Review from C L (Friend of Client) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Live in care provided a respite live in carer for my friend, who is living with dementia, for eight months.
The respite carer was gentle, kind and provided excellent support and care throughout.
Live in care, Somerset provided exemplary support to the respite carer as well as to the three people who were responsible for making the arrangements for my friend.
They were always responsive, thoughtful and compassionate in their support
Their local connections were very helpful when my friend's situation deteriorated and we all needed additional support.

I am very grateful to Live in Care and, although not easily impressed, am impressed by this agency.

My mother came out of hospital with care needs we did not know about.

Live in care communicate to me often and always check on my well-being. Their choice of Carer's are quite suitable . I feel comfortable and safe with their choice . I enjoy the fact I am able to build relationships with some of the Carer's and Live in care promote having those careers return . I would have no hesitation in recommending Live In Care to any potential clients.

Live in Care provided a very reliable and dedicated support for my mother which enabled her to remain in the family home during her final years.
Mum's carer was with her for nearly five years and from the outset was devoted to Mum's needs and treated her with patience and affection. Nothing was too much trouble. My family are very grateful to her carer who ensured her final years were spent living comfortably at home.

Our family would also like to express our thanks to the staff in the office for their continual support for the duration of their service.

Overall Experience
It broke our hearts when Dad was sent from hospital to a care home, he was terribly unhappy there and it took its toll on him. We got in contact with Live In Care who arranged a visit to meet Dad and we discussed his needs.
I'll never forget the day he arrived back home, his smile was priceless and very quickly we saw his mood lift. He was back where he wanted to be and he could have his family and friends visit him which was very important to him. His carer was amazing, she worked extremely hard, not just personal care, medication, washing, cleaning, shopping, she provided companionship, encouraged independence whilst treating him with respect and dignity.

Live In Care were brilliant, they worked as a team and provided 24-hour assistance via telephone or by the app. Live In Care also provided support to me and were always there for advice, even during the many times Dad was admitted into hospital. I will always be grateful for their care and support during my Dad's final years.

We have been so impressed by all at Live In Care. They really have gone above and beyond to look after mum in her final weeks. It is solely due to them that she was able to leave hospital and be at home, where she wanted to be and where she wanted to die. Both carers who looked after her were simply amazing. I hadn't realised that people existed who were just so kind and genuinely caring. Nothing was too much trouble for them and their patience and gentleness with mum was just amazing. They were also both so sensible and realistic. Mum herself was so grateful for all that they were doing for her. They are both golden people, and their next clients are very lucky.

Overall Experience

If you're looking for a company to help with care needs for yourself or a loved one, I would honestly say, look no further! Live In Care has been looking after our dad for the past 6 months and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done and continue to do. From the moment I first spoke to the wonderful member of staff in the office, right through to the amazing carers we have been provided with, the incredible support from the accounts team and all the staff, I literally can't fault them. They are such an exceptional team of people. Without her I'm not sure we would have secured the funding we really needed, she is so knowledgeable, patient and professional. Dad's main carer is the most wonderful carer we could have ever wished for. It is rare for me to write reviews but this is 100% deserved. Thank you to you all.

Reply from Peter Cullen, Managing Director at Live In Care

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this excellent feedback. Understanding what our clients need makes our live-in care service tailored and person-centred, which is crucial.

Overall Experience

Engagement with Live in Care was always positive and professional. The live-in care workers who supported and cared for my dad during the last few months of his life were wonderful. They provided Dad with personalised care, which included, home-cooked meals and accompanying him on walks and a range of other outdoor activities. Dad had dementia and having these friendly, caring and skilled carers with him at all times dramatically reduced his anxiety and put a smile on his face. Knowing that Dad was being so well looked after was such a blessing to us. One amazing carer helped me nurse Dad during the last days of his life, which meant Dad died comfortably and peacefully at home, which had been his and his family’s wish.

Overall Experience

Live In Care has been brilliant. My mother had a fall and could no longer manage on her own. From the first assessment appointment, all the members of staff have been both super friendly and professional, they are always responsive, and their work is focused clearly on ensuring that Mum is happy. The carers have been extremely conscientious, and Mum now has a longer-term carer whom she feels thoroughly spoilt by. I still can’t quite believe that Mum is being taken care of so well. It has been a huge relief, and I am so glad and grateful that I found Live In Care.

Reply from Peter Cullen, Managing Director at Live In Care
Thank you, Sue, for such a wonderful review of the care we provide to Mum. We do our utmost to be as responsive as we can to people who need our help, and we really appreciate your recognition of this. Mum is a pleasure to care for and very easy to spoil. We believe that having a regular carer makes all the difference.

My mother has been using 'Live In Care' for the last twelve months. They have worked really hard to fulfil all her personal requests and she now has two wonderful live-in carers who have enabled her to remain safely at home instead of having to move to a nursing home. This is not only wonderful for her, but for her family too, who have not had the heartache of seeing her sent against her wishes to live in a home. This is a professionally run company that gives great support and reassurance every step of the way. Fabulous thank you so much.

Review from Steve V (Son of Client) published on 11 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Live-in-care provided a carer for much of the last year of my mother's life.

After two very adequate ladies initially, we were blessed with an angel who was her main carer, who cared for mum for most of the final six months of her long (92 years) life, particularly going above and beyond for mum during her last fortnight. Working with our family and health care professionals, mum was then able to pass away peacefully at home, as she had always wanted, on Good Friday. Her carer was both kind and professional. What more could we have asked for.

Live In Care have provided an excellent service from the start. All the staff have been so helpful. They communicate well and respond to questions quickly. The service is professional, efficient, friendly and respectful. Nothing appears too much trouble. They made a prompt and accurate assessment of my mother's needs and quickly identified a fantastic carer. When they had concerns about my mother's health the service manager made a personal visit to check that everything was being done that needed to be done. They provide ongoing monitoring to check that both the client and the carer are happy with how things are going. I highly recommend this service.

We are overwhelmed by your wonderful comments, thank you so much. Mum is an absolute pleasure to care for and her carer says that she's the perfect client and has never been so happy in a placement.

Overall Experience

It was by chance that I came across this company whilst I was visiting my father in the Stroke Rehabilitation Hospital. I was previously not aware of this company and at the time, unsure about Live-in Care, due to my previous experiences when looking for Live-in Care earlier last year with other providers. However, I am delighted that I found Live-in Care, as the service they are providing for my father is outstanding. This is through all the contact I have had with their manager, office team and the diligent care and attention provided by their first-class carers. Their online reporting system is second to none, enabling me to know on a real-time basis that everything is in order for my father. I thoroughly recommend this company for their entirely efficient, professional and empathetic service, which has removed all my concerns over my father’s well-being.

Reply from Peter Cullen, Managing Director at Live In Care

Thank you for your amazing comments. We work closely with the stroke rehabilitation units in Somerset and it's something we are very passionate about. We're just so pleased we could help to get Dad home and allow him to remain living independently in his own, familiar surroundings. He's an absolute pleasure to care for and his two regular carers think the same.
