What Does Live-In Care Include?
Personal Care
Live-in care covers bathing, dressing, grooming, continence care, and all aspects of daily personal hygiene, delivered with dignity and respect for the individual's routine.
Housekeeping
A live-in carer manages light domestic tasks, including cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping, keeping the home safe, clean, and comfortable for the individual.
Social Engagement
Our care services also include regular conversation, companionship, and support with hobbies, activities, and social visits, reducing isolation and maintaining emotional well-being at home.
Mobility Assistance
A live-in carer supports safe movement around the home, including transfers, positioning, use of mobility aids, and fall prevention for individuals with reduced physical function.
Transportation
Live-in care also includes escorting individuals to medical appointments, social activities, and local outings, ensuring they remain connected to their community and healthcare team.

Our Live-in care service is tailored to the individual's diagnosed condition, covering specialist support for dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, MND, spinal injury, and other complex health needs.

How Much Does Live-in Care Cost in Hillingdon?
Live-in care in Hillingdon costs between £1,200 and £1,600 per week, depending on the level of support, the complexity of care needs, and whether specialist condition-led care is required. Live-in care costs vary by region, with London and the South East typically carrying higher rates than the rest of the UK. Hillingdon sits within the London and South East band, which means rates here run higher than in counties such as Berkshire or Hertfordshire. The average cost of a care home in Hillingdon is £1,408 per week, rising to £1,531 per week for nursing and dementia care, meaning HTR Care's live-in care at £1,200 to £1,600 per week delivers one-to-one dedicated support at a cost that is comparable to, and in many cases lower than, residential placement in the borough.

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 is round-the-clock support delivered at home by a dedicated carer who lives in your home full-time. Live-in Care covers personal hygiene, mobility, meals, and companionship, with the carer following a routine built entirely around the individual rather than a fixed institutional schedule. Planned relief cover keeps support continuous when the primary carer takes a break.
Live-in care is becoming increasingly relevant across Hillingdon as the borough's older population grows. According to the Care Quality Commission's local authority assessment of Hillingdon, the proportion of adults over 65 is predicted to increase from 13.49% to 19.48% of the population by 2041. As this population grows, more families across Hillingdon are turning to live-in care to keep older relatives at home with consistent, full-time support rather than moving into residential care.
