Hammersmith is one of West London's busiest commercial and transport hubs, sitting on the north bank of the River Thames with strong links to central London and Heathrow. Hammersmith Bridge, a Grade II* listed suspension bridge built in 1887, and the Eventim Apollo, a live entertainment venue running since 1932, sit alongside one of London's most significant Polish communities, giving the area both heritage and cultural depth. Live-in care in Hammersmith provides round-the-clock support at home across the district, from quieter riverside streets to the residential pockets near King Street and Hammersmith Broadway.

What Families Say About Us
Real stories from the people who matter most; the families we serve every day
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hammersmith

Live-in care places a dedicated, fully trained carer inside the home 24 hours a day, providing continuous personal care, medication management, mobility support, and companionship without requiring a move into a residential setting.

How Much Does Live-in Care Cost in Hammersmith?>

Does Live-in Care Work for People With Dementia in Hammersmith?>
Live-in dementia care in Hammersmith is one of the most effective ways to support a person living with dementia, as remaining in a familiar home environment directly reduces disorientation and anxiety.
