Home care in Pinner village and around
Pinner has kept much of its village character, with its timber-framed High Street, the parish church and quiet residential roads that spread out towards Pinner Hill, Pinnerwood, Pinner Green, Hatch End, Headstone and Rayners Lane. Many older residents have lived in the same house since the 1960s or earlier. Families looking for home care in Pinner usually want a parent to go on living in that familiar place. A live-in carer makes it possible, with help through the day and someone in the house at night.
We also arrange care in Eastcote, Northwood, Ruislip, Harrow and Stanmore.
Northwick Park and Mount Vernon
Most emergency and inpatient care for Pinner is at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, while Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood provides specialist cancer treatment for a wide area. If your relative is coming home after a stay or during a course of treatment, a live-in carer in Pinner can look after the house, the meals and the appointments, so your relative can concentrate on getting better.
Harrow Council, or Hillingdon for some addresses
Most of Pinner is in the London Borough of Harrow, which runs adult social care there. Some nearby areas, such as Eastcote and Northwood Hills, are in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Either council will carry out a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment. Many families here pay for care privately, and live-in care is a fixed weekly fee from £1,200.
Pinner Fair, the park and the High Street
Pinner has a strong community life, from the churches and the library to the Memorial Park, the Heath Robinson Museum and the historic Pinner Fair, held every year since the fourteenth century. A carer helps your relative keep taking part rather than drifting indoors. That matters for mood, memory and mobility, and it is often the reason families choose live-in care over a move.

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.
