Live-in Care in Hounslow

Hounslow • West London

Round-the-clock, 24-hour live-in care in Hounslow

Your relative stays in their own home in Hounslow, and a dedicated Care Professional lives with them, providing support around the clock. For families from Feltham to Chiswick, it is the main alternative to a care home, keeping one-to-one attention and the surroundings they know. We have been in care and staffing since 2016, with CQC registration for personal care since 2019.

We have offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and no high-street branch on Hounslow High Street. Hounslow placements are run from Highview House, 167 Station Road, Edgware HA8 7JU, which manages our carers across West London and the old county of Middlesex. The Care Professionals we place in Isleworth, Chiswick or Feltham have all completed enhanced DBS and right-to-work checks, references and training first, and a consultant is on hand around the clock.

What live-in care in Hounslow includes

Care arrangements tend to be built around the situation as it stood six months earlier. Two visits a day made sense while your relative wanted a hand getting up and getting to bed; it stops making sense once the nights become unsettled, or once a discharge from West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth leaves someone needing far more attention than a short call allows. Live-in care is more often what replaces a plan that has been outgrown than what starts one, and because a single Care Professional is in the house, the support can keep pace with a change instead of being renegotiated after every one. Arranged at home in Hounslow, in Isleworth, Heston or Hounslow Heath, it also means your relative keeps the run of their own house and the say over how a day goes.

Staying in Hounslow

Leaving a long-time home in Isleworth, Osterley or Chiswick is a hard decision, and often not the only option. At home your relative keeps their own room, garden and GP, and stays near friends. A coffee near the Treaty Centre or a walk in Osterley Park can carry on. Two people can be supported under one live-in arrangement, so a couple or two siblings can stay together. Families from Isleworth to Feltham can compare the two in our care home comparison.

Hounslow Council and support for carers

The London Borough of Hounslow runs adult social care and publishes a guide to care and support for adults. Hounslow's assessment follows national rules, and the NHS explains how a needs assessment works. If you look after a relative, you can request a carer's assessment by starting the council's enquiry form and saying you are an unpaid carer.

Afterwards, the council may offer a carer's emergency card, its Short Breaks service or direct payments, and its Carers Service gives information and advice. A Hounslow resident with mainly health-related needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Live-in care across the TW postcodes costs more with dementia or nurse-led care; see paying for care and live-in care costs.

After West Middlesex University Hospital

West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth is run by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and serves families across the borough. Ask the ward early about the discharge plan. A live-in carer can then help with medication and mobility, and keep family and community teams informed.

Victorian terraces, bungalows and a spare room

Homes range from Victorian terraces near Chiswick High Road to bungalows in Feltham. On the first call we ask whether the Hounslow home has a spare room for the carer. Then we think about stairs, the bathroom and getting in and out of the house.

Breaks and nights

Each live-in carer in Hounslow takes a break during the day and needs proper sleep at night. If your relative needs help through the night, let us know at the assessment. We will talk through night support with you.

Care homes and NHS teams in Hounslow, Brentford and Chiswick also book NMC-registered nurses from our REC-affiliated staffing agency; see staffing services.
