Cotswolds Villages

We appreciate how living in some of the rural Cotswold villages can present its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to the limited transport links and lack of access to regular support. That's where live-in care can be a real comfort, by offering the same level of care as for those in towns.

We are also proud to serve areas in and around the Forest of Dean, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, plus many more areas of Gloucestershire.

Even if your town or village is not listed above, our team may still be able to help. Get in touch and we will see how we can support you or your loved one.

FAQs About Live-In Care

24 hour in-home care

What is Live-In Care?

Live-in care is a full-time care solution where a professional carer lives in your home to provide round-the-clock support. They are available both day and night to help with personal care, medication, cooking, housekeeping, companionship and more.
It allows older adults to remain in their own homes, rather than moving into a residential facility or nursing home.
It’s ideal for those needing constant supervision or ongoing help due to long-term conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, MS or stroke recovery.

What are the Benefits of Live-In Care?

There are many benefits to choosing live-in care over other types of support:

Stay in your own home, surrounded by your memories, pets and familiar comforts
Receive one-to-one, personalised care that adapts to your daily routine

24-hour companionship, reducing loneliness and improving emotional well-being

Support with mobility, medication, personal care, household tasks and more
Flexible care that can change as your needs evolve
For couples, it allows both people to remain living together, even if one needs more support

Choosing live-in care also gives families peace of mind, knowing someone is always there to help.

Is Live-In Care Cheaper than a Nursing Home?

Live-in care costs vary depending on your care needs, but it can often be more cost-effective than a care home – especially for couples or those needing complex, individualised support.

Unlike a care home, where you pay for accommodation and shared staff time, live-in care provides one dedicated carer focused solely on you.

It can also save on costs like selling your home or relocating, which may be required for residential care. And importantly, it offers better value for those who wish to stay in control of their environment and routine.

How Does Live-In Care Work?

Live-in care works by having a fully trained carer live in your home to provide help with your day-to-day needs. They typically work a set number of hours each day (usually 10–12), and are available for emergency or occasional night-time support if needed.

The carer gets their own room and breaks during the day. They support with tasks like washing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, mobility, managing medication and running errands.

Live-in care is arranged around your lifestyle and preferences, giving you independence while keeping you safe and supported at home.

At Kemble at Home, we take this further.

Kelly or Marisa will personally visit you to understand your lifestyle, preferences and needs. They select and introduce a carer we think you’ll get on well with. You’ll meet them before care begins, and your match is carefully chosen, not just assigned.

Our live-in home carers are warm, skilled and experienced, many of whom have cared for a loved one before. They’re committed to helping you live a full and supported life with 24-hour care that feels natural, not intrusive.

Is 24-Hour In-Home Care Right for You?

If you want to stay in your own home but need more support to do so safely, 24-hour live-in care could be the ideal solution. It suits people who:

Need daily or overnight assistance
Live alone or with a partner who can’t provide full-time care
Have complex medical needs, memory loss or mobility issues
Want to avoid moving into a care home

We understand that you’d prefer to stay in familiar surroundings – i.e. sleeping in your own bed, surrounded by personal belongings, with the freedom to eat what you want, when you want.

Live-in care enables this, while still giving you the help you need.
