    "Mirelva is a truly wonderful carer, full of compassion and so patient with my mum. Nothing is too much trouble and she never wastes a second going above and beyond, and making the house always look immaculate and neat and tidy after ending to my mum first. An absolute professional and I can't recommend her highly enough. "

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Is Live-In Care and How Does It Work?

    Live-in care involves a professional carer staying in your loved one’s home and providing personalised support throughout the day. They may help with personal care, meals, medication reminders, mobility, companionship and household tasks.

    The carer follows an agreed working pattern and must also have suitable breaks and time to sleep.

    How Much Does Live-In Care Cost in Manchester?

    The cost of live-in care in Manchester depends on the carer’s experience, the person’s needs and whether specialist or frequent overnight support is required.

    Curam carers set their own weekly rates, allowing families to compare profiles and agree the cost before care begins.

    How Quickly Can Live-In Care Be Arranged in Manchester?

    In some cases, live-in care may be arranged on the same day or within 24 hours. Availability depends on the location, required start date, complexity of care and suitable carers available nearby.

    Providing clear details about routines, mobility, medication and night-time needs can help carers respond more quickly.

    Is Live-In Care the Same as 24-Hour Care?

    Not always. A live-in carer usually provides support during the day and may offer occasional agreed help overnight, while also having breaks and time to sleep.

    Someone who needs continuous awake support throughout the day and night may require a team of carers working in shifts.

    Can Live-In Care Support Someone With Dementia?

    Yes. Live-in care can help someone living with dementia remain in familiar surroundings while receiving support with routines, personal care, meals, medication reminders and companionship.

    Families can review profiles and choose a carer with relevant dementia-care experience.

    Can Couples Receive Live-In Care Together?

    Yes, live-in care may support couples who wish to remain together at home. One carer may be able to assist both people, depending on their individual needs and the complexity of the care required.

    The responsibilities and weekly rate should be agreed before care begins.

    Does a Live-In Carer Need Their Own Room?

    Yes. A live-in carer normally needs a clean, private bedroom and appropriate access to bathroom and kitchen facilities.

    Suitable accommodation gives the carer privacy and allows them to rest properly when they are not working.

    Can I Choose My Live-In Carer?

    Yes. Curam allows families to browse profiles, compare experience, availability, rates and reviews, and speak with suitable carers before making a decision.

    What Happens if My Live-In Carer Is Unavailable?

    It is helpful to discuss backup arrangements before care begins. You may be able to search for another suitable carer or contact the Curam team for support.

    Replacement care depends on availability and cannot always be guaranteed at very short notice.
