Is it a good idea to have live in care?
The expenses associated with live-in home care are typically similar to those of care homes and sometimes even lower. In care home settings, nursing care can elevate overall costs. Opting for live-in care allows individuals to retain their homes, with fees primarily covering support services rather than accommodation. For those with complex medical needs, live-in care may prove to be a more economical choice compared to domiciliary care
