Round-the-clock, 24-hour live-in care in Bromley
A live-in carer lives with your relative in their own home in Bromley, giving one-to-one help through the day and being there at night. Your relative keeps their own bedroom and garden, and the day follows their rhythm. Our experience in care and staffing goes back to 2016, with CQC registration for personal care since 2019.
We do not run a shop on Bromley High Street. Care here is coordinated from our London office at Highview House, 167 Station Road, Edgware HA8 7JU. The Care Professionals we place in Sundridge or Park Langley have all completed enhanced DBS and right-to-work checks, references and training, and a consultant is on hand around the clock.
What live-in care in Bromley includes
By the time live-in care comes up, a good deal is usually in place already. There may be a GP who knows the history, a district nursing team and the community palliative team. Live-in care sits underneath all of it. Between those visits, overnight and through the hours when nobody is due, someone is in the house.
These arrangements rarely stand still. A few weeks of cover after an operation can become permanent, or step back down to something lighter, without starting again.

Our guide live-in care explained covers what to expect in the first month.
A big borough with very different homes
Bromley is the largest London borough by area, and most of it is Green Belt. Beckenham and Bromley town in the north are suburban. South of the A232 and A21 the land opens out into villages and countryside. A carer in Keston or Downe may need to drive, while one in Shortlands can walk to the shops.
In a period house, the stairs and a first-floor bathroom tend to be the issue. A bungalow is easier to adapt but may have no spare bedroom. We look at both on the home visit, because the carer needs a room of their own.
The Sunday walk through Church House Gardens or Norman Park can carry on. For a side-by-side view, read live-in care versus a care home.
Couples, sleep and night support
Two people can sometimes be supported by one live-in carer, so a couple in Bickley or Coney Hall need not be split up. The assessment decides whether one person can safely meet both sets of needs.
The carer will sleep in the house, which eases many overnight worries. But a live-in carer needs a full night's rest and a daily break. If your relative is up most nights needing help, raise it at the assessment so we can plan night support properly.
Princess Royal University Hospital and discharge
The Princess Royal University Hospital on Farnborough Common, run by King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, is the main hospital serving the borough. A discharge plan from the PRUH can be the point where families first look at live-in care. We can arrange a carer for the weeks after discharge, helping with medication and mobility.
Bromley Council and support for carers
The London Borough of Bromley assesses anyone who may need care and support. Its how to request a care assessment page has an initial information form, and you can apply for yourself or for someone you know.
The NHS guide to getting a needs assessment explains the stages. If your relative's needs are chiefly health needs, ask about NHS Continuing Healthcare.
If you look after a relative or friend over 18, you can ask the council for a carer's assessment too. Bromley Well supports unpaid adult carers with peer and professional support.

Sometimes. We assess both partners, then confirm whether one carer can safely support them in their home in Bickley, Widmore or Coney Hall. If the combined needs are too great, we will say so.
Yes. We can arrange live-in care for people discharged from the Princess Royal University Hospital on Farnborough Common. The carer helps with medication, mobility and the first weeks back at home.
