24-hour live-in care at home in Stanmore
Live-in care means a Care Professional comes to live in your relative's Stanmore home, so help is in the house rather than on its way. Your relative keeps their own room, their own kitchen and the neighbours they know.
Our London office at Highview House in Edgware is only a few miles away and arranges every Stanmore placement. Each carer passes enhanced DBS, right-to-work and reference checks and completes training first. For families in Belmont, Canons Park or Little Stanmore, a consultant is on hand around the clock.
What live-in care in Stanmore includes
Will there be someone in the house overnight? Yes: the carer lives there, so a call for help at night is answered by a familiar person. Where some of the care is clinical, live-in support can sit alongside nursing visits arranged separately.

Overnight support and couples in Stanmore
A carer who lives in still needs a few hours to themselves each day and a full night's sleep. If your relative often needs someone after midnight, tell us at the assessment and we will talk about night support.
Couples can often be cared for together by one Care Professional, which keeps them in the home they share. We assess each partner separately. Our article live-in care or a care home? lays out the comparison.
Hills, houses and space for a carer
Stanmore Hill rises to about 152 metres, one of the highest points in London, so some roads are steep for anyone unsteady on their feet. Housing ranges from Gordon Avenue, laid out near the old Stanmore Village station, to the estate built on the former RAF Stanmore Park.
A carer needs their own bedroom, and we also look at stairs, bathrooms and where a grab rail or hoist would help.
Harrow Council and carer support
Stanmore is in the London Borough of Harrow. You can ask Harrow Council's adult social care service for a free care needs assessment for your relative. Its pages also let an unpaid carer complete a carer's assessment or look for support.
The council suggests unpaid carers register with Harrow Carers, an independent local charity, and tell their GP they are a carer. Both steps can open up help you might not know about.
RNOH, Northwick Park and coming home
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital is on Brockley Hill in Stanmore (HA7 4LP), a specialist hospital whose services include joint reconstruction and spinal surgery. Northwick Park Hospital, on Watford Road (HA1 3UJ), is run by London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. In either case, tell the ward early that you are arranging live-in care.
If your relative's needs are mainly health needs, ask the team about NHS Continuing Healthcare.
