Live-In Care in Southampton
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Southampton and the Hampshire towns around it. A trained and DBS-checked carer takes up residence at your relative’s address, so the paper, the bus to town and the Saturday match on the radio carry on as they always have. One carer every day lets trust grow slowly, and a first conversation with us commits you to nothing.
Is your relative on a ward at Southampton General Hospital while staff talk about getting home? Call us as early as you can. The hospital is run by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, it is listed as a Major Trauma Centre and Wikipedia gives it 1,362 beds, so discharges can be arranged at short notice. We speak to the ward and line up a carer, a warm house and a plan, so that all of it is in place when your relative walks through the door.
Even the walk to the bus stop can use up a morning once the legs begin to tire. Phone us on 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Southampton: the Bargate, the Common and the Waterfront
Picture a retired docker of eighty-five who spent his working life within sight of the ships. Ask him about the port and he will talk until the tea goes cold. His carer takes him to the waterfront at Mayflower Park, where the Boat Show has been held since 1968, with a rug over his knees and a flask in the bag, and lets him point out what is in port. Southampton is a home port for some of the largest cruise ships in the world, so there is nearly always something to see. He comes home pink with the wind and eats every scrap of his supper.
An afternoon like that could belong to your own parent, and the first step towards it is a free assessment that begins with a phone call.
Outings depend on a settled routine at home, so what follows is an ordinary day with a live-in carer, from the first cup of tea to the last tablet at night.
No Clock-Watching
Washing and dressing go at your relative’s speed, and breakfast arrives the way they have always had it. The carer sleeps under the same roof, so nobody sits by the window wondering if someone is coming.
The Common and the Lakes
Southampton Common covers 148 hectares, with an ornamental lake, a boating lake and woodland paths. The carer picks a dry day, packs a folding stool and turns back the moment your relative says they have had enough.
Tablets and Check-Ups
Medicines are given on time and written in a daily log. Whether the appointment is a clinic at Southampton General Hospital or the family doctor, the carer goes too, listens closely and reports back to the family.
Home Cooking
Meals follow health advice and old habit, from a full cooked breakfast to a bowl of soup. The carer shops where your relative likes, and a favourite fish supper is an easy request.
Stories in Stone
The Tudor House Museum reopened in July 2011 after restoration, and SeaCity Museum looks at the city’s trading past and the Titanic. Your relative picks what appeals, and the carer rings ahead about opening times and access.
Safe on the Stairs
The carer stays close on the staircase and by the bath, clears rugs and loose cables, and tells the family early if the house itself is turning into a risk.

Why Southampton Families Pick NeeryVille Care
Search for live-in care in Southampton and most of what comes up is a directory of providers or an agency page written for a whole area. The three pages we opened did not link to Southampton City Council’s own pages, and none gave a Southampton daily price in writing. Ours points to the council, names a local dementia nursing service and states the daily rate, with one employed carer in your relative’s home. Here is why Southampton families choose us.
A familiar face each morning
A carer who learns how the tea is poured, which radio station is on and where the glasses get left becomes part of the day, and your relative is seen as a person and not a care plan.
Our same-carer approach exists for that reason, and for someone living with dementia a face they recognise at the bedroom door can calm the whole morning.
Stop within 14 days at no charge
If the arrangement does not feel right at any time in the first 14 days, it can end straight away, with no notice and no fee.
That is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Southampton family can try live-in care without being tied in.
Carers who work for us
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Every carer is employed, trained and supervised by us, not self-employed and handed on from a list. You can check our registration on the CQC website before you commit.
Guided by clinicians
Each placement runs within a clinical governance framework overseen by experienced clinicians, so support for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery from a stroke stays dependable from one month to the next.
Home in a day or two
Wards at Southampton General Hospital can bring a discharge forward at short notice. Once we have met, a matched carer is usually in the house within 24 to 48 hours, which means someone is with your relative day and night in Southampton from the moment they arrive. Tell us the date the minute you hear it and we will work out that first night together.
Managed by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia training, and he personally oversees every placement. When you ring, you reach him or a member of the care team.

When Does a Southampton Family Need a Live-In Carer?
Few people decide on a single day. A live-in carer starts to make sense when help is needed at night as well as in daylight, but the person concerned is firm about staying where they are.
Think of a widow of eighty-seven who broke her hip in the kitchen and came home from Southampton General Hospital with a frame and a list of exercises. Her son arrives on the Sunday to find the heating off to save money, the exercises untouched and her still in the cardigan she wore on Friday. She tells him she is fine. A carer in the house would have put the heating on, helped with the exercises and rung him that same evening. Call us before the cold week, not after it.
At our first meeting we ask what a good day looked like for her before the fall, and the plan is built from the answer.
If you are the one worn out, driving up the motorway and missing weekends at home, live-in respite care in Southampton lets you sleep while a steady carer takes over.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Southampton
Our live-in carers in Southampton support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, across Southampton and the Hampshire towns beside it.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Under One Roof: Couples in Southampton
Think of a retired nurse whose memory has begun to slip and her husband, a former merchant seaman, whose breathing makes the stairs a struggle. They met in their twenties and have lived in the same house ever since, and neither will hear of a care home that would separate them.
A single live-in carer can steady him on the stairs and keep his oxygen routine in order, then sit with her over the photographs and remind her what the day holds. Tell us about the two of them and we will explain how one plan might look after both.

