Families across the UK are increasingly choosing home-based care for older loved ones, with new data showing clear benefits for health and wellbeing. Older adults receiving live-in care experience 33% fewer falls, around 50% slower cognitive decline, and higher levels of day-to-day happiness and independence.
Patricia White’s live-in care demonstrates these benefits in practice, helping older adults stay safe, supported and connected to daily routines in the comfort of their own home.
The survey also highlights emotional and social wellbeing: 88% of people receiving live-in care report feeling happier and more settled, 79% maintain an active routine with walks or social outings, and 97% would prefer to remain in familiar surroundings rather than move into residential care.
Demand for home-based support is rising as families look for care that combines practical assistance with emotional reassurance. Patricia White’s provides live-in care nationwide, with carers delivering personalised support for mobility, personal care, meal preparation, companionship and meaningful daily routines, helping older adults stay safe, confident and connected.
“These figures reflect what families tell us every day,” said Cameron Young, CEO of Trinity Homecare Group, parent company of Patricia White’s. “People want stability, dignity and reassurance in a place that feels like their own.
“With the right support, home can be the best place for older adults to thrive. By choosing live-in care, families can feel confident their loved ones are supported, safe and able to enjoy the comfort and familiarity of home.”
