When someone you love reaches a point where living alone is no longer safe or sustainable, it can feel overwhelming trying to work out the right next step. One question often comes up: “Is a care home our only option?”
The short answer is no. At Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire, our live in care service offers a deeply personal, flexible and compassionate alternative that allows people to remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by everything familiar and meaningful to them.
Live in care means having a carefully matched Care Professional living with your loved one, providing one-to-one support tailored to their daily routines, preferences and personality. This is not just about ticking off tasks. It is about preserving independence, dignity and the emotional warmth that comes from genuine companionship.
Whether it is a cup of tea just the way Mum likes it, help getting out into the garden or support with personal care and medications, everything is shaped around the person’s lifestyle and needs rather than the other way around.
One of the most powerful benefits of live in care is consistency. Unlike a care home in Derby, Ashbourne or South Derbyshire, where staff rotate and routines are shared among many residents, live in care offers ongoing, one-to-one support from a dedicated Care Professional who gets to know your loved one over time. That consistent presence helps build trust, reduces anxiety and can be especially valuable for people living with dementia.
Our Care Professionals at Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire provide more than just practical care. They take the time to build meaningful relationships with the people they support. Whether it’s a friendly chat, shared meals or watching a favourite programme together, we know that emotional connection is just as important as day-to-day assistance.
No two care journeys are the same. That’s why our live in care service in Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire is designed to adapt. Some families need short-term support, such as after a hospital stay or to give family carers a much-needed rest. Others are looking for a longer-term solution that can change alongside evolving health or mobility needs, including palliative and end-of-life care.
We take the time to understand each person’s routines, wishes and preferences. Working closely with families and healthcare professionals, we build care plans that can adjust over time. You stay in control, every step of the way.
For couples, live in care can be a surprisingly practical and heartfelt alternative to moving into a residential care home in Derby, Ashbourne or South Derbyshire. Rather than facing separation or paying for two care home places, partners can continue living side by side in the home they love, supported by one dedicated Care Professional.
It is a cost-effective option, but more importantly, it protects the emotional wellbeing that comes from staying together. You can learn more about live in care for couples here.
At Radfield Home Care Derby, Ashbourne & South Derbyshire, we are not a distant voice on the phone. We are a trusted part of the community and take pride in being local, responsive and approachable.
Our Care Professionals are carefully chosen not only for their skills but for their warmth and values. Every person we place is DBS checked, fully trained and supported by our close-knit team. This gives you peace of mind, knowing you are in safe, compassionate hands.
If you are a family member considering your care options in Derby, Ashbourne or surrounding areas, we understand how heavy this decision can feel. Our live in care service is designed to ease that burden, not add to it. We are here to give you clarity, reassurance and honest guidance with no pressure, just support.
Whether you are exploring care options for the first time or looking for a better solution than residential care in Derby, Ashbourne or South Derbyshire that is currently in place, we are here to help.
If you would like to know more about how live in care works, what it costs or whether it is right for your loved one, please contact us. We would be happy to have a conversation about the ways we can support you and your loved ones.
