Two ways to arrange live-in care
Planned respite
Cover booked in advance so a family carer can take a holiday, get some rest or see to other commitments, for a day, a week or longer.
Regular daytime visits
A carer calls to the home for a set number of hours to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and company, as often as you need through the week.
Ongoing overnight cover
A regular carer for your usual nights each week, awake and on hand through the night, with a familiar backup for nights off.
Flex
A carer lives in the home and provides your agreed active care hours through the day, plus the reassurance of a carer resting in the home overnight.
Short-notice respite
Cover at shorter notice when things change, such as illness, an emergency or a gap in your usual care. It depends on carer availability.
Full-day support
Longer cover, for half a day or a full day, with steady company and personal care for someone who needs more support through the day.
Occasional & post-hospital
One-off nights or a short run of cover, when the family needs rest or in the first weeks home after a hospital stay.
Constant
A small team of carers provides cover around the clock, so someone is awake and on hand day and night. It suits higher-dependency needs.

Live-in care across Monaghan
Knockatallon lies up on Slieve Beagh, with Scotstown and Tydavnet on the roads below it in north Monaghan, and Emyvale, Glaslough and Mullan sit towards the Tyrone border. In spread-out country like this, one carer living in can make more sense than a string of visits along narrow roads. UIH covers every part of the county, towns included. Before a start date is set, your care manager will look at the carer's bedroom and the practical set-up with you.
Setting up care after a hospital discharge in Monaghan
After a long admission to Cavan General Hospital, or a period of rehabilitation or step-down care at Monaghan Hospital, going home to an empty house can feel like a big step for someone who has been unwell for weeks. With a live-in carer, your loved one can have company and help from the first day back. The earlier we hear about a likely date, the easier it is to have a carer ready, and we work alongside the GP, public health nurse and hospital team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can respite cover last?
+
From a single day up to several weeks — whatever gives the family carer a proper break. Longer arrangements are straightforward to set up.
How much notice do you need?
+
The more notice you can give, the easier it is to match the right carer — but we do our best with short-notice requests too, subject to availability.
Can respite be daytime, overnight or live-in?
+
Yes — respite can be daytime visits, overnight cover, or a live-in carer for the period, depending on what your loved one needs.
Is there a setup or placement fee?
+
Yes. A one-time placement fee covers the work of assigning your carer and setting up the placement. Your care manager includes it in your quote, and a replacement carer never costs extra.
How short or long can a visit be?
+
From a short call of a couple of hours to full-day support — we build the visits around what your loved one needs, as often through the week as suits.
Will it be the same carer?
+
Yes — we assign a designated carer, with a familiar second carer for cover, so your loved one sees consistent faces.
Can you help after a hospital stay?
+
Yes — we often start daytime visits in the first weeks at home after a discharge, and can usually be in place within a few days.
Is there a setup or placement fee?
+
Yes. A one-time placement fee covers the work of assigning your carer and setting up the placement. Your care manager includes it in your quote, and a replacement carer never costs extra.
Does the carer stay awake all night?
+
Yes — our overnight carers provide a waking service: awake and on hand for whatever the night brings, resting only once your loved one is settled. It is never a sleep-through service.
Will it be the same carer each night?
+
Yes — we assign a designated overnight carer, with a familiar second carer for cover, so your loved one sees consistent faces.
Can we book occasional nights, or just after a hospital stay?
+
Absolutely. As well as ongoing weekly cover, we arrange one-off nights and short runs of overnight care — including the first weeks at home after a discharge.
Is there a setup or placement fee?
+
Yes. A one-time placement fee covers the work of assigning your carer and setting up the placement. Your care manager includes it in your quote, and a replacement carer never costs extra.
Is there a setup or placement fee?
+

Can I decide which days and hours the carer works?
+
Yes, you can specify the days and hours in accordance with your package. The number of days is flexible; a 24/7 package means a carer is available every day of the week.
Will I have the same carer consistently?
+
Yes. You will have a designated primary carer, available except when on leave, on holiday, or unwell — when a reliable secondary carer familiar to the family and client steps in.
Does the carer have to live in the home full time?
+
No. Our carers have their own homes and may return to them when they are off duty.
