A live-in carer moves into the home in Edmonton and is there day and night: personal care, meals, medicines prompted at the right times, company, and someone in the house overnight. On PrimeCarers you choose the carer yourself from the profiles of those who can reach Edmonton, agree the rate on their profile, and we set up the contract and the weekly payments. Families arrange it after an operation or a hospital stay, for dementia, for a couple, or when visits are no longer enough. How live-in care works goes through it step by step.

From carers' own profiles, November 2026. Distances are straight-line, from the centre of Edmonton to where each carer says they live. Counts are the live-in carers with a photo and a live-in rate that our area searches return, at most 100 per area, so busy areas have more. Rates include our fee and are advertised day rates multiplied by seven; typical means the median. Availability for your dates needs confirming with each carer.

Most families start with a call: what your relative needs, what it would cost, whether a live-in carer is the right answer or hourly visits would do, and what to ask a carer when you speak to them. Charlotte has those conversations every day and can tell you which of the carers in Edmonton might suit, though the choice is always yours.

Help paying

Help with the cost of live-in care in Edmonton

Edmonton is in the Enfield council area. Ask your council for a care needs assessment and, where relevant, a financial assessment.

Depending on needs, Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare can help too, and so can pensions, savings and the value in a home.
