Home care across Camden
Camden covers a lot of ground: Bloomsbury and Holborn near the centre, Camden Town and Kentish Town, then Belsize Park, Hampstead, West Hampstead and part of Highgate in the north. Each has its own pace, from busy high streets to quiet residential roads.
Hampstead and Highgate are hilly, and many homes are Victorian houses split into flats with steep stairs. For an older person, a trip to the shops can become a real effort. A carer can help with errands, cooking and personal care, or join a slow walk on Hampstead Heath or in Regent's Park.
Viola is an introductory agency: we introduce vetted, self-employed carers, you choose, and we handle the paperwork and payments.

Care at home in Camden
Hourly care
From one hour a visit, £20 an hour every day. Enough for help getting up, a walk to Kentish Town Road or Hampstead High Street and lunch together.
Overnight care
A carer stays through the night, usually 10pm to 8am, from £140 a night.
Live-in care
A carer lives in the home, from £150 a day. Needs a spare room.
Companionship
A stroll on Hampstead Heath, a trip to the library or a cup of tea and a chat at home.
Dementia support
A steady routine with the same familiar carer and gentle everyday help.
Help after hospital
Coming home from the Royal Free in Hampstead or University College Hospital can feel overwhelming. Carers help with everyday living, not medical procedures.
Partner carers support everyday living. They do not carry out medical procedures.
