HOME CARE IN BRENTFORD, HOUNSLOW AND WEST LONDON

Care at home, from people who take the time to know you

We help adults stay safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes. The same small team visits each time, so your mum, dad or loved one sees familiar faces, not a different stranger every week.

Home care that fits around the person, not the rota

Getting older, living with a long-term condition or coming home after a hospital stay can make everyday things harder. Washing, getting dressed, remembering medicines, cooking a proper meal. Small tasks start to feel big.

Lighter House is a home care provider based in Brentford. We send trained, vetted carers into people's homes across West London to help with exactly those tasks. Before anything starts, we sit down with you, find out how you like things done, and write it into a care plan you agree to.

You stay in charge of your day. We make it easier to get through.

How we can help at home

Care can be a 30-minute morning visit or several visits a day. Most people combine a few of these.

Personal care

Help with washing, bathing, dressing, toileting and getting ready for the day, done with patience and privacy.

Medication support

Reminders, prompting and recorded support so medicines are taken safely and on time.

Companionship care

Conversation, outings, hobbies and company for anyone who spends too much time on their own.

Dementia care

Calm, consistent support for people living with dementia, and practical help for the family around them.

Respite care

Short-term cover so family carers can rest, go on holiday or look after their own health.

Hospital to home

Support in the first days and weeks after a hospital stay, when getting home safely matters most.

Meals and home help

Cooking, shopping, laundry and light housework, so home stays comfortable and safe.

What you can expect from us

The same faces each visit

We keep teams small so the people we support get to know their carers, and their carers get to know them. If a regular carer is on leave, we tell you in advance who is covering.

Carers we would trust with our own families

Every carer has an enhanced DBS check, verified references and right-to-work checks before they meet a client. All complete the Care Certificate and ongoing training in areas such as moving and handling, medicines and dementia awareness.

A plan you write with us

Your care plan records what matters to you: the time you like to get up, how you take your tea, your faith and culture, whether you'd prefer a male or female carer. We review it regularly and whenever your needs change.

Someone to call

You get a direct line to our office team, not a national call centre. Out-of-hours support is available for every client.

How care starts with Lighter House

Arranging care often happens at a stressful time. We keep the process simple and move as quickly as you need.

1

A friendly first conversation

Call us or send an enquiry. We'll ask about the person who needs support and what you're hoping for, and give you an idea of cost. It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.

2

A free home visit

A senior member of our team visits at a time that suits you. Family are welcome. We talk about routines, health, likes and dislikes, and check the home is safe. No charge, no obligation.

3

Your care plan

We write a care plan based on the visit and go through it with you. You agree it before anything starts, and you can change it at any time.

4

Meet your carers

We match you with carers based on needs, personality and preferences. Where possible, we introduce your main carer before the first visit.

5

Care begins

Visits start on the agreed date. Carers record each visit, and family can be kept updated by phone or care app.

6

Regular reviews

We check in after the first two weeks, then review the care plan regularly, or sooner if needs change.

Home care across West London

Our office is on the Great West Road in Brentford, and our carers live locally. That means reliable visits, short travel times and carers who know your area.

Home care in Brentford

Brentford is home for Lighter House. Many of our carers live a short walk or bus ride away, from Brentford Lock and Syon to Gunnersbury and Kew Bridge. We work closely with the discharge team at West Middlesex University Hospital and with Hounslow adult social care.

Home care in Hounslow

We support adults across Hounslow, from Hounslow West and Lampton to Heston, Cranford, Whitton and Isleworth. If you're arranging care after a stay at West Mid, we can usually assess before the discharge date. Hounslow residents can ask the council for a free care needs assessment and use a direct payment to choose us.

Home care in Ealing

Our carers visit homes across Ealing, including Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, South Ealing, Northfields and Hanwell. We work alongside local GP practices, district nurses and Ealing Council's adult social care team.
