How much does live-in care cost in Kensington?

Live-in care arranged through CareNow Live-In starts from £1,295 per week. The exact cost depends on the level of care required and the carer's experience. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no long-term contracts. For couples, a single carer can often support both partners for one weekly fee — making live-in care more affordable than two residential care placements.

Is CareNow Live-In a care agency?

No. CareNow Live-In is an introduction and administrative platform. We introduce families to independent, self-employed carers who provide care in your loved one's home. We do not directly employ carers or provide care services. This model gives families access to experienced carers while keeping costs transparent and flexible.

What does a live-in carer do?

A live-in carer moves into your loved one's home and provides dedicated, one-to-one support throughout the day and night. This typically includes help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, light housekeeping, and assistance with mobility. The carer's routine is tailored entirely to your loved one's needs and preferences.

Can I arrange live-in care for a couple in Kensington?

Yes. Live-in care is an excellent option for couples, particularly when one or both partners have care needs. A single carer can support both people under one roof, which is often more practical and significantly more affordable than two separate care arrangements. Many couples in Kensington choose live-in care to stay together at home.

Who is live-in care for?

Live-in care is suitable for a wide range of people and circumstances. It is ideal for elderly individuals who want to remain in their own home but need daily assistance with personal care, mobility, meals, and medication. Couples benefit too — a live-in carer can support both partners under one roof, which is often more practical and affordable than two separate care arrangements. Live-in care is also appropriate for people with complex or specialist needs, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, or palliative care, where continuity and familiarity are especially important.

Your loved one stays in their own home, surrounded by familiar belongings and memories
Continuity of care — the same dedicated carer, not a rotation of unfamiliar faces

Flexible arrangements with no long-term contracts or hidden commitments
