Couples Care

Live-in care for couples in Lincolnshire

Two people, one carer, and no need to live apart.

When one or both partners need care, couples can face being split up between homes - or one partner wearing themselves out caring for the other.

With live-in care, one carer supports you both, with very different needs if necessary, in the home you've shared.

Signs it may be time

  • One of you is caring for the other and struggling
  • You both need some help with everyday life
  • Staying together is the most important thing

How your carer helps

Care for each of you

Personal care and medication tailored to each person.

Running the home

Cooking for two, laundry and housework.

A breather

Time out for the partner who has been doing the caring.

Together time

Outings and evenings you can enjoy as a couple.

In Lincolnshire

If you're asking Lincolnshire County Council for help, each partner can have their own needs assessment, and the partner who does the caring can ask for a carer's assessment too.

Cost for two

Supporting two people takes more work than one, so the price rises - but nowhere near the cost of two care home beds. We'll quote after meeting you both.

Your questions

Usually, yes. If both partners need two people to move them at once, we'll talk about whether extra help is needed.

The partner at home isn't left alone - the carer stays, helps with hospital visits, and the plan is refreshed once you're reunited.