Why Southampton Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived in Southampton long enough to remember the liners and the bomb sites, live-in care lets them keep the house, the habits and the view they know.
Parts of the town walls date from 1175, the Bargate was built around 1180, and God’s House Tower dates from 1417. The Port of Southampton opened its first dock in 1842, and the University of Southampton was founded in 1862. Living among that history can mean a good deal.
At home, your relative keeps their own bed, their own cupboards and their own timetable. One carer moves in and learns the small habits, so breakfast and bedtime are handled by the same person, and a couple can stay together with one carer looking after both.
Stairs in a rebuilt terrace or a postwar flat can wear a person down, and after a stay at Southampton General Hospital the same carer can be waiting at home, ready to help with steps, shopping and short walks.
To talk through what could work for your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Ask whatever you like, and there is no obligation.
Live-In Care in Southampton: The Daily Price, £190
The figure is stated here, so there is nothing to chase.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Southampton starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Your own figure is put in writing after the free assessment, before you agree to a thing.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A week in Southampton might take in a slow circuit of the Common on a fine morning, an evening at the Mayflower Theatre and a Sunday spent at the waterfront. The daily rate pays for a carer who sleeps in your relative’s home and is there at night: washing and dressing, proper meals, medicines given and written down, steadier steps on the stairs and company at appointments.
A few needs call for more, and those are dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation. We cost these after we have met, so describe what is going on and you will get straight advice.
Paying for Care at Home in Southampton
One of the first things to ask about is NHS Continuing Healthcare, which the NHS describes as care arranged and funded solely by the NHS. A short checklist comes before any full assessment, and it can be filled in by a nurse, doctor or social worker. Raise it before a hospital discharge if you can. What counts is assessed need, not the name of a diagnosis.
Southampton City Council runs adult social care for the city, and its website has a page on assessments for older people and a care self-assessment tool. The NHS directory lists its adult services on 023 8083 3003 from 9am to 5pm on weekdays. That is background to read, and you do not have to start there.
Age UK Southampton gives benefits and money advice, including help with Attendance Allowance forms, and its advice line is 023 8036 8636, Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm. For dementia, the Admiral Nursing Service supports carers in Southampton on 0300 1234 026 on weekdays, and its weekly Memory Cafes are open to carers.
A carer can begin while the paperwork is still moving, so your family does not wait for a decision.

From First Call to First Day:
Many families say that dialling was the hardest part. After that there are four short steps.
01
Pick up the phone
Nothing needs to be prepared before you ring.
Ring 0208 129 5854 and either Daniel Johnson or one of the care team will answer.
Describe how things stand at home and we will go through the options, with no forms and no pressure.
Arranging live-in care is the daily work of the person who answers.
03
We learn their story
We like to hear what Southampton meant to your relative. It could be the wartime air raids on the city, in which some 630 people died, or a father who worked at the Spitfire works in Woolston, or Saturdays at The Dell before the Saints moved to St Mary’s in 2001.
We note those memories in the plan, and the carer raises them at the right moment. Ring us whenever you feel ready.
We choose the carer
We match skills to medical needs and character to the person, so the newcomer fits into the household easily.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee lets you judge the match across the opening fortnight.
02
04
The carer moves in
The carer typically arrives within two days of the assessment, and earlier where the hospital has settled on a date.
Should your relative still be on a ward at Southampton General Hospital, we time the carer’s first day to suit what the ward intends.
A single named contact stays with you from the first call to the day everything is running smoothly.
Ring today and a carer can frequently be unpacking in your relative’s spare room before the week is out. If the ward has named a date, pass it on and we work back from it.
Our Registered Care Manager does the free assessment face to face and checks in again once the carer has started. Live-in care is the only thing we do, so your call reaches people who deal with it daily.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Live-In Care in Southampton: Your Questions Answered
How much does live-in care in Southampton cost?
NeeryVille Care charges £190 per day, fully inclusive, for live-in care in Southampton, and nothing is added later. Once the free assessment is complete, the precise figure comes to you in writing before you agree to start.
How quickly can live-in care start in Southampton?
Usually within two days of the assessment, even when the first call is from Southampton General Hospital. One phone call is all it takes to begin.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Surrounded by familiar things and looked after by one regular carer, a person with dementia meets the same face and follows the same rhythm every day. The Admiral Nursing Service supports carers in Southampton, and your GP can discuss a diagnosis.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
The family has to weigh that up. At home the bed, the kitchen and the carer stay familiar, and a husband and wife need not be separated. We go over the practical side with you before anything is agreed.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or on leave, a cover carer takes over, which keeps the household supported without a gap.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. We are a provider registered with the Care Quality Commission, and our entry is on the CQC provider page.
Which areas of Southampton do you cover?
We cover the whole city, including Portswood, Shirley and Woolston, and the Hampshire towns next to it.
Do you offer respite care in Southampton?
Yes, we offer respite care in Southampton. Anyone looking after a parent or partner who needs a real rest can arrange a live-in carer for a long weekend or a good number of weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. By the time your relative returns from Southampton General Hospital the carer can be settled in, the radiators warm and the first day mapped out.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
Throughout the first 14 days you may end the arrangement immediately if it is not right, without notice or cost.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
We take payment by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Depending on circumstances, NHS Continuing Healthcare or an assessment by Southampton City Council may be relevant, and Age UK Southampton can help with a benefits check.
Can a live-in carer walk my father through the Bargate?
The Bargate is a medieval gatehouse in the city centre, built around 1180 and Grade I listed. The carer can take him for a gentle look at it and the old walls nearby, plan a rest stop and choose a quiet time of day.
Could my mother go to the lakes on Southampton Common?
The Common has an ornamental lake, planned in 1888, and a boating lake used for model yachts since 1894. The carer can take a stool and a flask, keep to firm paths and head home when your mother is tired.
Is it possible for my husband to see a cruise ship leave?
Southampton is a home port for some of the largest cruise ships in the world. His carer can check sailing times first, choose a spot at the waterfront such as Mayflower Park and keep him warm for the wait.
