Clarendon Home Care

Clarendon Home Care is a leading provider of live in care and hourly home care based in Surrey.

Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to residential care that allows you to maintain independence and control at home. It offers people the opportunity to build a closer relationship with one carer and to receive around-the-clock support from a trained professional that knows your routines as well as you do. Once you get in touch with us and tell us a little bit more about the level of care you or your loved one require, we’ll put together an initial assessment and give you some idea of what level of support we think you’ll need and how much it might cost. From there, we’ll sit down with you for a face-to-face chat and we’ll get to know you and your circumstances a little better. We’ll use these initial conversations with you to build a profile of the kind of live-in carer that suits you and your family. We’ll then present you with a few options and together we’ll choose a live-in carer based on their experience, qualifications, character, and skills. We’ll then place the live-in carer in your home and the care service will begin. We’ll fully manage things after that, dealing with the carer’s pay and holiday and following up with spot-checks, performance reviews and any extra training that’s required. Call us today to arrange your free Clarendon Home Care consultation and assessment on 020 8439 7722.

"My name’s Carol and I’ve lived in Kingston upon Thames for more than 40 years. When my family first suggested live-in care, I thought, ‘Oh no, someone under my roof 24/7? I’ll never get a moment’s peace!’ But I couldn’t have been more wrong.

All you really need is a house with a spare room and an open mind. My live-in carer has become part of the furniture (in the best possible way!). She’s there when I need help, but she knows when to give me space too.

The security of live in care is such a relief, no more worrying about trips to the loo at night or whether I’ll remember my tablets in the morning. My children rest easier too, knowing there’s always someone here if anything happens.

The biggest pro? I get to stay in the home I love, surrounded by my memories, my garden, and my nosy neighbours. And for couples, live-in care means you don’t have to be separated, you stay together, in your own home, supported by someone who understands your routine.

I often joke that I’ve got a ‘new flatmate’ who actually enjoys cooking, doesn’t mind a chat over tea, and never forgets bin day! Honestly, I can’t imagine life without this kind of support now. Clarendon Home Care has given me my independence back - with just the right balance of help and freedom.”

Live-In Care in Kingston upon Thames: Helping Older People Thrive at Home

When the time comes to think about extra support for a loved one, many families in Kingston upon Thames, Surbiton, Esher and the surrounding towns face a difficult choice: arrange visiting home care or consider live-in care. Both options can make a big difference, but the right decision depends on your loved one’s needs, personality, and circumstances.

At Clarendon Home Care, we’ve supported older people in Surrey for over 25 years. One of the biggest shifts we’ve seen recently is the rise in families choosing live-in care. Here’s why.

Home Care vs Live-In Care: What’s the Difference?

Home care (domiciliary care):

A carer visits for scheduled calls — perhaps an hour in the morning, half an hour at lunch, and an evening check-in.

Flexible, affordable, and ideal for people who only need limited help with personal care, meals, or medication.

However, carers come and go, and there may be gaps between visits when your loved one is alone.

Live-in care:

A professional carer lives in the home, providing support and companionship around the clock.

Tailored to the individual’s routines, preferences, and lifestyle.

Offers reassurance for families, knowing someone is always there if needed.

For many, live-in care feels like a “halfway point” between traditional home care and residential care homes: the safety net of 24-hour support, without the upheaval of moving away.

Why Live-In Care Can Be Life-Changing

Independence and familiarity
Staying in the comfort of your own home - with familiar surroundings, neighbours, and routines - often helps older people remain active and engaged for longer. Research shows people who receive live-in care are 32% more likely to continue living independently five years later compared to those in residential care.

Couples can stay together
For older couples, residential care often means separation - one partner may move into a care home while the other remains at home. With live-in care, both can stay together, supported by a single carer who adapts to their joint needs. This not only works out more affordable, but also preserves companionship and emotional wellbeing.

Personalised support
Unlike care homes, where staff share their time among many residents, a live-in carer focuses solely on your loved one. That means meals cooked the way they like, daily walks in familiar places and care shaped to their exact wishes.

Peace of mind for families
Knowing someone is always present offers reassurance for adult children who may live further away or juggle busy working lives.

The Cost of Live-In Care

There’s no getting around it: live-in care is a significant investment. But then, all good care is. The important thing is to compare the value with other options:

A quality care home in Surrey costs, on average, £1,200–£1,600 per week per person.

Live-in care typically costs around £1,100–£1,400 per week for an individual, and only slightly more for a couple.

This means couples often find live-in care is up to 45% cheaper than both entering residential care separately, while also keeping them together at home.

In addition, some families are eligible for local authority support. The local council may contribute towards care costs following a financial assessment and there may also be NHS Continuing Healthcare options depending on medical needs.

Is Live-In Care Right for Your Family?

Every situation is unique. For some, visiting home care is more than enough. But for those who want reassurance, companionship, and a genuine alternative to a care home, live-in care can be transformative.

