Home care below the hill
Primrose Hill is a small, quiet village of pastel-painted terraces and Victorian villas beside Regent's Park, named after the grassy hill with one of the best views over London. Families searching for home care in Primrose Hill are supporting parents along Regent's Park Road and around Chalcot Square, on Gloucester Avenue and the streets by the canal, in the villas of Elsworthy Road, around Chalk Farm, and on the edge of St John's Wood. Many older residents live in tall houses with several flights of stairs. A carer who lives in helps them stay in the home they love.
We also arrange care in Camden, Hampstead, Highgate, Westminster, Mayfair and Kensington.
The Royal Free and University College Hospital
Primrose Hill residents are usually treated at the Royal Free in Hampstead or University College Hospital on Euston Road, and many families here use private hospitals too. A live-in carer in Primrose Hill arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit, to someone ready to help with medication, meals and getting about.
Camden, or Westminster at the edges
Primrose Hill is in Camden, whose council provides adult social care, carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and may contribute to care depending on savings. The streets west of Avenue Road and in St John's Wood are in Westminster, so check which council covers your relative's address. Most families here pay privately, but an assessment is still worth having.
The view, the canal and Regent's Park
The view from the top of the hill, a slow walk along the Regent's Canal, the gardens of Regent's Park and the cafés and bookshop of Regent's Park Road are favourite outings. Many older residents here are writers, actors, musicians and doctors who have lived in the village for decades, and many have children abroad. A carer can help your relative keep getting to concerts, the theatre or friends. You choose your carer 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.

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 Primrose Hill?
Yes. Carers move into the home rather than travelling from a local branch, so we cover Primrose Hill and the towns and villages around it, including Camden, Mayfair, Highgate and Highbury and Islington. Rural addresses are covered too, at the same weekly price.
