Short Term Respite Available

You’re not tied in to long contracts, we can provide short term support. This is particularly useful when a carer needs respite, or you’re being discharged from Leeds General Infirmary.

The Experience of a Family in Leeds

Select Choice has supported my brother for three years, and the service is absolutely excellent. I couldn’t ask for more. I’d recommend the company to anyone who needs their family members to be given the best care.

Who could Live-in Care benefit?

Live-in care offers people across Leeds the opportunity to receive dedicated support while continuing to live independently in the comfort of their own home. It can be a valuable alternative to residential care for individuals who require ongoing support but still want to maintain familiar routines, surroundings, and independence.

Many families in Leeds explore live-in care following a hospital discharge, diagnosis of a long-term condition, or increasing concerns around safety, mobility, or loneliness. With a live-in carer available throughout the day, support can be tailored entirely around the person’s needs — whether that involves personal care, medication support, meal preparation, companionship, or assistance attending appointments and social activities.

Live-in care can benefit people living with dementia, reduced mobility, complex care needs, or those who simply feel more comfortable with consistent one-to-one support at home. Our approach at Select Choice Community Support is centred around providing reliable, flexible care that helps people remain safe, confident, and independent in the place they know best.

Common questions about live-in care in Leeds

Is live-in care cheaper than a care home in Leeds?
We focus on quality, not on competing on price. One-to-one live-in care isn't really comparable to a care home, where staff are inevitably divided across multiple residents. Depending on the situation, our live-in care can sometimes work out more cost-effective — particularly for couples being cared for together, or where the alternative is a specialist dementia or nursing placement. But cost-effectiveness is a bonus rather than the headline. The headline is that the quality of one-to-one care is significantly higher in most cases.
What areas around Leeds does your live-in care service cover?
Our Leeds team provides live-in care across the city and surrounding areas, including Headingley, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Moortown, Alwoodley, Horsforth, Cookridge, Adel, Pudsey, Kirkstall, Bramley, Garforth, Cross Gates, Bramhope, Otley, Yeadon, Guiseley, Ilkley, Wetherby, and Boston Spa. Because live-in care doesn't depend on a carer travelling to visits each day, we can usually cover further out than these postcodes suggest — call us if your loved one lives just outside this list.
Can live-in care start straight from a Leeds hospital discharge?
Yes — many of our live-in care arrangements in Leeds begin as a discharge from St James's Hospital, Leeds General Infirmary, or Seacroft Hospital. We can usually meet tight deadlines where they appear and we'll work with you on the timing. For non-urgent transfers we recommend a slightly longer lead time so the matching and handover is done properly, but where the situation is genuinely urgent, we move quickly. Either way we'll be honest about the realistic timescale before we commit.
How much does live-in care cost in Leeds?
Full time 24-hour live-in care starts at £235 per day for a single person. Leeds City Council may be able to assist you with this cost — read our guide to paying for care.