At Clarendon Home Care, we don’t believe in heavy sales pitches. Our job is to provide honest advice, share our experience, and help you make the decision that’s right for your family.

If you’d like to explore live-in care in Kingston, Surbiton, Walton-on-Thames, or the surrounding areas, please feel free to contact us for an informal chat. Whether you’re planning ahead or facing an urgent need, we’re here to listen and guide you through the options.

🍂 Why Live-In Care is the Ideal Option for Couples in Surrey 🏡💑

At Clarendon Home Care, we believe growing older together shouldn’t mean being separated by care needs.

Live-in care offers couples the chance to:
✔️ Stay together in the comfort of their own home
✔️ Receive personalised, round-the-clock support
✔️ Avoid the emotional and financial strain of two separate beds in a care home

It’s a cost-effective, compassionate alternative that keeps love, routine, and independence at the heart of daily life.

Whether you’re in Kingston, Esher, Cobham or Dorking, our Surrey-based care team is here to make sure you or your loved ones can stay together — right where you belong.

Nobody Plans for Home Care - Until They Have To

Home care is rarely something families plan for in advance. It often follows a crisis - a fall, a hospital visit, or a growing realisation that Mum or Dad is slowing down and struggling at home. These moments are emotional, overwhelming, and filled with urgency. In the panic, many people turn to Google, click the top result, and sign up with the first care company they see - not necessarily the one that’s right for them.

Before committing, ask a few key questions:
Location - Does the company truly cover your area, or are they stretching themselves thin?
Size - Larger agencies often prioritise filling rotas over continuity. Carers may come and go.
Reputation - Some new companies lack experience, while others have been bought by investment firms more focused on profit than people.

At Clarendon Home Care, we do things differently. Since 1994, we've supported families across Cobham, Thames Ditton, Walton, Kingston, Staines, Sunbury, and Egham with genuine, local care. Our kind, English-speaking carers are loyal, consistent, and supported by a dedicated office team who truly know your area - and your loved one.

When care becomes urgent, make the calm, trusted choice: Clarendon Home Care.

"I’ve been receiving help from Clarendon Home Care for a good few years now and I must say, I don’t know what I’d do without them. At my age, things don’t come as easy as they used to, but the carers that come to see me make all the difference.

They help me get up in the mornings, make sure I take my tablets, and even put the kettle on just how I like it. They’re always cheerful and never rush me. Some even stay for a little chat, which I look forward to more than they probably know.

I’m not one for writing reviews and all that, but these ladies (and the occasional young man) are more than carers - they’ve become like friends to me. They help me feel safe and not so alone.

Clarendon always seem to send people who care, proper caring people, and that’s rare these days. I’ve had a few health scares and they’ve always gone the extra mile to make sure I’m alright.

So yes, I’d recommend them to anyone who needs a bit of help at home. They’ve been a godsend to me, and I’m very thankful.

The Little Things That Make a Big Difference: How Home Care Supports Everyday Comforts

At Clarendon Home Care, we believe that true care lies in the small details — the quiet, everyday comforts that many of us take for granted. For older people, especially those living with arthritis or reduced mobility, even simple tasks like making the bed can become painful or exhausting.

But think about that feeling — slipping into a freshly made bed at the end of the day. It’s a moment of calm, comfort, and dignity. Or the satisfying ritual of making a cup of tea, choosing your mug, waiting for the kettle to boil — it's a routine that brings purpose and pleasure.

Our carers in Kingston upon Thames, Cobham, Walton, Richmond and nearby areas do far more than complete tasks. Yes, they’re there to help with beds, tea, dressing, and medication. But more importantly, they’re there to encourage and enable. We support people in continuing to do the little things that bring rhythm and texture to life — folding laundry, watering plants, feeding the cat — always with warmth and patience.

Whether through home care, live-in care, or respite care, Clarendon Home Care is here to make everyday life a little easier, a little brighter, and always deeply personal.

02/06/2025

At Clarendon Home Care, we believe in delivering compassionate, person-centred care that puts people first — always. Whether it’s home care, live-in care, or respite care, our mission is to ensure every individual receives the dignity, support, and attention they deserve.

Technology plays a quiet but vital role in how we maintain the highest standards. Our dedicated carers use the HomeCare app to log in and out of every visit, making sure that no call is ever missed. Through the app, they also record tasks completed and any medication administered, helping us keep everything safe, accountable, and up to date.

Just as importantly, we know how vital peace of mind is for loved ones. That’s why we offer our Friends and Family app, which allows relatives to check in on the care being provided — in real-time. We always say: family are the best set of eyes, and this app keeps them closely involved, no matter how far away they may be.

At Clarendon, we blend traditional, heartfelt care with smart tools to give families confidence and keep those we support safe and well at home. It’s care, the Clarendon way — thoughtful, reliable, and deeply personal.
