The dedicated teams at myCare Grampian and myCare Tayside have been providing care to people requiring extra support at home for over 25 years. We have now added an extra service arm, which is focused entirely on live-in care services. With such a wealth of experience and knowledge, we can deliver this to a high standard while maintaining the compassionate, personalised, and multi-faceted care we are known for.
There are many reasons why you or your loved one may require support. Knowing what the best way to go about it is may feel difficult. Many people prefer to receive care at home, if possible, rather than move to a care home, as it offers familiarity and comfort. We appreciate the importance of this and go above and beyond to help you feel as supported and safe as we can, while promoting independence.
Live-in care can be a great option for many people when extra care is required around the clock but staying at home is desired. We are proud to provide Guardian Live-in Care and look forward to telling you more about the options.
What is Guardian Live-in Care?
At myCare, it is important to us to continue to grow and respond to our client’s changing needs and preferences. As a dedicated local care provider, we provide care that helps our community and listen to what you want. That is why we are passionate about Guardian Live-in Care, which is an extension of the services we have offered for more than two decades that delivers even more care options.
Guardian Live-in Care consists of a team of experienced and highly trained care companions. Our compassionate team members, also known as care workers, move into your home to deliver care whenever is needed – day or night. That means you or your loved one can receive the care required while maintaining autonomy in a familiar environment.
What makes Us unique?
We believe that being part of a community is a fundamental element in a fulfilling life. That is why we are proud to be a locally operated organisation with local care companions who are attached to and knowledgeable of the area. If you or your loved one requires extra assistance, questions to be answered, or unmet needs, our team is close-by and easily reached.
A sense of community is also pivotal to a happy and productive life in terms of taking part in events and activities that you love, as well as giving back. Our care companions encourage and assist our clients to participate in what makes them happy. We are here not just for physical care, but also to support overall well-being and provide companionship.
How Live-in Care is Different From Home Care
Our home care services are a great option for many people. Families all around the area are more confident, happy, and safe because of the assistance our care companions provide when they visit a home. However, for some people, receiving around-the-clock support is necessary. Live-in care allows this to happen, without them having to leave their own home and enter a care home.
Instead of a care worker visiting your home for a set visit to attend to certain requirements as is done in home care, live-in care companions live with you so that they are available when you need them. This aims to improve safety and independence while providing peace of mind.
What is Included in Live-in Care?
Our varied service options are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences. Whether it be for an individual who requires care throughout the night, couples who have different levels of needs, a family requiring short-term respite care for a loved one, or specialist live-in care, our team will develop a plan that suits.
- Care can involve a broad array of options, such as:
- Assistance with day-to-day needs, such as showering, dressing, toileting, and feeding.
- Food preparation.
- Medication support.
- Pain management.
- Basic house chores.
- Help getting to appointments and events, such as medical appointments and social groups.
We get to know you or your loved one before initiating care so that we can match our care companions to shared preferences and interests. We aim to create the best experience possible for everyone: one that is beneficial, safe, and valuable.

Staying in our own homes for as long as possible is a goal for many of us. It can mean that we stay close to family, friends and beloved pets, maintain our connection to our community, and continue living the life we love. It is inevitable that many of us will reach a time when extra care is needed, but this does not always mean leaving home.
Guardian Live-in Care is dedicated to helping you or your loved one live as close to how you want to as possible. This may look different for everyone, but we will create the most suitable care we can. If you are interested in live-in care services and the options available, please contact our team to find out more.
