Support at home in the heart of London
Westminster stretches from Mayfair, Soho and Covent Garden in the centre to Marylebone, Bayswater and Paddington, and north to St John's Wood, Maida Vale and Queen's Park. Further south are Belgravia, Pimlico and Victoria. Many older residents have lived in the same flat for decades and want to stay there.
A lot of homes here are in mansion blocks and converted townhouses, often with stairs and no lift. Daily life can mean busy pavements, crowded buses and long walks to the shops. A carer can make these things manageable again: help on the stairs, company on a trip to the GP or a slow walk in Regent's Park or Hyde 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 Westminster
Hourly care
From one hour a visit, £20 an hour every day. Enough for a morning routine, lunch and a trip to the shops on Marylebone High Street or in Pimlico.
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
Maybe a walk round St James's Park, a coffee in Little Venice or simply a chat at home.
Dementia support
A steady routine with the same familiar carer and gentle everyday help.
Help after hospital
Coming home after a stay at St Mary's in Paddington or another London hospital can be daunting. Carers help with everyday living, not medical procedures.
Partner carers support everyday living. They do not carry out medical procedures.
