Our Live-in Care & Night Care Services in Dulwich

Find Home Care

If you or your loved one needs live-in care or night care in Dulwich, our Dulwich office on Lordship Lane is here to help.

With live-in care in Dulwich, a dedicated carer lives in your loved one's own home to provide one-to-one care. Live-in care is built around your loved one’s individual needs and guided by a care plan that’s frequently reviewed. A live-in carer can assist with personal care, washing, eating and drinking, medication routines as prescribed, cooking, mobility support, and appointments.

We match your loved one with highly trained carers based on personality and interests, which helps build a strong relationship and trust. Their companionship can combat isolation and loneliness and support your loved one’s emotional health. A familiar face can make all the difference in someone’s day.

While the live-in carer provides 24-hour support, they have their own room in the home and take regular breaks to ensure their support is sustainable and safe. Our team keeps emergency cover in place in case your regular carer is unavailable.

We offer two types of night care in Dulwich. With a waking nights service, your carer stays awake and alert all night. With sleeping nights,  the carer sleeps in the home and wakes if your loved one needs them. Knowing someone is there all night brings peace of mind, especially if your mother or father is living with dementia and has restless evenings, often called sundowning.

We also provide live-in respite care in Dulwich as a temporary care option, where one of our carers stays with your loved one for a week or two while a family member or private carer takes a break.

We support families across East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill, and across Greater London. Whether you need a short break or long-term care, staying at home avoids the upheaval of a move into residential care and helps older people maximise their independence and maintain their quality of life.

Contact us today to arrange live-in care in Dulwich or night care in Dulwich for you or your loved one.

Living in Dulwich

Dulwich is an area of south-east London, lying mostly in the London Borough of Southwark. The area consists of the neighbourhoods of Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, and West Dulwich. Dulwich Park is a favourite with residents, with a boating lake, a winter garden, and a café. You can hire recumbent bicycles to explore the park or pedalos or rowing boats on the lake. East Dulwich is centred around the bustling Lordship Lane and North Cross Road, which are lined with restaurants, independent shops, and other amenities. West Dulwich is quieter, with leafy streets of period properties. Dulwich is served by four train stations: East Dulwich, West Dulwich, North Dulwich, and Sydenham Hill, with quick connections to London Bridge and Victoria. Health services are ample, with King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill a short walk or drive away.

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 Dulwich and how does it work?

With live-in care in Dulwich, a carer lives with your loved one to provide one-to-one support. They help throughout the day and, when needed, at night, taking regular breaks as agreed. A live-in carer enables many people to stay in their own homes, which around 90% of older people prefer. Remaining at home can keep people connected to their community and can reduce the risk of infection and falls when compared to a care home. Our home care services are overseen by the Care Quality Commission and held to rigorous standards of safety and quality.

Are your carers local to Dulwich?

Yes, our Dulwich team works out of our Lordship Lane office and offers live-in care in Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, and West Dulwich. We match your loved one with a dedicated live-in carer, so they see a familiar face every day and receive reliable and professional support. If you are a daughter or son arranging care for a parent, speak to us about any concerns, and we will help you feel confident choosing the best care.

How does the cost of live-in care compare with a care home?

For one person, live-in care costs in London are often comparable to care home fees, which average £1,548 a week for residential care and £1,759 for nursing care (carehome.co.uk, 2026). Across the UK, the typical cost of live-in care is £1,200 to £1,800 per week. In London, costs are above the national average. However, for couples, live-in care can be more cost-effective than care homes.

Do you offer night care in Dulwich?

Yes, we offer overnight care in Dulwich, with waking nights and sleeping nights services. Our clients' care plans set out the level of care provided through the night. Our overnight carers can help with mobility and medication at night, respond to emergencies, and provide reassurance.

Do you provide dementia care in Dulwich?

Yes, we provide dementia care at home in Dulwich, with live-in care and night care options. Familiar surroundings can reduce anxiety and confusion for people living with dementia, so many families prefer home care to a care home. A home carer can help with housework, shopping, meals, and days out. We also offer short-term live-in respite care to give family carers a break.

How do I arrange live-in care in Dulwich?

Contact our Dulwich team, and we’ll guide you through your care journey. We’ll arrange a free assessment and conduct a home visit to understand your loved one’s needs. You must have a suitable private bedroom for the carer and adequate facilities. We’re a fully-managed home care agency, which means we directly employ, train, and supervise our carers. This is different from introductory agencies, which match families with self-employed carers and leave them responsible for tax, insurance, and other responsibilities. We cover all of these obligations and regularly review your loved one’s care to ensure it matches their changing needs.
