Is Live-in Care Right for You?
Live-in care is worth considering if your loved one:
- Needs support throughout the day and night but does not want to move into a care home.
- Has a progressive condition such as Parkinson's, MS or motor neurone disease.
- Lives alone in Berkshire — Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough, Ascot or Bracknell — and family live far away causing ongoing worry.
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. We’re your local Visiting Angels team — our caregivers live locally and support families across Berkshire every day, and we’re here to listen and help you find the right path forward. Magdalena Zieba, our Registered Care Manager, oversees every care plan across Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough, Ascot and Bracknell.

Washing, dressing, grooming and continence care delivered with dignity and respect every day.
Medication Support

Companionship Care
Genuine companionship, conversation and trips out locally — a walk along the Thames at Boulter's Lock, afternoon tea in Cookham, browsing the shops in Maidenhead town centre or a quiet afternoon in the garden at home.

Live-in Care Vs A Care Home in Berkshire
Live-in care or visiting home care?
Families often compare round-the-clock live-in support with visiting home care. Our Berkshire guide explains suitability, routines and costs side by side.
Live-in Care At Home
- Your loved one stays in the home they know and love
- A team of dedicated carers who knows them personally
- Meals based on what they actually like, not a set menu
- You choose who provides the care
- Full independence, dignity and familiar surroundings maintained
- You get to design your own care plan
Moving to a Care Home
- Leaving a home they may have lived in for decades
- Rotating staff with varying levels of continuity
- Less one-to-one time and personal attention
- Set mealtimes and shared facilities
For many families across Berkshire, when they sit down and compare the two, live-in care is not just the more personal option — it is often the more practical one too. Live-in care starts from £2,000 per week with a minimum of 3 days, while our visiting care starts from £38 per hour on weekdays.
Magda came to introduce Dad to two wonderful ladies, who are both fabulous. They are so caring, and he has really got to know and trust them. It’s lovely that he sees the same two familiar faces rather than lots of different people coming into his home. I am so grateful to the whole team for making a stressful situation so much easier for me.
Mum’s confidence had really disappeared after her fall. She stopped going out much and didn’t feel comfortable doing things on her own anymore, so it’s been lovely to see the change in her. She’s now enjoying short walks again and even feels confident enough to go into Windsor town with her carer, which she hadn’t been doing at all.
It’s made such a difference to all of us really. Mum feels safe and comfortable, and she genuinely enjoys spending time with her carer. We feel much more reassured knowing she’s in kind and capable hands and would definitely recommend Visiting Angels to any family looking for care and support.
All the carers they have provided have been very kind and gentle with Mum. Sally has been looking after Mum on a regular basis and she not only provides great care but also great company for Mum, when Dad has his head buried in a book or watching sport on TV.
Debbie has also kept in regular contact with Mum and the family making sure that we are happy with the care being provided.
Thank you Visiting Angels, keep up the good work!

A little on the expensive side, compared to some other care companies but you get what you pay for
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
“Thank you for your invaluable service and for making it very simple. I know that Mum was truly happy to have someone there to help her with all her needs.”

Laurence, Son of client

Frequently Asked Questions About Live-in Care in Berkshire
What is live-in care and how does it work?
Live-in care means a fully trained carer moves into your loved one’s home and provides round-the-clock support. They have their own room and work agreed hours each day, with built-in rest breaks. It means there is always someone there — overnight, at weekends and during any unexpected moment.
How quickly can live-in care start in Berkshire?
In straightforward cases we can arrange live-in care within a few days of assessment. For more complex care needs it may take a little longer to match the right carer. Call us on 01753 306187 and we will give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
Can I choose the live-in carer?
Yes — this is central to everything we do. You meet potential carers before any care begins and have the final say on who moves into your loved one’s home. If the match is not right, we will find someone better suited.
Is live-in care suitable for someone living with dementia?
Yes. Consistent routines, familiar surroundings and a trusted face are among the most effective ways to support someone living with dementia — which is why live-in care is often the best option for dementia clients in Berkshire.
