Cancer affects people in many different ways, which is why thoughtful, personalised support matters. We recognise that treatment schedules, energy levels and day-to-day wellbeing can change quickly, so our Care Professionals adapt their approach to suit how someone is feeling at each visit.
Support may include help with personal care, preparing meals that align with nutritional needs, medication reminders, and guidance to make the home feel more comfortable during treatment. We also understand the importance of rest and routines, taking care to ensure visits never feel rushed or overwhelming. Each care plan is shaped around individual preferences and any medical advice given to the client.
Care Professionals receive specialist cancer care training and bring patience, professionalism and reassurance to their work. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Home Instead offers families confidence that their loved one’s support is safe, consistent and delivered by people who genuinely care about their comfort and recovery.
Our cancer care is available throughout London, reaching households in Westminster, Hammersmith, Greenwich, Richmond and neighbouring boroughs.

Our approach to cancer care in London is centred on communication, predictable routines and support that helps reduce stress at home. Many clients appreciate seeing familiar Care Professionals who understand how treatment, fatigue or changes in wellbeing can affect each day.
Our Care Professionals are trained in techniques that help them respond sensitively to fluctuating energy levels, symptoms and emotional ups and downs. They use their specialist knowledge, practical reassurance and gentle encouragement so that each visit feels manageable and supportive. Consistency matters, which is why we prioritise continuity of care whenever possible.
Across London’s boroughs, we help people stay connected to the activities and interests that matter to them, whether that’s a short walk outside, listening to music, or simply having an unhurried conversation. Our goal is to provide steady, compassionate support that brings comfort and confidence throughout treatment and recovery.
Cancer affects the whole family, and we recognise how important reliable support can be during treatment and recovery. Relatives value clear communication, practical guidance and the reassurance of knowing their loved one is being cared for by trusted Care Professionals who understand their needs and preferences.
We take time to learn what matters most to each household, offering thoughtful advice on managing fatigue, preparing the home for treatment days and creating routines that bring calm and predictability. As circumstances evolve, we review the care plan alongside families, ensuring everyone feels informed, involved and supported at every stage.
Our London office teams are always available to answer questions, make adjustments and provide steady reassurance when things feel uncertain. By offering dependable, compassionate care at home, we help families maintain balance, protect meaningful time together and feel more confident while managing the physical and emotional demands that come with a cancer diagnosis.
