Live-In Care in Kensington and Chelsea
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Kensington and Chelsea, from Kensal Green and North Kensington down to Earl’s Court, Brompton and World’s End, which together make up the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. A trained, DBS-checked carer takes up residence in your relative’s home, day and night, so the market stall, the chapel pew and the favourite chair all stay within reach. Because the carer lives under the same roof, the home and the person become well known to them, and a first conversation with us costs nothing.
If your relative is in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital and nearly ready to leave, let us know early. Chelsea and Westminster, at 369 Fulham Road, has 430 beds and an emergency department, and St Charles’ in Exmoor Street, North Kensington, is listed as a specialist hospital for care of the elderly. We will speak to the ward so that the carer, the routine and a warm home are waiting when the transport arrives.
Lifts fail and stairs steepen: Trellick Tower alone has 217 flats on 31 floors. Call us on 0208 129 5854 to talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Kensington and Chelsea: Market Stalls, Carnival Memories and Quiet Paths
Saturday is the big day on Portobello Road, when all five sections of the market are open along its length of 1.72 kilometres. The carer offers an arm along the stalls, finds a seat when one is needed and lets your relative choose the fruit. Anyone who remembers the first Notting Hill street party in August 1966, with a steel band and a crowd of children, will have plenty to say on the way home.
On a quieter day the walk might pass the Electric Cinema, a Grade II* listed building and one of Britain’s oldest cinemas, before tea at home with the story of the afternoon. If that is the week you would wish for your relative, ring us and we will book a free assessment.
Under every outing lies everyday support, and this is what a live-in carer offers your relative at home in Kensington and Chelsea.
A Steady Morning
Help to get up, wash and dress without hurry, then breakfast at the table. The carer is already in the home, so the morning does not depend on a visit that might be late.
Company Through the Afternoon
Resonate Arts sends a monthly Art at Home newsletter by post or email, and the carer can help your relative try an activity from it at the kitchen table. The same afternoon can end with a creative befriender’s phone call.
Medicines and Appointments
Tablets given on time and written down every day. For appointments at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital the carer goes along, listens to the advice and reports back to the family.
Meals Cooked to Their Taste
Food that suits their health and their habits, with fruit and vegetables bought from the stalls on Portobello Road.
Gentle Walks Among the Trees
Kensal Green Cemetery covers 72 acres and is on the Grade I register of historic parks and gardens. The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery organise guided tours, and a slow circuit among the old monuments is peaceful with a carer alongside.
Safe on Stairs and Lifts
Whether the home is up a staircase or in a tower block, the carer steadies every transfer, clears the clutter and lets the family know quickly if getting in and out is becoming harder.

Why Kensington and Chelsea Families Choose NeeryVille Care
Type live-in care in Kensington and Chelsea into a search engine and you meet national brands: the three pages we opened named no hospital, none gave the council’s adult social care number and none published a price. This page gives all three. Our carers are employed by us, one carer stays with your family and the daily rate is printed below. Here is what lies behind that in Kensington and Chelsea.
One carer, not a rota
A familiar face at breakfast makes the day feel safer. The carer gets to know the routines and the small preferences, so your relative is treated as a person, not a task.
Our same-carer approach is built on this, because constancy matters even more with dementia.
Leave within 14 days at no cost
If the arrangement is not right at any time in the first 14 days, you can stop it at once, with no notice and no fee.
This is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, which lets families try live-in care safely.
Employed by us
NeeryVille Care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Our carers are employed, trained and supervised by us, and are not self-employed workers passed to you. You can read our registration on the CQC website before you decide.
Led by clinicians
Each placement rests on a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinical leaders, so care stays steady for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery from a stroke.
At home within two days
Discharge plans can change within hours. If your relative is about to leave Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital, we will assess quickly and a suitable carer can usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Ring as early as you can and we will plan the first night together.
Overseen by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia training, and personally oversees each arrangement. When you call, you reach him or one of the care team.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?
Call us on
0208 129 5854.
We will listen to your situation, answer every question you have and give you the time you need to make the right decision.

