What is Live-in Care?
Live-in care provides round-the-clock support for an individual at home, delivered by a dedicated carer who lives in the property full-time. Live-in care covers personal care, medication management, mobility assistance, meal preparation, and companionship, all built around the individual's own routine rather than a fixed institutional schedule. A live-in carer works structured hours with planned rest periods, and relief cover is arranged when the primary carer takes a break.
Live-in care suits individuals who need consistent supervision throughout the day and night, including those living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or managing a progressive condition such as Parkinson's disease or MND. Around 11% of Hammersmith and Fulham's population is aged over 65, according to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and an estimated 1,199 residents aged 65+ live with dementia (though only 770 were recorded in July 2021 per the H&F Safeguarding Adults Board); this is forecast to rise to more than 1,900 by 2030, according to the Hammersmith & Fulham Dementia Action Alliance, making consistent full-time home support increasingly relevant for families across Hammersmith.
