LIVE IN CARE

Our Live-in service is underpinned on our values of your Home, your Care, your Choice.

Your home is a private place. We have tailored our Live-in Care service to suite our clients’ way of life. The care we provide will ensure that you continue to enjoy the comfort of your safe and familiar home environment. Our service is provided with dignity and care ensuring that we respect your privacy and safeguard your most treasured possession, your Home

We strive to provide this service ensuring adequate support and peace of mind to remove the anxieties and worries of living at home or getting through the night.

With this service we are able to facilitate earlier and safer discharges from hospital to home.



We have designed this service to be flexible and tailored to individual circumstances. This means we can provide 24 hour support in the form of constant care or your care can be arranged in such a way that it is split to cover constant night support, periodic night support or sleep over support.

With FirstCol’s Live-in care service you or a family member will be able to live at home rather than spending more time in a hospital or some other supported accommodation.

Most people prefer to be in their own home which offers them comfortable and familiar surroundings. Our clients are able to achieve a degree of independence, enabling them to follow their normal routines, have the freedom of choice over meals/meal times, go shopping, watch TV, receive visitors, socialise and take outings.
