Live-In Care in Surrey
Surrey is known for its peaceful residential areas, thriving towns, and strong sense of community. Many families choose to live here for the balance between countryside living and easy access to London. It is a place where people value independence, privacy, and a familiar way of life. When care is needed, staying at home is the most natural and reassuring choice, and a far more cost-effective and independent solution than residential care.
VersaCare is a CQC-regulated company, which is important to identify when looking for care. We train all our carers and pay them, as well as provide full liability insurance, which Introductory or Temporary Agencies do not have to provide.
Versacare provides professional live in care across Surrey, for over 16 years, offering tailored, compassionate, personal, and respectful support for older adults, those living with long term physical or mental health conditions, and individuals recovering from illness. Our head office is based in Surrey, and we understand the character, pace, and lifestyle of the county.
Why Choose Live In Care in Surrey
Live in care allows people to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving round the clock support from a trained professional. Live in care offers continuity, privacy and the ability to maintain familiar routines while providing reassurance for families who want their loved one to feel safe and supported.
VersaCare carers provide practical support with personal care, medication, mobility, meal preparation, and daily routines. They also provide companionship and emotional support, which is vital for wellbeing. The aim is always to preserve independence and dignity, allowing individuals to stay connected to their home, community, and the moments that matter.
Local Surrey Expertise
Having a genuine local presence makes a meaningful difference when arranging live-in care. Surrey is a diverse county, with busy commuter towns, peaceful villages and large rural areas, and care needs can vary greatly depending on where someone lives and how they live.
Because VersaCare is based in Surrey, we understand the character, pace and lifestyle of the area. From larger family homes in towns such as Guildford and Reigate, to quieter rural properties around Cranleigh, Ripley and the surrounding villages, our care is shaped around real local living.
Our team has experience supporting individuals:
- Returning home after hospital stays
- With a diversity of needs, to maintain a safe and independent environment
- Living independently in rural or semi-rural areas
- Maintaining routines in commuter towns with family nearby
- Supporting access to local activities
- Managing mobility and access challenges common in older Surrey homes
Surrey life is often centred around green spaces, local cafés, community groups and familiar neighbourhoods. Where appropriate, our live-in carers support individuals to continue enjoying these everyday pleasures, whether that’s a gentle outing to a nearby park, staying socially connected, or simply maintaining a calm, well-run home environment.
This local understanding allows us to provide care that feels natural, respectful and unobtrusive. Rather than changing how someone lives, we adapt our support to fit the life they already know and value.

- Medication support, providing reassurance that treatments are taken safely and correctly
- Mobility assistance and fall prevention, helping your loved one move confidently around their home
- Meal planning and home-cooked food, suited to dietary needs and personal tastes
- Light household tasks, keeping the home clean, safe and comfortable

Trusted Live-In Care, Delivered with Reassurance
Inviting someone into your home is a deeply personal decision. We understand how important it is to feel confident not only in the care being provided, but in the people and systems supporting it.
At VersaCare, every aspect of our live-in care service is designed to provide reassurance for both individuals and their families.
We have been registered and rated good with CQC since 2007, which confirms our approach is:
- Carefully selected carers who are fully vetted, trained and supported
- Thoughtful matching, ensuring carers suit both care needs and personality
- Ongoing oversight from our experienced care management team
- Regular reviews, allowing care to adapt as circumstances change
- Clear communication, keeping families informed and involved, via technology allowing dynamic access to all aspects of the daily care, if desired.
- Local, accessible support, with our head office based in Surrey
We don’t believe care should ever feel transactional or distant. Families have direct access to our team, and support is always just a phone call away if questions arise or needs evolve.
This structure ensures care remains safe, consistent and dignified, while giving families confidence that their loved one is genuinely supported, not simply “assigned a carer”.
Live-In Care Tailored to Different Needs and Situations
Every individual’s circumstances are different, and live-in care should always reflect that. While all VersaCare carers are trained to provide compassionate, high-quality support, some situations require additional focus, experience or short-term flexibility.
Below are examples of how live-in care can be adapted to meet specific needs, without changing the quality, consistency or dignity of the care provided.
Dementia Live In Care in Surrey
Living with dementia brings unique emotional and practical challenges, both for the individual and their family. Live-in care is often chosen because familiar surroundings can reduce confusion, anxiety and distress.
VersaCare carers receive dementia-focused training and ongoing guidance from our care management team. This helps them support changes in memory, communication, behaviour and routine with patience and understanding.
Staying at home allows individuals to remain connected to familiar spaces, local walks, nearby shops and established daily rhythms, all of which can help maintain reassurance and emotional stability.
Our approach focuses on:
- Creating calm, structured daily routines
- Supporting independence for as long as possible
- Reducing distress through familiarity and continuity
- Treating every individual with dignity, respect and empathy
Respite Live In Care in Surrey
Sometimes live-in care is needed on a short-term basis. This might be to support recovery after illness, provide cover while a family carer takes a break, or offer reassurance during a period of change.
Respite live-in care provides consistent, professional support without disrupting established routines or home life. It allows families to rest, recharge or attend to other responsibilities, knowing their loved one is safe and well cared for.
Respite care can be arranged for:
- Planned breaks or holidays
- Short-term recovery following hospital discharge
- Trial periods before longer-term care
- Temporary increases in care needs
The level of care and attention remains exactly the same – the difference is simply the duration.
Working With Families Across Surrey
Every family’s situation is unique. We provide clear communication, warm reassurance, and practical guidance throughout the process. Our care team remains closely involved with carers and families to ensure support stays consistent, dignified, and rooted in the person’s wishes.
As our head office is based in Surrey, families benefit from accessible support, local knowledge, and quick response when needed.
How to Arrange Live In Care in Surrey
Arranging live-in care begins with a simple, no-obligation conversation. If we are requested to move forward with care we will provide a no charge or obligation assessment. We take time to understand your loved one’s needs, routines and preferences, answering questions clearly and honestly along the way.
From there, we create a personalised care plan and carefully match a suitable live-in carer. Our experienced care team remains closely involved throughout, ensuring care feels consistent, respectful and responsive as needs change.
Support can often begin within a short timeframe, and we’ll guide you through each step at a pace that feels right for you. Our priority is to make the process clear, reassuring and centred around what matters most to your family.
