Signs It Might Be Time for Extra Support
Many families in Ealing reach a point where a few visits a day from a carer no longer feels like enough. If any of this sounds familiar, live-in care is worth a proper look:
- Needs support throughout the day and night but does not want to move into a care home
- Has a progressive condition such as Parkinson’s, MS or dementia
- Lives alone in Ealing and family live far away, causing ongoing worry
If you recognise two or more of these, it is usually a sign that home visits alone are stretched too thin. A live-in carer removes the gaps between calls altogether — someone is there, day and night, for as long as your family needs them.

Staying at Home vs Moving Into a Care Home
Choosing between live-in care and a care home is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. Here is an honest, side-by-side look to help you weigh it up.
Staying in Your Own Home
- Your loved one stays in the home they know and love
- A dedicated carer who knows them personally
- Meals based on what they actually like
- You choose who provides the care
Moving to a Care Home
- Leaving a home they may have lived in for decades
- Rotating staff with varying levels of continuity
- Set mealtimes and shared facilities
- Less one-to-one time and personal attention
For many families in Ealing, when they sit down and compare the two, live-in care is not just the more personal option — it is often the more practical one too. A free assessment gives you a clear, honest picture of what it would look like for your loved one.

What Does Live-in Care Cost in Ealing?
There is no single price for live-in care — it depends on your loved one’s needs, not a fixed weekly rate. A few things shape the cost:
- Level of care needed — from companionship and light support through to complex or nursing-level care
- Hours of one-to-one attention required from your dedicated carer
- Any specialist training the role calls for, such as dementia or Parkinson's experience
Most families paying for live-in care in Ealing fund it privately, though some are able to access financial support. Ealing Council can carry out a needs assessment and a means test to see whether you qualify for local authority funding or a contribution towards your care, and some clients use equity release, pension income or a combination of savings and support from family. We are always happy to talk through the options on a free call, even before you book a home visit.
Because every family’s situation is different, we do not publish a generic price list. The best next step is a free, no-obligation home visit — we assess your loved one’s needs in Ealing and give you a clear, honest quote, with no pressure to commit.
