Round-the-clock, 24-hour live-in care in Camden
Live-in care keeps your relative in their own Camden home, with a dedicated Care Professional living alongside them. Whether home is a Victorian terrace in Kentish Town, a mansion flat in Belsize Park or a house near Hampstead Heath, the support moves in with them.
We have no branch on Camden High Street. Our London office, Highview House in Edgware (HA8 7JU), is a short drive from the borough. Each Care Professional passes enhanced DBS and right-to-work checks, gives references and completes training before starting, and a consultant is on hand around the clock.
What live-in care in Camden includes
Usually one person is carrying most of it. The relative who lives nearest picks up the shopping, the medication and the calls from the GP, while others help from further away and worry in between. Live-in care changes who is on duty.
The family stops being the care plan. Visits become visits again, and phone calls go back to being conversations rather than checks.

Our guide live-in care explained covers who it suits and how it runs.
Flats, terraces and making room in Camden
Camden runs from the leafy streets around Hampstead Heath in the north to the busy, mixed districts of Camden Town and Kentish Town. In a flat, space can be tight. The carer needs a bedroom of their own, so the first question in a two-bedroom flat is whether the second room can be cleared.
Mansion blocks and converted houses can mean stairs to the front door, a small lift or none at all. We check access, where a wheelchair or walker will go, and whether a key safe is allowed.
A slow walk along the Regent's Canal towpath or to a familiar bench on Primrose Hill can carry on. Our guide to live-in care versus a care home compares the two side by side.
Couples, sleep and help at night
Two people can sometimes be supported by one live-in carer, so partners in Belsize Park or Dartmouth Park are not split apart. We assess each person first to be sure one carer is enough.
Overnight, the carer is in the house if something happens in the small hours. They still need a proper night's sleep and a break each day. If your relative needs help through most nights, mention it at the assessment so we can talk through night support.
Royal Free, UCH and coming home
Two large hospitals serve the borough. The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead is run by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. University College Hospital on Euston Road is part of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We can arrange live-in care for the first weeks after discharge, covering medication, mobility, meals and contact with district nurses.
Camden Council and carers in Camden

You are far from alone as a carer here. The council's Carers Action Plan notes that over 14,000 Camden residents identified as carers in the 2021 Census.
Camden Carers offers information, advice and support to unpaid adult carers who live, work or study in the borough, or care for someone who lives there.

Often, yes. We assess both partners and then confirm whether one carer can safely support both in their home. If the combined needs are more than one person can manage, we will tell you plainly.
For someone who wants to stay with their own GP, neighbours and routines, it often is. A care home can suit people who want company all day or need two carers at once. After the assessment we will give you an honest view.
Yes. We can arrange live-in care for people discharged from the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead or University College Hospital on Euston Road. The carer helps with medication, mobility and settling back in.
No. The carer lives in and sleeps in the home, and they take a daily break. If your relative needs help through the night on most nights, raise it at the assessment so we can plan night support.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates care at home in England. We are registered with it for personal care, under provider ID 1-6591402702. The CQC has not yet inspected the service, so there is no rating to show.
