A fully managed live-in care company quite literally ‘manages’ the care being provided by a Live-in Carer employed by them. Like any other ‘employer’ the company is therefore responsible for the training, supervision, performance of the carer and will take complete responsibility for his/her conduct. Live-in Care companies that offer ‘managed’ care are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we would advise you to read their latest report which you will find on the CQC website. ‘Managed’ Carers will work following strict instruction for a care plan, written by the company. Any changes are required to be re-drafted in the plan making the model less flexible than that of an introductory agency. Due to employment overheads, this type of Live-in Care will often be more expensive.