Is a Live-In Carer the Right Step in Kensington and Chelsea?
Few families choose in a single day, and live-in care is worth considering when someone needs help round the clock but is set on staying in their own home.
Think of a man of eighty-three on a high floor of a council tower. The lift fails for a week, he stops going out, and then a fall sends him to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital. His daughter lives forty minutes away and does not know who will go shopping. It is better to act while there is still a choice.
Our first question is what an ordinary good day looks like for him in his own flat, and the plan is drawn up from his answer.
If you are the one who has run out of energy, our live-in respite care lets you rest while one trusted carer takes over.
Conditions Our Carers Support in the Royal Borough
Our live-in carers in Kensington and Chelsea support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in W8, W10, W11, SW3, SW5, SW7 and SW10 across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Two People, One Home: Couples in Kensington and Chelsea
Picture a couple who first danced at a Notting Hill Carnival in the 1960s and still live above a market street in W11. He now has Parkinson’s disease and she can barely see, so each depends on the other and neither can manage alone.
One live-in carer can look after both, helping him with moving about and guiding her around the rooms. Ask how a single plan can cover the two of them.

Why Kensington and Chelsea Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has spent most of their life in Kensington and Chelsea, live-in care lets them stay among the market stalls, the chapels and the faces they already know.
The borough came into being on 1 April 1965 when Chelsea and Kensington joined, and it is the smallest in London. Within it lie Kensal Green Cemetery, consecrated in 1833, Trellick Tower of 1972 and the Notting Hill street party of August 1966 that grew into the Carnival. Someone who has watched these places grow may prefer to see out their days beside them.
Instead of moving out, your relative keeps their own room, their own routine and their own pace. One carer lives in and picks up the habits, so the person who helps at bedtime is the one who makes breakfast. Two people in one flat can both be looked after by the same carer.
Stairs, lifts and long bus rides all become obstacles with age, and when Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital discharges someone, the carer can be waiting at the door. The same carer can help with the steps, the shopping and the walks.
To discuss what might suit your family, ring us on 0208 129 5854. We are glad to answer questions, with no obligation.
Live-In Care in Kensington and Chelsea: The Price in Black and White, £190 a Day
No guessing games: here is the figure.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Kensington and Chelsea starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
The exact figure is confirmed in writing after your free assessment and before you commit to anything.
What the Daily Rate Covers
Imagine a week from Kensal Green to World’s End: a slow walk among the monuments on Monday, a Saturday on Portobello Road, and on Sunday a lift to church, mosque or temple. One daily rate covers a carer who lives in and is there at all hours, help with washing and dressing, cooked meals, medication prompted and recorded, safe movement around the home, journeys to appointments, prescriptions collected and warm company.
When needs are greater, for example dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, we give a tailored price after meeting you. Tell us what is happening and we will advise.
Paying for Care at Home in Kensington and Chelsea
Begin with a phone call. The council can arrange a Needs Assessment, and if the main need is health related, NHS Continuing Healthcare may cover the cost of care. Neither should delay the carer.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea takes requests on 020 7361 3013, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with an out-of-hours number of 020 7373 2227. Its pages also point to the Carers Network, which offers Carers Assessments and advice by phone.
Age UK Kensington and Chelsea, at 1 Thorpe Close, W10 5XL, offers dementia advisers and weekly one-to-one dementia support workers to residents over 55 who live with dementia or memory difficulties. The Kensington and Chelsea Memory Service assesses and diagnoses dementia on referral from a GP.
There is no need to wait for paperwork before a carer arrives. The two can go ahead together.

