Plan the budget

What live-in care costs in London

The typical advertised rate in our London sample is £1,050 a week, with PrimeCarers’ fee included. The middle 50% of the 100 sampled profiles with usable advertised rates fall between £1,015 and £1,140 a week. Some carers charge less or more.

These are area figures, not a quote for your care or a count of available placements. We use the median and 25th–75th percentiles of advertised daily rates, multiplied by seven. Searches return at most 100 profiles; the sample may not represent every carer in the area. Profiles retrieved 30 October 2026.

Agree the rate for the support you need, including care for a couple or help at night. Budget for the carer’s food, your normal household costs and any agreed travel. A live-in carer needs their own room and daily breaks; regular waking-night support may require another carer.

Next steps

Arrange live-in care in London

  1. Search using the care postcode. Compare experience, rates and the support each carer describes. State whether the placement is ongoing, respite or support after hospital.
  2. Discuss a normal day and night. Explain personal care, medication support, mobility, communication and routines. Ask about relevant skills and training, your dates, travel and references.
  3. Agree how the placement will work. Confirm the rate, room, food, daily breaks, nights, notice and cover when the carer is away. PrimeCarers provides the contract and payment tools; you and the carer agree and direct the care.

How a live-in placement works and arranging temporary live-in care explain the details.

Safety first

Know who you are inviting into the home

Read the carer’s profile, discuss relevant experience and ask questions before agreeing care. Our published checks and terms explain the support available.

See exactly what we check or call 0203 369 3624

Understand the carer checks

Before a carer appears, we check their ID and right to work, see an enhanced DBS check (PVG in Scotland, Access NI in Northern Ireland) issued within the last 2 years, and interview them online. We do not check qualifications, training or references. References and reviews on a profile are not verified by us, so ask each carer about the skills and training your relative’s care needs.

Read the insurance cover

Visits booked through PrimeCarers are covered by the carer insurance policy we arrange, within its terms. It does not cover clinical procedures (other than prompting or handing over oral medicines), and tasks such as giving medicines or moving and handling are covered only where the carer has been trained for them. Work arranged outside the platform is not covered. Read the policy before you rely on it.

Speak to our team

Contact the PrimeCarers team for help using the service, discussing options or resolving a platform issue. You and your chosen carer agree and direct the care.

Help when plans change

Ask our team for help seeking alternative carers if arrangements change. Agree a cover plan in advance: availability and replacement start dates need confirmation.
