Home care in Chiswick and west London
Chiswick has a strong sense of community, and many older residents have lived here for decades, in the terraces around Turnham Green and Chiswick High Road, the riverside streets of Strand-on-the-Green and Grove Park, or the Victorian houses of Bedford Park. Families searching for home care in Chiswick often want to keep a parent in exactly that setting, close to the river, the high street shops and neighbours they know, rather than moving them into a care home elsewhere in London.
We also arrange live-in care in nearby Hammersmith, Ealing, Acton, Brentford, Kew, Richmond and Fulham.
West Middlesex, Charing Cross and discharge
Hospital care for Chiswick residents is often at West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth, part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, or at Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith. If your relative is ready to leave hospital but waiting for a care package, arranging a live-in carer in Chiswick can help them come home sooner, with support from the first night.
Hounslow Council and paying for care
Chiswick is part of the London Borough of Hounslow, which runs adult social care and carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments; addresses just over the boundary in Bedford Park may fall under Ealing. Many families here pay for care privately. Live-in care is one fixed weekly fee from £1,200, which often compares well with London care home fees for one person and is usually far lower for a couple.
Staying part of Chiswick life
A live-in carer helps with personal care, meals and medication, but just as importantly helps your relative keep doing what they enjoy: a walk along the river, coffee on the high street, a visit to the library or church. You choose the carer before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in England
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's adult social care team. Means-tested local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare are both available depending on assessed need.
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.

Often, yes. Your local council's adult social care team can carry out a free needs assessment and, depending on savings, may contribute to the cost. Where needs are mainly health-related, NHS Continuing Healthcare can pay in full. Attendance Allowance, paid to people over State Pension age who need help with personal care, is not means-tested and can be put towards care.
Do you cover areas near Chiswick?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Chiswick and the towns and villages around it, including Barnes, Hammersmith, Kew and Shepherds Bush. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
