Live-in Care in Southwark, London

Live-in care at home in Southwark

Southwark brings together some of London's best-loved landmarks, including Borough Market, Tate Modern, and Shakespeare's Globe, all within a short walk of the river. It's a borough with a strong sense of history and community, and many residents want to remain close to the markets, riverside walks, and neighbours they've known for years. Live-in care in Southwark supports that wish by placing a dedicated, live-in carer in the home to provide continuous personal care, household support, and companionship. Instead of moving into a care home, residents can stay in familiar surroundings, still within reach of a coffee at Borough Market or an afternoon by the river, with a trusted carer on hand around the clock.

Southwark runs from the riverside at Borough and Bermondsey down to the leafy, family streets of Dulwich and Herne Hill. King's College Hospital at Denmark Hill and Guy's are both on the doorstep, and King's is a major centre for stroke, neurology and liver care - so many Southwark families come to us after a hospital stay, needing a carer to support recovery at home. In Dulwich and East Dulwich in particular, large Victorian and Edwardian houses usually have room for a carer's bedroom, making live-in care a natural alternative to a care home.

Live-in care starts from £1,100 per week. You can ask Southwark Council for a free care needs assessment, and it's worth checking Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare too.
