Live-In Care in Thailand for British Retirees
Dedicated, round-the-clock personal care in your own Thai home — at a fraction of UK live-in care costs.
Live-in care offers an alternative to residential care homes — your own dedicated carer living with you, providing personalised support around the clock. In the UK, this premium service costs £4,000 to £6,000 per month and is often delivered through agencies with frequent staff changes.
In Thailand, the same service — with a dedicated, vetted, English-speaking carer — costs £1,200 to £2,000 per month. You get consistency, warmth, and genuine one-to-one care in a beautiful setting, at a price that doesn't drain your savings.
What's Included in Live-In Care
24/7 Dedicated Support
A dedicated live-in carer provides round-the-clock assistance, companionship, and peace of mind — with additional relief staff to ensure consistent quality.
Stay in Your Own Home
Whether you own or rent property in Thailand, live-in care allows you to remain in familiar, comfortable surroundings whilst receiving professional support.
Home-Cooked Meals
Your carer prepares nutritious meals tailored to your dietary needs and preferences — including both Western and Thai cuisine.
Health Monitoring
Qualified carers manage medications, monitor vital signs, coordinate with local doctors, and accompany you to medical appointments.
Genuine Companionship
Beyond physical care, your live-in carer provides daily conversation, social engagement, and emotional support — combating loneliness.
Outings & Transport
Your carer accompanies you on social outings, shopping trips, temple visits, and appointments — keeping you connected and active.