Making a Start With Live-In Care in Kensington and Chelsea
Families often say they should have rung sooner. Here is how it goes once you do.
01
Call us first
Nothing has to be sorted out before you call.
Ring 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or a colleague on the care team will take the call.
Describe the situation in Kensington and Chelsea and we will talk it through, with no forms and no pressure.
The people who answer arrange live-in care every working day.
03
We learn who they are
We ask about the places that mattered to them: Trellick Tower on the Cheltenham Estate, designed by Ernő Goldfinger and opened on 28 June 1972; Kensal Green Cemetery, where Brunel, Wilkie Collins and Harold Pinter are buried; or Ladbroke Grove station, which opened in 1864. One place remembered can open an afternoon of talk.
All of it is written into the care plan. Call when you are ready.
We choose the right carer
We pair training with health needs and character with the person, so the household settles quickly.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee gives you time to see whether the match is working.
02
04
The carer arrives
Most placements begin within a day or two of the assessment, sooner still if a hospital discharge is close.
If your relative is in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital and waiting to go home, we will time the carer’s arrival with the discharge.
From the first call until the carer settles in, you have one contact.
Expect a carer in the home a day or two after your first call. If the ward has given a date, say so and we will plan around it.
Our Registered Care Manager carries out the free assessment in person and keeps in touch after the carer moves in. Live-in care is the only service we provide here, so nobody will hand your enquiry on to someone else.

Live-In Care in Kensington and Chelsea: Straight Answers to Family Questions
How much does live-in care in Kensington and Chelsea cost?
Live-in care from NeeryVille Care in Kensington and Chelsea is £190 per day, fully inclusive, with no extras. After the free assessment you are given the exact figure before agreeing to anything.
How quickly can live-in care start in Kensington and Chelsea?
Most families see a carer in the home within a day or two of the assessment, including when the call comes from a ward at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital. One phone call books the assessment.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. One regular carer in familiar rooms gives a person with dementia a settled routine and a face they know. The Kensington and Chelsea Memory Service assesses and diagnoses dementia on a GP referral, and Age UK Kensington and Chelsea runs memory cafés.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That is a decision for your family. At home your relative keeps their own room, routine and one carer, and a couple can stay together. We talk through everyday details, such as where the carer sleeps, before the start.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is sick or away, we arrange a cover carer so your relative always has someone in the home.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is a CQC registered provider, and our CQC provider page lists the registration.
Which areas of Kensington and Chelsea do you cover?
We cover the whole Royal Borough: Kensington (W8), Chelsea (SW3), South Kensington (SW7), Brompton (SW3), Earl's Court (SW5), West Brompton (SW10), Knightsbridge (SW1X), Notting Hill, Ladbroke Grove, North Kensington, Kensal Green and World’s End (W10, W11 and SW10).
Do you offer respite care in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes, we provide respite care. If you are the main carer for a parent in W11 or SW5 and need to rest, a live-in carer can take over at home for a few days or longer.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. We can have a carer ready in your relative’s home on the day they leave Chelsea and Westminster Hospital or St Charles’ Hospital, planning with the ward beforehand.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
In the first 14 days you may end the care at any moment if it is not right, with no notice and no cost.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. You may be entitled to NHS Continuing Healthcare or a Needs Assessment from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on 020 7361 3013, and Age UK Kensington and Chelsea gives dementia advice on 020 8969 9105.
Can a live-in carer take my father to a memory café in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes. Age UK Kensington and Chelsea holds monthly memory cafés for residents over 55 with dementia or memory difficulties, one at the Reed Day Centre in W11 and one in SW10, and transport is available for those who need it. Ring 020 8969 9105 and choose option 5.
Can my mother visit Kensal Green Cemetery with a carer?
Yes. The cemetery covers 72 acres and the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery organise guided tours, some including the catacomb. A carer can plan a short route and a rest stop, and check the tour dates beforehand.
Is Portobello Road market too busy on a Saturday?
Saturday is the only day when all five sections of the market are open. Clothing, antique, bric-a-brac and fruit and vegetable stalls also trade on other days, so a carer can pick a quieter day for a slower walk along the 1.72 kilometres.
