Support at home in Hackney
Hackney stretches from Hoxton and Shoreditch in the south, through Haggerston, De Beauvoir, Dalston and Hackney Central, to Stoke Newington, Clapton and Stamford Hill in the north, and Homerton and Hackney Wick in the east.
Housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, converted flats and large estates, so stairs and lifts are part of daily life for many older residents. High streets like Mare Street and Stoke Newington Church Street can be busy. A carer can help with shopping, meals and personal care, and with getting out to Clissold Park, London Fields or Springfield 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 Hackney
Hourly care
From one hour a visit, £20 an hour every day. Enough for help getting ready, a trip to Ridley Road market or Church Street and a hot lunch.
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 walk in Clissold Park, an outing along the canal or company over a cup of tea at home.
Dementia support
A steady routine with the same familiar carer and gentle everyday help.
Help after hospital
Coming home from Homerton Hospital or elsewhere can leave a parent needing extra help. Carers help with everyday living, not medical procedures.
Partner carers support everyday living. They do not carry out medical procedures.
