Our Live-in Care & Night Care Services in Croydon

Find Home Care

If your loved one needs night care or live-in care in Croydon, Tiggo Care provides a personalised approach to keeping them comfortable and safe at home.

Our Croydon live-in care services provide comprehensive one-to-one care in the familiar surroundings of your loved one's own home. Live-in care means a dedicated carer moves into a residential home to assist with personal care, mobility support, housekeeping, meal preparation, and companionship as part of a fully tailored live-in care plan.

Every personalised care plan is built around your loved one's individual needs, so the support they receive fits their life and daily routine. We work closely with families to make sure your loved one stays in control and that the care provided feels right from day one.

If your loved one only needs support at night, our night care in Croydon might be a good fit. We offer two options: a waking night carer who stays alert throughout or a sleeping night carer who is on hand in case of emergencies. Both services give families peace of mind knowing that professional support is close by through the night.

Our professional carers are matched carefully to each care recipient, so your loved one receives high-quality care from someone they feel comfortable with. Whether their need is for safety, medication reminders, or simply a reassuring presence, our night care adapts to deliver the right level of support.

Live-in care can be arranged on either a short-term or long-term basis, depending on your loved one's care requirements. We offer live-in respite care as a temporary care option. One of our carers stays with your loved one for a week or two whilst family carers or private carers in Croydon take a well-earned break. 

Many families choose live-in care because it allows their loved one to remain living in their own home, which can make a real difference to their independence and quality of life. For those who need extra support at short notice or have more complex care needs, we can adjust their care package to ensure they always receive the best possible care.

Tiggo Care is proud to be fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which inspects and reviews all care agencies in Croydon and across England. Contact us today to discuss live-in care in Croydon and find out how we can help with our live-in and night care in Croydon services.

Living in Croydon

Croydon is a lively town centre in South London, around nine miles south of Charing Cross. It’s the heart of the London Borough of Croydon and is well connected to Central London by rail and buses. A network of trams makes transport throughout the borough easier and connects Croydon residents to other areas of South London, from Wimbledon to Beckenham. The borough has a strong network of healthcare services, including Croydon University Hospital and a wide range of GP surgeries and pharmacies. Areas such as South Norwood and Thornton Heath offer a mix of local amenities and community facilities suited to older adults. Wandle Park and Lloyd Park provide accessible outdoor areas popular with older residents for gentle walks. With good transport links and a welcoming local community, Croydon is a well-supported place to live as you get older.

More reasons to choose Tiggo Care

Our packages are bespoke

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.

We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.

We're fully regulated

Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited and ensures that we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.

We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice

Our carers are fully vetted & trained

At Tiggo Care, all our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers also undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is live-in care in Croydon, and how does it work?

Live-in care in Croydon means a professional carer moves into your loved one's home to provide tailored support. The process usually starts with a phone call to discuss their care requirements, followed by an in-home assessment to put a personalised care plan in place.

What does a live-in carer do?

A live-in carer helps with personal care and practical tasks such as cooking and housekeeping while offering companionship. Their support is highly personalised, shaped by your loved one's care requirements, and can include help with mobility and medication routines. Our live-in carers in Croydon can also provide specialist care, such as dementia support and assistance for people with Parkinson's disease and other conditions.

Do you provide complex care at home in Croydon?

Yes, we provide complex care at home in Croydon for people with a range of conditions and higher support needs. Our carers work closely with families and healthcare professionals to make sure the right level of care is in place. We always operate within our scope as a home care provider and can introduce a second home carer or work alongside NHS district nurses where clinical input is needed.

Do you have local carers in Croydon?

Yes, we have local carers in Croydon who are directly employed by Tiggo Care and have completed extensive training. They’re familiar with the borough, its amenities, transport, and healthcare facilities, so they can fit into your loved one’s life easily. Many of our Croydon carers have experience in specialist care, such as dementia support and palliative care.

What goes into a care plan for live-in care?

We take a person-centred care approach, producing care plans that are highly personalised, built around your loved one's specific needs, preferences, and daily routine. We start by talking through their care requirements and then carry out an in-home assessment. The care plan we produce lays out agreed care tasks, medical and health needs, daily routines, safety and risk assessments, and goals. Care plans are flexible. They’re reviewed regularly and adapt over time as your loved one's needs change, drawing on guidance from their GP, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist where needed. We stay in regular contact with families to keep them up to date on their loved one's health and any changes.

What is companionship care?

Companionship care focuses on providing social support and reducing feelings of isolation for your loved one. A carer can accompany them to social events, help with shopping and excursions, or simply spend time together at home. The one-to-one nature of live-in care helps build a strong bond between carer and client, which can make a real difference to their quality of life.
