Home Care in London & the South East

Costs vary depending on the level of support required. Visiting care is typically charged hourly, while live-in care is priced weekly. We can provide guidance based on your individual needs.

In many cases, care can be arranged quickly, particularly following a hospital discharge or urgent change in circumstances. Timing will depend on the level of support required, but our team will always aim to put care in place as efficiently as possible.

We provide care across Greater London and the surrounding Home Counties, supporting individuals in both central and residential locations.

In London, this includes areas such as:

• Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, and Camden
• Barnet, Enfield, Harrow and Hillingdon
• Richmond, Kingston and Wimbledon
• Croydon, Bromley and South London boroughs

Beyond London, we support individuals across the South of England, including:

• Surrey, including Guildford, Woking and Epsom
• Hertfordshire, including St Albans, Watford and Hertford
• Kent, including Sevenoaks, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells
• Essex and surrounding areas

Yes. Active Assistance specialise in supporting individuals whose needs go beyond standard home care, including those requiring ongoing clinical input, coordinated care packages, or specialist expertise.

This can include situations where care involves multiple elements - such as managing physical health needs alongside cognitive or behavioural changes, or supporting individuals whose needs are evolving following illness, injury or treatment.

Our role is to bring these elements together into a single, well-structured care plan - ensuring support is consistent, safe, and able to adapt over time. Where appropriate, we also work alongside other professionals involved in the individual’s care to maintain a joined-up approach.

Yes. Our services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England.

This means our care is regularly assessed against national standards for safety, quality and effectiveness. It also provides reassurance that our teams follow established clinical and governance frameworks when delivering care in the home.

For families, CQC regulation offers an additional level of confidence, particularly when arranging care in more complex or high-dependency situations.

Your first conversation doesn't need to be a commitment to care.

We will take time to understand your situation, answer any initial questions and discuss the support you may need. From there, we can arrange an assessment and recommend a care plan tailored to the individual.

For many families, that initial conversation provides valuable clarity and reassurance at a time when there can be a lot of uncertainty.

Funding arrangements vary depending on individual circumstances.

Care may be funded privately, through an insurance or personal injury settlement, or via NHS or local authority funding pathways. Our team can talk you through the options available and help you understand what may be appropriate in your situation.
