This rating underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality, person-centred care that focuses on your comfort and security. We believe in offering both effective and compassionate support, and our CQC recognition confirms that we consistently meet these standards.
Choosing a care provider is a significant decision. With our CQC-accredited service, you can feel confident that we provide professional care rooted in empathy and respect.

The Cost of Live-In Care for Couples in Westminster
Live-in care for couples is increasingly popular for those who need longer-term assistance but wish to avoid the disruption of a care home. At Independent People Homecare, we understand how essential it is for couples to remain together, even if each partner’s needs differ.
In a care home, couples may be placed in separate areas, which can be distressing. With live-in care in Westminster, a single, inclusive weekly fee covers care at one address, plus a nominal additional charge for the second person. In contrast, a care home would typically charge two separate fees, making it less cost-effective overall.
If you need guidance on funding care, we recommend contacting SOLLA (Society of Later Life Advisers), where you can learn more about financial options that suit your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Live-In Care in Westminster
1. What distinguishes live-in care from care home services?
Live-in care ensures constant, one-to-one assistance in the familiar environment of your own home, allowing you to maintain routines and independence. Care homes offer communal living, but often at the cost of personal space and round-the-clock individual attention.
2. How quickly can live-in care be arranged in Westminster?
Our team aims to set up care as swiftly as possible—sometimes within just a few days. We understand the importance of urgency, particularly when hospital discharge or sudden changes in health prompt immediate support needs.
3. Can a live-in carer help with medical appointments and errands?
Absolutely. Live-in carers can assist with scheduling and attending medical appointments, collecting prescriptions, and running errands, ensuring you stay on top of healthcare routines and daily necessities.
4. Is live-in care suitable for individuals with dementia?
Yes. We have carers who specialise in dementia care and understand the importance of maintaining familiarity, structure, and compassionate support for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
5. What makes live-in care a better option for couples?
Live-in care helps couples stay together in their own home, sharing a single care plan that addresses each partner’s unique needs. This setup often proves more cost-effective and less disruptive than two separate care home placements.
