Live-in Care for Couples in Birmingham

After a lifetime together, the thought of being split between two care homes - or one partner moving while the other stays behind - is heartbreaking. Live-in care for couples keeps you together, in your own home, with one carer supporting you both.

Often one partner needs more help than the other. Your carer can provide personal care for one while giving the other company, practical help and a well-earned break from caring.

Is it right for you?

  • Couples where one or both partners need day-to-day support
  • A partner who has been the main carer and is struggling
  • Couples who want to avoid separate care home places

How your carer helps

  • Support tailored to each partner's needs
  • Meals, housework and household routines for both
  • Personal care and medication prompts as needed
  • Company and outings together
  • Individual reviews of each partner's needs

The cost compared with care homes

Two care home places in Birmingham can easily cost £2,500-£3,000 a week or more combined. Live-in care for a couple is usually only a modest increase on care for one person, which can make it significantly better value - as well as keeping you together.

If both partners have high needs, for example both needing help to move, we may recommend two carers. We'll always explain why and what it costs before anything is agreed.

Questions families ask

In many cases, yes. Where both partners' needs are high, we'll recommend two carers or extra overnight support so everyone stays safe.
