Home care in Mayfair's squares and mansion blocks
Mayfair is best known for its shops, hotels and offices, but a small, long-established community of residents still lives here, many of them older. Families searching for home care in Mayfair are supporting parents in portered mansion blocks around Grosvenor Square and Mount Street, in apartments on Park Lane and Curzon Street, in mews houses and in the village streets of Shepherd Market. Many have lived in the same flat for decades. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay there, with company and help day and night.
We also arrange care in Westminster, Knightsbridge, Pimlico, Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill.
NHS and private hospitals close by
NHS care for Mayfair residents is usually at St Mary's in Paddington, St Thomas' or University College Hospital, and many families also use the private hospitals and clinics of nearby Marylebone and Harley Street. A live-in carer in Mayfair can be ready for discharge from any of them, and work alongside private nurses or physiotherapists after an operation.
Westminster City Council care
Mayfair is in the City of Westminster, which runs adult social care and carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments. Most Mayfair families fund care privately, but a council assessment can still help with equipment, adaptations and support for family carers, and Attendance Allowance is available whatever your relative's income.
Green Park, Hyde Park and a quiet routine
For older residents, a good day in Mayfair might be a walk through Green Park or Hyde Park, a service at the Farm Street church or the Grosvenor Chapel, lunch at a favourite restaurant or a visit to the Royal Academy. A carer can make all of that possible, and keep an eye on health and medication along the way. Many families live abroad for part of the year; we agree how the carer keeps you updated. You choose your carer from matched profiles and a video call 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.
Can you arrange live-in care near Mayfair?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Mayfair and the towns and villages around it, including Knightsbridge, South Bank, Pimlico and Westminster. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
