We'll provide assistance with tasks like showering, dressing and toileting to maintain your dignity.

Domestic assistance

We'll help you with the housework, cooking and laundry so your home stays safe and clean.

Shopping

We can organise the shopping for you, so you have more time to spend with your loved one.

Respite

We'll take over caring responsibilities when your carer needs time out, including overnight and on the weekends.

Meal preparation

We'll take the stress out of eating well by supporting you with meals, according to your dietary needs.

Sensitive care in the comfort of your home

LiveBetter provides discreet and professional care for people who wish to die at home – according to their wishes, and with their consent.

Our experienced team is flexible, and we do all we can to support families during this time. For example, we might start by visiting once a week to help with the housework and build a rapport with you. Once we understand the best way to offer support, we’ll increase our services according to what is needed. Or we might provide more intense services towards the end of life.
