WHAT SETS US APART
Our Difference.
Live-in care is very different from arranging a few hours of home care each day. It requires the right person, prepared to live in the client’s home and become familiar with their routines, preferences and way of life. That’s why we focus exclusively on it.
We deliberately keep our service personal and focused, rather than operating as a large general home-care organisation. We understand a sustainable live-in care arrangement may involve more than one carer over time — holidays, rest periods, illness and other circumstances can mean families need additional carers. Our ongoing service keeps families connected to our network and, when requested, helps them identify who’s available.
Our aim is simple: to make finding and maintaining a suitable live-in care arrangement as straightforward as possible.

A More Personal Approach
We believe families should have a clear understanding of who’s involved in their loved one’s care and how the arrangement works.
Circadian remains available to provide information about suitable carers and their availability, while the family retains control of its relationship with the carer it engages.
It’s live-in care, focused on the individual — in the place they know best: home.
