Noble Live-In Care, the UK’s largest home care provider, has extended its 24-hour live-in services to York and North Yorkshire. The move aims to address local pressures on NHS hospitals caused by delayed discharges.
NHS England data indicates more than 1,300 patients daily across the North East and Yorkshire remain in hospital despite being medically fit, contributing to ambulance delays, cancelled operations, and staff capacity challenges. Noble Live-In Care’s round-the-clock service enables patients to return home safely while freeing hospital beds for urgent cases.
The provider positions live-in care as an alternative to residential homes, citing Care Quality Commission statistics showing nearly one in five care homes in England requires improvement or is failing. Services are tailored to individuals, offering consistent support without the risks associated with overcrowded or under-resourced care facilities.
Noble Live-In Care works alongside healthcare professionals, families, and community services. Its approach integrates home care into NHS assessment pathways and focuses on enabling older adults to remain at home while receiving personalised support.
