Live in Care Poole

Independent living Poole and care at home

Our dedicated carers provide vital support to families across the local community and surrounding areas, including Lilliput, Ashley Cross, Penn Hill and Lower Parkstone, Sandbanks and beyond. We understand the challenges families face, and our team is committed to offering compassionate, personalised care that helps improve the quality of life for both individuals and their loved ones.

You will never be alone in your Poole home

Home care from our Poole care team offers security and companionship any time of the day.

Getting older, becoming frail, can be very challenging. But that doesn’t mean you can’t stay in your own home, among familiar surroundings, close to family and friends, perhaps with a much-loved pet.

38+ years caring experience

At Featherbed Homecare, we believe home is more than just a place—it’s where life happens. Founded by Sally Carpenter in 1986, we have spent nearly four decades providing compassionate, high-quality live-in care for self-funded clients in your area. Our mission is simple: to help individuals maintain their independence and dignity while remaining in the comfort of their own homes.

Our dedicated Live-In Carers do more than assist with daily needs—they offer genuine companionship, encouragement, and privacy, ensuring every client feels supported and valued. Whether it’s maintaining familiar routines, engaging in favorite activities, or simply enjoying the reassurance of having someone there, we empower individuals to live life on their own terms, with as much independence as they choose.

Featherbed Live-In Care in Poole offers an excellent alternative to residential care, both in quality and cost.

Our live-in care services start from £902 per week, while residential care facilities typically start at £1,100 per week.
For couples wishing to remain at home together with the support of a live-in carer, the cost is significantly lower than two separate residential care fees.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had no idea that my Mum had only two weeks to live when Featherbed came to the rescue!  They provided us with the most wonderful carer, Lucy, who stayed with Mum for long periods of time and gave amazing support to us as family.  She went way "above and beyond" and became a loved member of the family.  I can thoroughly recommend Featherbed - they are a super team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided live-in care for my mother for about 15 months before she needed to go into a nursing home. The one problem we had was addressed quickly and effectively, and with that one exception, the carers Featherbed provided were superb - very caring and helpful, totally honest and understanding. They all developed a really good bond with my mother, who also valued their care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been absolutely delighted with the kindness, professionalism and care shown towards our dad by his carer, Tendei Sithole, (and indeed by Immaculata and Emma-his relief carers who have also been excellent) Tendei has made it possible for him to enjoy his life again and if we could give her 6 stars we would. She has been simply a godsend.

Wonderful carers who have so much time, compassion, friendship and patience for my Mum. Featherbed is a company who never lets us down, and are always on hand. We'd be lost without you, thanks for all you do. X

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided waking nights care for my 99 year old father during the last few weeks of his life, which were very challenging. His carer, Julia, was fantastic and I can honestly say that we couldn't have coped without her. This wonderful care allowed my father to be able to stay in his own home which had always been his wish. Thank you so much Julia and Featherbed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed have been absolutely amazing. They provided 24 hour care for my mom who is in her 90's for over a year in her own home. The care and efficiency was second to none. They were always there with advice and always there to listen. I think you'd be hard pushed to find an Agency as remarkable as Featherbed. Thanks to all the staff at Featherbed and Carers who 'Cared' for my mom. 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed Homecare allowed my 90yr old  parents to live together in their home for over 2yrs. Splitting them up after 60yrs of happy marriage would have been unthinkable.  Despite initial reservations my parents quickly accepted live in care and much enjoyed having company in the house. Much credit is due to the carers who were all lovely and very caring . I have no hesitation in recommending Featherbed
