The care home alternative that lets life continue

9 out of 10 elderly people would prefer to stay in their own home. Live-in care makes that possible—with dedicated support that adapts to their needs.

Familiar surroundings

Stay in the home they know, with their possessions, their pet, their memories.

One-to-one attention

A single carer focused entirely on one person—not shared between many.

Real companionship

More than just care—someone to share meals with, talk to, and spend time with.

Proven better outcomes

Research shows fewer falls, less anxiety, and better quality of life with home care.

Common questions from families

How much does live-in care cost?

Live-in care starts from £995 per week for standard care needs. More complex care (dementia, high physical needs) typically costs £1,100-£1,300 per week. We'll give you a clear quote based on your specific situation.

How quickly can care start?

We can often arrange care within 24-48 hours for urgent situations. For planned care, we typically have carers matched and ready within a week.

Can I meet the carer first?

Absolutely. You'll receive carer profiles with introduction videos, and we encourage video calls or in-person meetings before care begins. You choose your carer.

What if we don't get on with the carer?

It happens sometimes. We'll work with you to find a better match quickly. There's no penalty for requesting a change if the fit isn't right.

Is CareOptus a care agency?

We're an introductory service, not a care agency. We connect you with verified self-employed carers and provide ongoing support, but the care agreement is between you and the carer.

Can funding help with costs?

Possibly. Many families use local authority funding or Attendance Allowance to help with care costs. We can point you to resources to explore your options.
