All packages are confirmed by a care needs assessment before care begins, so the plan fits the person, not the brochure. The household provides the carer with a private room and meals, as is standard for live-in care.

Already have a live-in quote from another agency?

Send it to us. Within 24 hours we'll tell you, honestly and free of charge, whether it's fair, what's missing from it, and what the same care would cost with us. If their quote is good, we'll tell you to take it. Families remember honesty longer than brochures.

A CQC-registered provider, run by the family that owns it.

CQC-regulated, with the manager involved

Registered with the Care Quality Commission. Live-in care across England is planned and managed from Bournemouth: every placement starts with an assessment at home, and the Registered Manager or a senior member of the team reviews it in person within six weeks and then at least every three months.

Dedicated live-in carers

Carers recruited in London and the South East specifically for live-in work, matched to the person, with training, supervision and holiday cover handled by us.

Care written up every day

The carer keeps daily care notes, and the family is kept up to date as things change.

Assessment within 48 hours

We can usually assess within 48 hours of your call, and care typically begins within days, subject to availability.

A Registered Manager who answers

You deal with a named Registered Manager, not a call centre. Direct line, straight answers.

Things families ask us most.

Is £1,950 a week really all-in?

Yes. One dedicated carer resident 24 hours a day, sleeping nights included, personal care, medication support, meals, housekeeping and companionship, with recruitment, training, insurance and holiday cover handled by SAL. The only possible extras are listed openly on this page: an optional relief carer, the hours a carer is awake if they are woken more than twice in a night, waking-night cover if needs change, a food allowance option, and mileage for outings. There are no other charges.

Why do you publish your prices?

Because families deserve the number before the sales call. We publish ours and hold them for 30 days from your quotation.

Can one carer support a couple?

Often yes, subject to each person's assessment. A couple with one shared live-in carer is £2,150 per week all-in.

Do you charge VAT?

Our assessed care and welfare services are normally VAT exempt when delivered as CQC-regulated personal care. We do not add VAT to the listed prices where the service qualifies as VAT exempt.

How quickly can live-in care start?

We can usually carry out the care assessment within 48 hours of your call, and care typically begins within days of the assessment, subject to carer availability and the person's needs.

What does the carer need from the household?

A private room and three meals a day, as is standard for live-in care. If you would rather we handle food, a £45 per week food allowance can be added to the invoice.

What happens at night?

The carer sleeps at night and is on hand if needed, included in the weekly rate. If the carer is woken more than twice in a night, that night is charged for the hours they are awake at our standard visiting rate of £38 per hour (£40 at weekends). If broken nights become the norm, we review the care plan with you straight away, which can mean a second carer or a different arrangement, so the person stays safe overnight.

Do you also offer hourly visiting care?

In south west London and Surrey we provide live-in care only. Our hourly visiting care, from £38 an hour on weekdays (£40 at weekends), is available in Dorset. Every price is on our prices page, and we confirm what you need at your care assessment.

What areas do you cover?

Richmond upon Thames, Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon, Putney, Barnes, Kew, Teddington and Twickenham, and the Surrey towns of Esher, Cobham, Oxshott, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Leatherhead and Epsom. Live-in care is provided across England and managed from Bournemouth. Our hourly visiting care is in Dorset only.

Could NHS funding help with the cost?

Depending on the person's health needs, they may be entitled to NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. We can help you explore whether it applies.
