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.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

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.

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.
