At Hedgerow Homecare, we’re seeing a new wave of care across North London – one that’s more flexible, more connected, and more personal than ever. Whether you're exploring care for a parent, partner or neighbour, this guide shows how homecare is evolving – and how we’re leading the way in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Haringey, and Hackney.

📍 North London Families Are Choosing Personalised Homecare

Families are moving away from rigid care plans and choosing homecare that fits around their lives. That’s exactly what we do at Hedgerow – flexible, one-to-one care that evolves as needs change.

From companionship and home help to dementia care and post-hospital recovery, we build bespoke packages that give your loved one the right support – and you, peace of mind.

🤖 Smarter Technology Means Better Peace of Mind

We're proud to use the Birdie care app, which gives families live updates on care visits, medications, and daily notes. This transparency brings families closer to their loved one's care – no matter where they are.

We also offer smart solutions like fall detection, digital care plans, and daily wellbeing tracking – combining human care with smart tools.

👥 How We’re Solving the Carer Shortage (Before It Affects You)

There’s no denying it: the UK is facing a nationwide shortage of care workers. But at Hedgerow Homecare, we've built a recruitment system that works ahead of the curve.

Thanks to our:

Advanced recruitment pipelines, including overseas sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa
Ongoing training and retention programmes
Local talent pool of reliable, fully vetted carers

We always have ample cover across Barnet, Camden, Haringey, Islington and Hackney. That means no last-minute cancellations, no unfamiliar faces turning up without warning – just a small, consistent team you can rely on.

💬 Local and Personal – Just as Care Should Be

At Hedgerow, we’re not a franchise or a faceless agency. We’re a close-knit team based right here in North London. You’ll always speak to someone who knows you and your family – and your care plan won’t be passed from desk to desk.

Our clients often tell us they feel like we’re part of the family. That’s what real care feels like.

🧠 Expertise in Dementia, Stroke Recovery, and Specialist Needs

Our carers aren’t just trained – they’re experienced in real-world situations, from dementia and Alzheimer's to end-of-life care. We also support clients recovering from strokes, surgery, or long-term illness.

Need support while you’re away on holiday? Or help getting someone settled after hospital discharge? We're ready, with a plan that works for you.

🏡 Let’s Talk – No Obligation, No Pressure

We offer free care needs assessments throughout North London, and we can usually visit within a few days. No pressure, no upfront commitment – just a friendly chat to help you explore your options.

Whether you’re ready to start care next week or just weighing up possibilities, we’re here to help.
