Stay in the comfort of home
A more dignified alternative to a care home, your loved ones keep their home, their memories and their independence, with no displacement or downsizing that can come with residential homes.
Live-in care at home
Life, lived at home. Care, with companionship.
Independent living for your loved ones, and peace of mind that they’re looked after professionally and with dignity.
Chaytor & Swann provides top-quality live-in care, supporting your loved ones to remain where they are most comfortable – home.
What is live-in care?
A carer. A companion. A constant presence.
A full-time carer lives in your home, helping with the daily routine, managing care needs and providing companionship, at home and beyond.
Alongside managing care needs your carer helps your loved one avoid the isolation that can come with higher needs. We provide someone to talk to, do the crossword with, make the lunch and wash up after, or simply be there in the background, keeping a gentle eye on things.
Why live-in care?

Your routine, not a rota
No pre-booked time slots. A live-in carer offers the flexibility to shape each day the way your family wants it, with the familiarity of the same face each day.
Often more cost-effective
Live-in care frequently costs less than a residential home and minimises the stresses that can come with a change like this – all while keeping the whole family in control.
How it works
Your journey with us
It starts with a conversation. Live-in care isn’t always the right answer, so we’ll help you think through the options honestly.
Just give us a call
Talk through your questions, thoughts and concerns. It’s often an emotional, complex area – so a conversation is the right first step.
A full assessment
We assess care needs, the home environment and personality, drawing on our team of nurses, physios and health professionals.
The right carer, matched
We find someone who truly fits your loved one’s needs and preferences to match you with a carer who won’t be a stranger for long.
Ongoing support & cover
Carers stay in situ for around 4–8 weeks, depending on circumstances, with an interim carer arranged for their leave. We ensure you have access to experienced nurses throughout.
“Chaytor & Swann is a refreshing change, with a genuinely personal touch. They really took the time to understand not only what the person receiving care needs, but what I need as family carer too. We especially appreciated Ben spending time with us in our home, getting to know both my husband and me, in order to fit just the right person to our circumstances.”
