When Might Respite Care Be Needed?

Respite care can be a lifeline during times of transition or unexpected change. Here are some common scenarios:

Unexpected Situations

If the regular caregiver falls ill or needs to manage a personal emergency.

Trying Out Full-Time Care

A short-term arrangement can help families explore whether live-in care is the right long-term solution.

Post-Hospital Recovery

Support during recovery from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay to ensure a safe and comfortable return home.

Caregiver Holidays or Breaks

When a primary caregiver needs time off to rest, travel, or recharge, without compromising care for their loved one.

Why choose live-in respite care?

Respite care can be a lifeline during times of transition or unexpected change. Here are some common scenarios:

Live-in respite care means a self-employed carer you select moves into your loved one’s home for a set period, providing full-time support.

For elderly people with complex care needs, live-in care often offers greater peace of mind compared to visiting or residential care — thanks to the dedicated attention from one trusted carer.

At No1 Healthcare, we also provide emergency respite care. Our responsive service can connect you with a suitable carer in under 24 hours, offering flexibility around start and end dates to fit your needs.

We make it simple and stress-free to find the right live-in carer for your loved one — and give you full control over how care is delivered and managed.

Care with a Personal Touch

Our platform considers over 25 personality traits and care skills to match you with self-employed carers who truly fit your family’s needs. You can view detailed carer profiles, chat directly, and choose the person who feels right — no pressure, no guesswork. And because care decisions are often shared, we’ve built tools that let the whole family stay involved and make decisions together.

You Make the Decisions

At No1 Healthcare, we believe families should stay in control. That’s why you arrange care directly with your chosen carer — not through a rigid care company. Together, you decide on the routine, the schedule, and the way care is delivered. It’s about keeping things familiar and personal, just the way it should be.

Affordable, Transparent Support

Live-in care doesn’t have to break the bank. With No1 Healthcare, you only pay for the care you need — no upfront costs, no hidden fees. Because we connect you with independent carers, our service is typically 35% more cost-effective than traditional managed care agencies.

Is live-in care the right choice?

Our self-employed carers can support a wide range of needs — from personal care and companionship to help around the home. However, there are certain tasks they aren’t permitted to carry out.
