Do you cover West Cornwall and the Lizard?
Yes. We prioritise carers who drive so they can support clients in villages where shops and surgeries are several miles away.

Live-in Care in Cornwall
Cornwall's beauty is also a challenge for care — long distances, limited transport and a high proportion of older residents. CareSetup introduces vetted self-employed live-in carers so families can keep loved ones safely at home.
Why live-in care in Cornwall
Stay at home in Cornwall with a carer matched to you.
Many Cornish families face the dilemma of an ageing parent in a remote cottage and adult children working hundreds of miles away. A live-in carer solves both the practical care issue and the daily reassurance for family.
Care home availability in Cornwall is limited and waiting lists can be long, particularly in the far west. A live-in introduction is often the quickest route to consistent, high-quality care.
Our coordinators work alongside the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust and community nursing teams to make sure live-in placements complement existing clinical input — including for end-of-life care at home, often in partnership with Cornwall Hospice Care.
In Cornwall, where adult children often live hundreds of miles away, a live-in carer is frequently the difference between staying at home in the village and a long move into residential care.

Live-in care questions answered.
Can a live-in carer help us avoid moving to a care home in Cornwall?
For most families that is exactly why they call. A live-in carer gives one-to-one continuity at home and is often comparable in cost to a Cornwall care home placement.
Can you provide end-of-life care at home in Cornwall?
Yes — we work with Cornwall Hospice Care and district nursing teams to provide compassionate live-in support for clients who want to die at home.
Will the same carer support my relative long-term?
We aim for continuity — typically a small team of two matched carers rotating, so the same familiar faces stay in the home for the long term.
