Home Care in London

Whether looking for care at home for elderly parents, live-in care, or hourly care in London, cost is often one of the first questions families ask. The price of home care will usually depend on the level of support required, from a few hours a week to full-time live-in care, as well as where you are based. Hourly care in the UK typically ranges from £26–£32, while live-in care can cost between £900–£1,400 per week.

On Curam, families often pay less, with average hourly rates from £18-£25, with live-in care ranging from £900-£1,300, meaning clients can save up to 30%. Curam carers have the freedom to set their own rates, and some are happy to negotiate their rates if you have a particular budget in mind. Curam carers also keep 85% of their earnings, so carers get paid more, while those in need of care pay less. More importantly, you’re in control-choose a carer who’s right for your family, agree on rates directly, and arrange care that fits around your loved one’s life.

For many families searching for home care in London, the need can arise suddenly. Whether you’re exploring care at home for the first time or comparing options, home care can be a flexible and practical solution in a wide range of situations.

Home care is commonly needed when a loved one is living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s, recovering after a stroke, or managing a long-term condition such as Parkinson’s or mobility issues. It’s also a practical option following a hospital discharge, where short-term support can help with recovery at home. Many families also turn to home care as parents begin ageing and need extra support, whether that’s help with daily routines, medication, or companionship. From emergency same-day care to ongoing support like overnight care, respite care, or live-in care in London, home care allows individuals to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving the help they need.
