Home care in Barnet
CQC Rated Good home care across the London Borough of Barnet — from a few hours a week to full live-in support.
Barnet is one of the areas we know best. It is also one of the largest boroughs in London, and covering it properly means having carers who actually live in it — not carers dispatched across the North Circular twice a day and arriving late.
That is the whole basis of how we build rounds here. Carers work in the neighbourhoods they live in, which is why our visits start on time and why the same faces keep turning up.
It also means we are a short drive from the hospitals that discharge into the borough — Barnet Hospital, Edgware Community Hospital and Finchley Memorial Hospital, all part of Royal Free London — as well as the other trusts Barnet residents are treated by. When a discharge moves quickly, that proximity is the difference between someone coming home on Friday and waiting until Monday.

Care available across Barnet
Personal care at home
Washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility support, from short visits through to several calls a day. Charged by the hour, at the same rate day or night.
Live-in care
A carer living in the home, for round-the-clock support without anyone leaving the house they know. Charged at a weekly rate.
Dementia & complex care
Carers trained for the specific condition — dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, learning disabilities and long-term conditions — with continuity treated as clinical, not cosmetic.
Hospital discharge & reablement
Short-term, goal-focused support that steps down as confidence returns. We work directly with discharge coordinators and can have a carer in place the same day.
Overnight support
Waking nights and sleeping nights, charged hourly like everything else — there is no separate night rate.
Respite for family carers
Regular breaks for the person doing the caring. With around 40,000 unpaid carers in Barnet, this is the service families ask about last and need earliest.

Carers who speak your language
Barnet is one of the most diverse boroughs in London, and matching on language and culture is one of the most practical things we can offer. Tell us what matters at the assessment and we will match for it where we can, or arrange interpreting support.
Carers working in Barnet today speak English, Gujarati, Hindi and Romanian between them, and our wider team is more diverse than that short list suggests. It is always worth asking.
