At Home Instead Camden, we believe that clarity around fees is key to helping families make confident decisions about care. The cost of putting high-quality home care in place depends on several factors, including:


The type and level of support required (e.g., personal care, specialist dementia or Parkinson’s support, live-in vs visiting care)


How many hours per week or month are needed


Whether services are delivered during evenings, weekends or 24-hour cover


any bespoke elements of the care plan (for example, additional companionship, outings, or specialised equipment)


Because each client’s needs are unique, we provide a tailored quote following a free home consultation. We will walk you through what your loved one requires, explain the team and support structure, and build a plan that aligns with your lifestyle and budget.


We believe that rather than presenting a “one-size-fits-all rate”, it is far more sensible and transparent to create a care package that flexes with your needs. If your requirements change (for example, increasing hours, adding specialist care, or adjusting the level of support), the plan and therefore the fee will reflect that.


During the consultation, we also explain how fees work: when invoices are issued, payment methods, what is included (and what is not), and how we review the plan over time to ensure value and relevance. We encourage families to ask about any potential additional costs or adjustments—our aim is that you feel comfortable, supported and fully informed. Available on request.

These prices are only a guideline, please contact Home Instead (Camden) to find out the exact price for your requirements.

Really lovely initial contact with the director and quickly set up the first step of care - who was very good. My father's live-in carer is absolutely fantastic! Very caring, perceptive, inventive and with humour, she has introduced some excellent new exercises and care regimes and has quickly become
a treasured part of the family! Thank you!

Our experience with Home Instead was nothing short of first-class, both from a management point of view and the care my mother received herself. The caregivers that we had over the years not only provided care, support and company to my mother, but in many ways, became an extended part of the family.

We have been using the services of Home Instead for nearly two years and are very happy with them. As a family we had become concerned that our mother was struggling to look after herself properly in her home. Since we brought in Home Instead we have been able to relax, knowing that she is in the capable
hands of an experienced, capable carer. The carer has demonstrated herself to be completely attuned to my mother's needs and the two of them have developed a close bond, which is reassuring for the rest of the family to see.

My mother's carer is outstanding! She is kind, caring and extremely patient. She showers and dresses her so nicely and mum always looks lovely when we visit. I trust mum's carer completely and would recommend her without hesitation.

We have enjoyed a very happy four-year relationship with Home Instead. My mother has extremely complex needs and requires great attention to detail, and also she benefits from regularly seeing the same faces. Home Instead has always gone "above and beyond" to send the same people as much as possible
and to carry out their work very carefully. Adaptable, dependable, and we have made very good relationships with the team. Excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carer provides excellent companionship and mental stimulation for my father with Alzheimer's. He is so kind and patient in conversation and also persuades my dad (86) to go for a daily walk (he often refuses to go out with me or my brother - the carer has the magic touch). We have tried many different
carers, but he knows how to make my dad feel in 'control' and is extremely charming and respectful. My dad actively looks forward to his visits. Thank you.

I have been very pleased by the service provided. My sister's care has been wonderfully organised and maintained. Her carers have been sympathetic, very understanding and in some cases have found interesting and imaginative activities for the client to engage in. Due to my sister's experience, a cousin
has engaged an American branch of Home Instead to care for her husband.

Home Instead Camden have provided an excellent home care service to my mother over the last few years. There has been great consistency of carers, all of whom have been lovely, very capable and taking great pride in their caring role. I found the agency managers very responsive and helpful throughout.
In particular, they responded very quickly when my mother suddenly needed a much higher level of care and put this in place at once. Overall my experience has been excellent and I would highly recommend this agency.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.781 for Home Instead (Camden) is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 114 Ratings = 4.781

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Camden) is based on 18 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
