Live-in nurse
A qualified nurse lives in your relative's home and provides continuous nursing care: medication, wound care and monitoring, day and night.
Who it's for
- Recovery after surgery or a hospital stay
- A long-term condition that needs nursing every day
- A relative who can no longer be left alone safely
What happens
- You describe the care needed and how long for.
- A verified nurse is matched, and you agree the arrangement before paying.
- The nurse records the care given, and you follow it in your account.
What the quote depends on
- How much nursing care is needed
- How long the arrangement lasts
- Where your relative lives
You request the service first. Once a provider is matched, you see their price, or a fee they've quoted, and nothing is charged until you accept it and pay.
How payment works
- Your payment is held by Welbridg, not passed to the provider, until you confirm the visit happened or 24 hours after the provider marks it delivered.
- If something goes wrong, report it within those 24 hours and the payment stays on hold while Welbridg reviews it. Welbridg can release it, refund it or split it.
- Cancel before a visit is scheduled, or more than 24 hours before it, for a full refund. Cancel later than that and 20% of that visit's price goes to the provider. If the provider cancels, you get a full refund.
Questions families ask
- What is the difference between a live-in nurse and a caregiver?
- A nurse is a qualified health professional who can give medication, dress wounds and monitor a medical condition. A caregiver helps with daily living, such as washing, dressing and meals, and does not provide nursing care.
- How much does it cost?
- Prices depend on the provider, where your relative lives and what they need, so Welbridg doesn't list fixed prices. You request the service first. Once a provider is matched, you see their price, or a fee they've quoted, and nothing is charged until you accept it and pay.
- Who are the providers?
- Only providers Welbridg has verified can see and take a family's request. To be verified, a provider uploads a government-issued ID and a professional licence or certificate (an organisation uploads its CAC certificate and operating licence), and Welbridg's team reviews them.
- When does the provider get paid?
- Your payment is held by Welbridg, not passed to the provider, until you confirm the visit happened or 24 hours after the provider marks it delivered. If something goes wrong, report it within those 24 hours and the payment stays on hold while Welbridg reviews it. Welbridg can release it, refund it or split it.
- What if I need to cancel?
- Cancel before a visit is scheduled, or more than 24 hours before it, for a full refund. Cancel later than that and 20% of that visit's price goes to the provider. If the provider cancels, you get a full refund.
