Get in touch Why Live-in Care may be right for you
Our approach to live-in care is all about fitting around you, not the other way around. Your Care Professional gets to know you: how you take your tea, your favourite meals, what helps you feel relaxed or confident. Support might include personal care, medication management, or specialist help for conditions like Parkinson’s or dementia. But it’s more than that – it’s shared lunches, laughter, and outings to familiar places like Wanstead Park or Leyton Market. It’s having someone there who understands what makes a good day for you and how to support it.

Cannot fault the care and consideration given to my mother. Home Instead (Stoke Newington, Leyton & Wanstead) are flexible, reliable, dependable, caring, concerned and an absolute godsend. Their care of my mum is brilliant and they often go above and beyond. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better service
Alison H - Daughter of Client
Home Instead has been excellent, staff and carers have met and surpassed our expectations. My uncle is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and lives on his own. It is very reassuring for us to know that a carer is going in each morning, administering my uncle’s medication and taking care of his various needs. Each carer has been kind, patient, reliable and shown genuine interest in my uncle. The manager whom I contacted was professional, knowledgeable and experienced.
Ann S - Client's niece
Home Instead have looked after my brother-in-law for around two years. The carers have been so kind and considerate towards him and cared for him with love and careful attention. I have got to know a number of them personally and they are all lovely. The managers have been very helpful to the family & they have helped us navigate the complexities of the care system – contacting the GP, the district nurse and other services. We are an articulate capable family but it’s been great having Home Instead on our side! We have really felt like we are in a team supporting him to live at home. They are scrupulous around the giving of medication and supporting him with dignity. We are sad that he is no longer able to live at home but very grateful to Home Instead for enabling him to do so for so long.
Lynne R (Relative of Client)
We had visualised the type of company culture and homecare support we wanted for mum- it only became a reality when we came across Home Instead.
1st class professional approach when responding to our initial enquiries. Management’s professional approach cascades down to the staff delivering the service. Management confident and open responding to our challenging questions, which provided reassurance. Worked to ensure we had a tailored package that meets our needs. The well-trained staff are value for money. ‘Goes the extra mile’ and treats mum with dignity.
Makes effort to engage Mum e.g. reading together from the Bible or biblical materials; watching TV together and discussing issues from it such as ‘who done it?’ detective shows
Tries to think of novel activities of engagement, e.g. puzzles, .. Mum describes her as a ‘good person’
Mum likes how she makes her bed. The added sweet touches from both the Owner and Care Manager bring a smile to mum’s face.
A beautiful blend of home help support and companionship.
Would definitely recommend to others.
Jay I - Client's daughter
The care that has been provided for my father over the last two years has been outstanding. The care professionals have all been extremely kind, compassionate and highly competent and have supported my father with every aspect of his care. The manager has also been brilliant and has gone above and beyond to support many aspects of my father’s complex care needs. Quite simply, Home Instead provide excellent care and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Tailored Live-in Care in Stoke Newington, Leyton & Wanstead
A typical day with live-in care starts with a calm, respectful morning routine, perhaps help with a shower, choosing clothes, and sitting down to breakfast. During the day, your Care Professional is on hand for medication reminders, preparing meals, light housekeeping, or joining you on errands and appointments. Evenings can include support getting settled, favourite TV shows, and a bedtime routine that suits you. That continuity, knowing the same friendly face is there throughout the day and night, creates not just safety, but deep reassurance for both clients and their families. Our clients rate us 10/10 for our home care on homecare.co.uk.

Our services include companionship care, personal care, specialist care (including dementia, palliative, and Parkinson’s), and live-in care.
Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What local support is available?
Ensuring reliable live-in care means having robust support ready to handle any changes or emergencies. It’s important to ask how a provider manages carers schedules, especially if adjustments are needed or if a carer is unavailable.
At Home Instead we maintain a comprehensive local team that coordinates alternative arrangements in situations such as if the Care Professional is ill, without disrupting care continuity – ensuring your loved one always receives the attention they need.
