Living at Home

Home care services in Swansea – live independently with support

What does it do?

Living at Home is a professional live-in care agency operating in Swansea, Cardiff, and surrounding areas like Gower, Llanelli, Neath, and Port Talbot. Their mission is to help clients maintain independence, comfort, and dignity in their own homes—believing firmly that "home is where the heart is.

Who it is for?

The service is mainly for:

  • Older adults who want to remain in their own homes instead of moving into residential care.

  • Adults living with disabilities, dementia, or long-term health conditions who may need extra support with day-to-day life.

  • Families and carers who need respite care or additional help to support their loved ones.

 

It’s essentially aimed at people who want independence but need extra support with personal care, household tasks, companionship, or more specialist care at home.

Where it is available?

Regional service (Cardiff, Swansea).

    – They’ll ask about daily routines, health requirements, family involvement, and preferences to ensure the care plan is tailored.

  3. Transparent Discussion of Costs & Funding
    – They’ll provide a clear breakdown of fees based on your needs.
    – If relevant, they’ll explain funding options (local authority support, NHS funding, or private payment).
