Discreet home care in Knightsbridge and Belgravia
Knightsbridge is one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, a place of garden squares, mansion blocks and grand terraces between Hyde Park and the museums. Families searching for home care in Knightsbridge are supporting parents in apartments around Hans Place, Lowndes Square and Ennismore Gardens, in the Brompton streets towards South Kensington, in Belgravia's squares and mews, and in the mansion blocks around Sloane Street. Many are international families with homes in several countries. A carer who lives in provides continuity wherever the rest of the family happens to be.
We also arrange care in Kensington, Chelsea, Westminster, Mayfair, Pimlico and Notting Hill.
Chelsea and Westminster, and the private hospitals
NHS care is usually at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Mary's in Paddington, and many Knightsbridge families also use the private hospitals nearby in Chelsea, Kensington and Marylebone. A live-in carer in Knightsbridge can be ready for your relative's discharge from any of them, and can work alongside private nurses or physiotherapists.
Kensington and Chelsea, or Westminster
Knightsbridge straddles two boroughs. Most of it is in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, while parts, including much of Belgravia, are in the City of Westminster. Most families here fund care privately, but a council assessment can still help with equipment, adaptations and support for family carers. Attendance Allowance is available whatever your relative's income.
Working alongside household staff
Many Knightsbridge homes already have housekeepers, drivers or security staff. A live-in carer works alongside them, focused on your relative's personal care, company and daily routine, and respects the family's privacy completely. Tell us about language, faith and diet when we match. The carer can help your relative enjoy Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, the museums and church. You choose from matched profiles 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.
Our carers
The people who would be caring for your family
Our carers are spread across the UK, supported by regional care managers. Every one is interviewed in person, enhanced DBS checked and reference-checked before they are ever introduced to a family — and you choose who moves in.
- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified
- You meet and approve your carer before they start

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.
Can you arrange live-in care near Knightsbridge?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Knightsbridge and the towns and villages around it, including Chelsea, Mayfair, Kensington and Pimlico. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
