My mum’s got all her things around her, she’s got more freedom and 1-1 with the carers. She sleeps better, eats better, is more content and can go out when she likes.

The ladies looking after my mother were genuinely caring, and she enjoyed their company. They were always conscientious and were kept well informed of her needs as they changed. We appreciated their reliability and experience.

Julia H (Daughter of Client)

The care is excellent and my mother is very happy with her care givers and looks forward to their visits. All carers are kind, empathetic and proactive - the managers and office staff are the same. I cannot recommend Unique Senior Care highly enough.

Judy R (Daughter of Client)

I am very happy with the service. The caregivers are always happy, friendly and very good at their jobs. I always feel safe with them and I look forward to them coming.

Robert W (Client / Service User)

We have been using Unique for 18 months now and are very pleased with them. My father adores his current pair of alternating carers and nothing is too much trouble, either from them or from their manager.

Sarah W (Daughter of Client)

Unique have been brilliant. Everything I said we needed has been provided in a friendly, professional and cheerful manner. I was concerned that my wife would struggle to accept help but the lady who comes is the same one each time, which was something we requested, has built up a good relationship with her.

Neville R (Husband of Client)

Unique have brought peace of mind with their professional and very caring service. From the first phone call, and then every subsequent staff member I met, gave me a feeling of confidence. I now personally understand why Unique comes highly recommended as I too have nothing but praise for the service offered by Unique.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your loved one is becoming unsafe at home but doesn't want to leave
  • You’re constantly worrying between visits or phone calls.
  • A care home doesn’t feel like the right fit.
  • You’ve become more of a carer than a son or daughter.
  • Everyday tasks are becoming harder, but your loved one still wants independence.
  • You need more support, while still wanting life to feel familiar.

Live-in care gives families steady, one-to-one support at home, with a Caregiver matched to your loved one’s needs and a Care Manager overseeing every detail.

Tailored care for your unique needs

Live in care allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving compassionate, one-to-one support from familiar Caregivers. It’s a more personalised alternative to a care home that helps maintain independence, well-being, and connection to their community.

  • Personalised, one-to-one care:- Your loved one will have a dedicated caregiver who gets to know their daily routines, needs, and preferences so care is completely bespoke.
  • Comfort of familiar surroundings: Staying at home means avoiding the emotional stress of relocating, helping your loved one feel safe and secure in the place they know best.
  • Support for independence: With live in care, your loved one can continue to live life on their terms, staying involved in their community and daily activities.
  • Lower risk of infections: Home care reduces exposure to infections that are more common in group living environments.
  • Care that adapts as needs change: As your loved one’s needs evolve, their care can seamlessly adapt to ensure they always receive the right level of support.

How does live in care differ from a care home?

house icon
Live in care at home
  • 24/7 personalised care: Live in care offers round-the-clock support to meet daily needs, while ensuring any health concerns or safety issues are promptly addressed.

  • Stay in the Comfort of Home: Live in care provides a safer, more comfortable environment at home, reducing the emotional stress of relocating to a care home.

  • Consistent Caregivers: With live in care, your loved one benefits from a dedicated Caregiver who knows their routines and preferences, ensuring personalised, consistent support.

  • Specialised Health Support: Live in Caregivers are trained to manage a wide range of health conditions, providing attentive care at home that adapts to changing needs.

building icon
Care home
  • Shared Attention: In care homes, staff support multiple residents, meaning individual support may be less personalised compared to one-on-one care at home.

  • Social Environment: Care homes offer a community setting where residents can socialise and participate in group activities, which can benefit those seeking more social interaction.

  • Caregiver Changes: Shift changes mean residents interact with different Caregivers throughout the day, which may make it harder to maintain consistency and notice changes in wellbeing.

  • Flexibility in routine: Care homes have structured routines to meet all residents’ needs, which can mean less flexibility compared to home care.

The Unique Senior Care team

We are a care company that specialises in one thing: people.
