Is it ever financially feasible to have them live with you and pay for a live in carer to help?

Just pondering our future plans for elderly parents. I have plenty room in the house so could provide a room for a live in carer and also a downstairs room for elderly parents with downstairs bathroom/wetroom.

does anyone know what the costs are for full time live in carer?

at the moment I have df with deteriorating mobility but good memory and dm with deteriorating memory but good mobility. Both would be so resistant to residential care

I have seen several friends dealing with elderly parents with various health issues and who needed care.
I have seen friends living with parents and doing all the care. It both physically and mentally exhausting. The reality is that people are living longer and some people make no plans for if or when they possibly could need care.

My advice is that you don't let your parents move in with you and think that caring will be easy. It's not. You will end up both physically and mentally exhausted. You will never get free time or a break away from them and there needs. Then you will have to get careers in. It can be hard to find good career and it can be expensive as well.
If one of your parents has altizmers, dementia ect they will become like adult sized toddlers and the reality is that you won't be able to provide the care they need long term. Then someone who is physically frail could need 2 people to move them or a hoist in time so they care needs are now higher than an individual carer can manage.

I would look at getting a cleaner and a gardener into their present home if they need a bit of help now. Get poa for health and finances arranged also when they are still of sound mind to do this. Get there doctors details and ask them to let their doctor speak to you.
Get a wet room into the house also to make showing easier. They can also have a special chair to sit on in their as well.

If they are getting more physical frail ask for an assessment with an occupational therapist as they can suggest and get various things to make life easier for them like grab rails ect.

Some elderly parents can be in poor health for years either with physical and or with cognitive decline so you need to take this into consideration. Organise things early that enable them to stay in there own home until their needs are better met in a care setting.

Live in care worked out more expensive for our Dad than home care, and I'd really not recommend it. The nursing / care at the homes was so much better.
