Discover a flexible, fully personalised approach to home care. Contact us today, and learn how hourly care can support your loved one in London.
Whether your loved one requires extra support with personal care, a helping hand during mealtimes, or a friendly face over a cup of tea, we’re proud to provide hourly care across London.
With our expert care team, we’re here to provide the quality care at home that we’re known for, in a domiciliary care format, popping in for a visit for as little as one hour per day.
For over fifteen years, we’ve supported hundreds of families across England and Scotland – ensuring their loved ones can live well at home, with independence and dignity.
With a dedicated care manager, they’ll receive a detailed care plan based on their preferences, health needs and lifestyle. So you can rest assured that your loved one is receiving the very best care, built around them.

Our hourly care service is completely flexible, so you can choose the level of support that feels right for you. Whether that’s a few visits per week, or more frequent check-ins throughout the day.
If your loved one requires more complex care, we can also provide round-the-clock care options, like 24-hour care, or live-in care. We also offer respite care at home, for times when you need to rest and recharge.
Our regional hourly care managers have extensive experience in the industry, and work closely with our care managers to ensure your loved ones receive the highest quality of care.
With award-winning hourly care, your loved one can continue to live independently in the place they love most, while still receiving regular, flexible visits.
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
Hourly care is designed for people who may be starting to find daily life a little more challenging, but who want to remain living independently at home.
With daily check ins, or visits throughout the day, your loved one can feel confident that they’ll have support when they need it. And you’ll find peace of mind, knowing your loved one will receive award-winning care, in a way that aligns with their needs and wishes.
Our specialist care services are guided by in-house experts, a Consultant Admiral Nurse and a Clinical Lead, who specialise in dementia and complex care.
If your loved one is already receiving live-in care and needs some extra support, we can step in to help with additional hourly care.
Whether your loved one has more complex needs, requires two carers at certain times of the day, or would like extra assistance during carer breaks, we’ll work with you to ensure you always have the right level of care for your needs.
The cost of hourly care depends on how often our carers visit, how long they stay, and the level of support you need. During your consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your situation and discuss what kind of care will work best for you.
Once we’ve talked everything through, we’ll provide a clear, accurate cost so you know exactly what to expect. This way, you can plan and arrange your care with confidence and peace of mind.
