for only two hourly visits five days a week.

Aside from the cost saving benefit, live-in care also provides consistent support. Unlike home care, whereby you may be supported by different care workers per visit, with live-in care you receive consistent care from a live-in care worker matched to you based on your needs and preferences. Depending on your needs we can provide two live-in care workers to care throughout the day and night.

With live-in care, a carer comes to live with you in your home and provides the support you need to continue living independently. Whether that’s personal care, household tasks, support getting out and about or companionship your support is tailored to you.

Live-in care is an affordable alternative to a care home that offers added support from a consistent care worker matched to you based on your needs and preferences.

The cost of our fully managed live-in care in Manchester starts from £695 per week depending on the level of care and number of hours required. In contrast, care home prices start at £930 per week, and do not offer the one to one care and support provided by live-in care at home.

When you enquire into live-in care in Manchester, our team of expert care advisors will get to know your requirements and book your free, no obligation care assessment. This will allow us to give you an exact quote and match a care worker to you and your needs.

The live-in care worker will come and live with you in your own home. You must have a spare bedroom available for them. They will be on hand to provide tailored support that enables you to maintain your normal routine.

Friends and family can continue to visit whenever you want and your live-in carer will assist you to pursue your interests and desires, such as going on trips out and helping you attend events.

With live-in care, you or your loved ones carry on living at home and retain your normal routine where possible thanks to the assistance of your care worker.

Friends and family can continue to visit whenever you want and your live-in carer will assist you to pursue your interests and desires, such as going on trips out and helping you attend events.

Yes, absolutely. Our live-in care team have a range of experience and specialisms, including dementia, palliative care and end-of-life care.

We will match you to a carer who is right for you and your care needs and have a clinical lead who ensures your live-in care worker is fully trained and able to support you.

Our comprehensive assessment and matching process is done by a designated care coordinator who will find the best available care worker for you. They will present you with two or three profiles to consider and select from based on an understanding of your needs and preferences.

Each live-in carer has their own mix of experience, qualifications, background and interests – meaning that, with our help, you can find your ideal care companion.

If you are still living in your home, it cannot be taken into account as an asset when calculating the cost of care.

Therefore, your home remains yours to bequeath or do with as you wish. This is particularly relevant for people with combined assets amounting to more than £23,250 (the point at which clients become responsible for the full cost of their care).

We are proudly not an introductory agency. We employ all our live-in carers, which means that we are wholly responsible for recruiting them and making sure their training is up-to-date.

Even our fantastic care workers need regular holidays. And with Agincare, you don’t need to worry about finding someone else to support you while they’re away, that’s our job.

We are there for you every day that we provide you with live-in care. We are always at the end of a phone, should you need us. Quite simply, introductory agencies won’t give you the level of service, security and reassurance that we will.

The cost of our live-in care depends entirely on the level of care you need with prices starting at just £1045 per week. This is comparable to a care home, where fees usually start at £895 per person but with the added benefit of being able to remain in your own home with one-to-one, consistent support.

Live-in care in Manchester is particularly cost-effective for couples who require support but who would prefer to stay in their own home. For just £1450 per week, you can continue to live with your partner without having to move out or risk being separated into different rooms or wards within a care home.

Another important financial aspect of live-in care is that, unlike with residential care, the local authority will not take the value of your home into account as an asset, because you are still living there.

Live-in care can be paid for through council funding or privately. Based on an assessment of your financial situation and care needs, the local authority will decide whether it is them, or you who is to pay for live-in care. The local authority may also decide that it requires a combination of both options.

The advantage of live-in care is that, because you continue to live in your home, it cannot be taken into account as an asset in the financial assessment.
