Hello, I am looking for a live in carer for my Mum who is in palliative care with advanced breast cancer. We live in London SW4, please could you advise on a good care agency that could provide this?

  • Hello  

    Thank yu for reaching out to the Macmillan Online Community. 

    We are unfortunately unable to recommend live in carers, it is however worth looking at specific carers organisations such as Carers UK and Carers Trust.  The NHS provides information about accessing paid care at home and It is also worth looking at the Quality Care Commission for guidance around private care at home.

    How is Mum doing just now? How are you finding everything

    You are welcome to reach out to our helpline 0808 808 0000, through email and through our Online chat we're available 7 days a week 8am-8pm. We provide emotional support - a way to talk through how you are feeling and working through this as well as providing information around how to access practical support at home. We also have a team of clinical helpline nurses and a money team should they be needed. 

    Kind regards, 

    Katie, Information and Support Adviser
