Support at home across Barnet
Barnet is one of the largest boroughs in London. It covers Golders Green and Hampstead Garden Suburb, Hendon and Colindale, the Finchleys, Whetstone and Totteridge, Mill Hill, Edgware and, at the northern edge, High Barnet and New Barnet.
It is largely suburban, with many semi-detached houses on hills and longer distances to the shops than in inner London. Older people who no longer drive can feel cut off. A carer can help with shopping, cooking, personal care and getting out, whether to Ballards Lane, Golders Hill Park or a local community centre.
Viola is an introductory agency: we introduce vetted, self-employed carers, you choose, and we handle the paperwork and payments.

Live-in care
A carer lives in the home, from £150 a day. Needs a spare room.
Companionship
