Home care in London
Home care in London supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
Our live-in care in London offers personalised support, carefully tailored around each person's needs, routines and preferences. A Care Professional lives in the home, helping with everyday tasks such as preparing nutritious meals, supporting with personal care, medication reminders, light housekeeping and companionship. They can also help with the practical side of running a household, from keeping on top of the laundry to helping ensure letters are opened.
Because care is provided one-to-one, support fits around the person rather than a fixed timetable. That might mean help getting on the tube to visit a GP appointment, company on a walk to the local park or the shops, or simply a cup of tea and conversation at home.
The support we provide can adapt over time as needs change, which gives families reassurance without anyone having to rearrange everything each time.
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.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Quality live-in care depends on the relationship, and that is why we take real care over who moves into someone's home. We thoughtfully choose a Care Professional for the person rather than for the rota, considering skills and experience first, particularly where there is a specific medical condition, but weighing personality, interests and temperament very closely behind.
From there it is a matter of getting to know someone properly: the life they have led, the habits they keep, how they take their tea, which markets they like to visit, and what they still like to do for themselves. A small, consistent team means the same familiar faces rather than a stranger every fortnight, so nobody is explaining how the shower works for the fifth time.
That continuity is also how we notice when something is not quite right. You only see that someone is a little off form when you already know what themselves looks like, and we adapt the care we provide as needs change.
Our Home Care Services
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
