Hourly home care and live-in care both include care provided in an individual’s home. With hourly home care the carer visits the client for a period of time on the agreed-upon days and with live in care the carer lives with the person round the clock.
What is the difference between live in care and domiciliary care?
Both live-in care and domiciliary care include care provided in a person’s home. However, with live-in care the carer lives with the person round the clock, 24/7, whereas with domiciliary care the carer visits the client for a period of time on the agreed-upon days.

Who is hourly home care for?
Hourly home care is common among elderly people who prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes rather than moving into a care home. It is also used by younger adults with complex medical conditions such as Learning Disabilities, Acquired Brain Injuries, Acquired Spinal Injuries and Motor Neurones Disease.
The service enables people to continue to enjoy to live life the way they want. They can retain control over daily routines, have friends and family visit whenever they wish, remain at home with their partner and keep their pets.
Hourly home care also provides security and peace of mind as it reduces the risk of incidents occurring and families having to make ‘reactive’ unplanned decisions regarding care.