- Are your carers employed or are they self-employed?
There are broadly two types of live-in care providers: self-employed carers and professional care companies. Self-employed carers typically offer flexibility and may cost less, but they often lack regulation, comprehensive training, and insurance, which can impact the quality and reliability of care.
Professional care companies, like Home Instead, directly employ Care Professionals who are rigorously trained and fully background-checked and insured. These employees are covered under the company’s policies, including national insurance and payroll, ensuring a secure, and high-standard care environment.
- What qualifications do your carers have?
Training and qualifications are vital in ensuring live-in carers deliver high-quality care. It’s a good idea to ask about the providers training levels and certifications.
Home Instead’s Care Professionals receive comprehensive training in areas such as mobility support, dementia and Parkinson’s care, catheter management, and end of life support. Our commitment to ongoing professional development ensures they are well-prepared to provide compassionate and effective care across various scenarios.
- How do you match caregivers with clients?
Compatibility between a live-in carer and client can greatly influence the quality of care. It’s beneficial to enquire about the matching process and how a provider ensures that the caregiver’s personality and skills align with the client’s needs and preferences.
At Home Instead, we carefully, match clients with one or more Care Professionals based on shared interests and care requirements to foster a comfortable and supportive relationship.
- How does your service ensure care continuity during emergencies or caregiver changes?
Continuity of care is essential, especially in emergencies or when regular live-in carers are unavailable. Ask your care provider how they handle such situations.
Home Instead has protocols in place to ensure that care continues seamlessly, with trained Care Professionals ready to step on so that your loved one’s needs are always met without interruption.
- What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a trained, professional carer will live with you in your home in order to provide the care you need on a regular basis, and support your specific needs. This is often a preferable alternative to a care home or nursing home, and it allows older people to remain living in their own home alongside a constant companion who can assist with things like personal care, specialist medical care, cooking, housework, and more.
Discover More - How much does live-in care cost?
Every live-in care package is unique to the individual client, so the best way to gauge how much this will cost you is to get in touch to discuss your loved ones needs. As a rough guide to cost, live-in care through an agency often ranges from around £1,350 to £2,000 per week in the UK, depending on their needs and other factors mentioned in our guide on cost linked below.
Discover More - How many hours does the Care Professional work?
Live-in care is not the same as 24-hour care. A Care Professional will typically work an 8 to 10 hour day. Those hours will be discussed in your initial assessment and tailored to suit the needs of the person receiving care. A live-in Care Professional is of course on hand in case of emergencies, but it is not generally expected that they will provide ongoing night care. The Care Professional also needs to have breaks throughout the day, and other Care Professionals may visit the home if a wrap-around care service is offered, giving the main care provider their needed breaks without any interruption in support.
- What will a live-in Care Professional require?
A live-in Care Professional must have their own bedroom for personal space. It is also typically expected that the home has an internet connection. Arrangements for food will be discussed in your consultation, but the Care Professional typically receives a weekly food allowance to purchase food for themselves. Live-in Care Professionals may cook and eat with their clients, or they may decide to do this separately, depending on the dietary requirements and personal preferences of everyone involved.
- What are the benefits of live-in care at home?
Live-in care at home empowers the elderly to maintain their independence, dignity, and a sense of control over their lives, while still receiving dedicated, comprehensive support. By far the main benefit is that live-in care allows care recipients to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, which can significantly enhance emotional well-being and quality of life. This form of care is highly personalised, adapting to the specific needs and routines of the individual, ensuring tailored support for daily activities, medication management, mobility assistance, and more. The one-on-one nature of live-in care fosters a strong bond between the Care Professional and care recipient, providing companionship and reducing feelings of isolation. Staying at home eliminates the disruption and stress often associated with moving to a care facility, and even 24 hour live-in home care can also be considerably more cost-effective than residential care options, as it avoids facility fees which can often be extremely steep.
