Frequently asked questions
What does live-in care cost in Sunbury?
Weekly rates in Sunbury typically fall between £1,300 and £1,600 depending on complexity. Couples pay one rate, not two.
When should we switch from visits to live-in?
Common triggers in Sunbury: nights becoming unsafe, weight loss, repeated falls, or spouse-carer burnout. If visits are creeping past 10 hours a day, it's usually time to compare.
Can we try live-in short-term first?
Yes — a two-week live-in trial (often over a spouse's holiday) is the best way to see if it suits your family.
Does the carer sleep in?
Live-in carers have a spare bedroom and are entitled to eight hours' overnight rest — waking twice is included. For more disturbed nights we add a waking-night carer.
What if we start with visits and need to escalate?
We handle the transition. Same team, same coordinator, same records — the change feels seamless to the person receiving care.
