Looking for a live-in carer in the UK? Eden Homecare 247 introduces families to carefully vetted, self-employed independent live-in carers, subject to suitable carer availability. We can help families looking for ongoing live-in support for older adults and other adults, including people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), motor neurone disease (MND), disability, mobility needs or other long-term support needs. Tell us where support is needed, the type of help required and when you would like the arrangement to begin.
How Eden’s live-in carer introduction service works
- You tell us about the person needing support, the location and the type of help required.
- Eden reviews suitable independent carers whose experience and availability may match the request.
- We make an introduction when an appropriate match is available.
- You can speak with the carer before deciding whether to proceed.
- If you proceed, you agree the ongoing working arrangement and carer rate directly with the independent carer.
What checks does Eden review?
Before making an introduction, Eden reviews key evidence including identity, right to work where applicable, care experience, Enhanced DBS status, references, relevant training and suitability for the family’s stated needs.

How much does the live-in introduction service cost?
Eden’s live-in carer introduction and matching fee is £300. This is separate from the independent carer’s ongoing live-in rate, which you agree directly with the carer.
Where is the service available?
The independent carer introduction service is available across the UK, subject to suitable carer availability in the area where support is needed.

What support can a live-in arrangement include?
The exact arrangement depends on the individual’s needs and the independent carer’s experience. Families may be looking for companionship, help with everyday routines, support around the home, overnight presence or ongoing live-in assistance. Eden uses the information you provide to identify carers whose experience may be suitable.
