Respite care, overnight dementia care, live-in care, and 24-hour dementia support at home in London. Choose the right level of care with a free home assessment. CQC-registered.
Dementia care needs change over time. What works today may not be enough in six months. You need a care provider that can adapt with you.
If any of the below are familiar to you…
- Night-time has become unsafe — your loved one wanders, becomes confused, or needs assistance that disrupts everyone’s sleep
- You need a break from caring but feel guilty about leaving your loved one with someone who doesn’t understand their condition
- Your loved one’s dementia has progressed to the point where they need continuous supervision throughout the day and night
- You’re considering a care home but would prefer your loved one to stay in their own home where they feel safest
- You’re not sure what level of care is right and want a proper assessment before committing
…we at Tidal Living are able to help, providing specialist dementia support and domiciliary care for adults.
Live-in Dementia Care
Not every family needs the same level of support, and the right level changes as dementia progresses. At Tidal Living, we offer a full spectrum of dementia care at home — from occasional respite visits to round-the-clock live-in care.
Our free home assessment helps you understand which option is right for your loved one today, and our flexible approach means we can step up or step down support as needs evolve. You are never locked into a fixed package.

Why Tidal Living
At Tidal Living, our unique strengths are:
Holistic, Psychotherapist-led Care
Our director personally oversees every aspect of care, from staff training to family communication to individual support, ensuring that nothing gets missed. Every care plan is guided by psychotherapy principles, giving emotional and mental wellbeing as much attention as practical tasks like medication administration, household routines, and health management.
Continuous supervision & reflective practice
Our director, Sabbir Ahmed (UKCP-registered psychotherapist), provides regular clinical supervision and training, and all carers take part in reflective practice groups. This reflection and supervision is linked with better person-centred care, higher quality of practice, crucial when supporting people and families living with dementia.
Data-driven healthtech & pharmacy expertise
Alongside human relationships, we use safe, GDPR-compliant technology to track patterns in wellbeing, medication and risk, led by a team with pharmacy and data-analytics expertise. Our co-director Umar Alvi is an MPharm graduate; at Tidal Living, we bring together clinical psychotherapy and pharmaceutical expertise.
Person-centred, relationship-focused approach
We match carers to clients based on personality, skills and interests, involving families in shaping each care plan. Our aim is to build warm, consistent relationships that facilitate personalised, meaningful activities for people living with dementia.
Find the Right Level of Dementia Care for Your Family
From respite care to 24-hour support, we’ll help you find the right balance of professional care and family life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Live-in care means one dedicated carer lives in your loved one’s home and is available throughout the day, with rest periods overnight. 24-hour care uses a team of carers working in shifts, providing continuous waking support day and night. 24-hour care is typically recommended when your loved one needs frequent overnight assistance or has complex needs that require constant supervision.
Yes. Our overnight dementia carers are trained in managing sundowning, night-time confusion, wandering, and continence support. We offer both waking night care (the carer stays alert all night) and sleeping night care (the carer is present and available if needed). Your assessment will determine which option is most appropriate.
Yes. While planned respite allows us to match the best carer, we also provide emergency respite care at short notice when family carers need urgent support. Call us on 0203 576 1970 and we will do our best to arrange care quickly.
A member of our team visits your loved one at home to understand their condition, daily routines, medication, and home environment. We also listen to your needs as a family carer. The assessment typically takes 45–60 minutes and results in a personalised care recommendation with transparent pricing.
Yes. Dementia is a progressive condition, so we review care plans regularly and adjust the level of support as needs change. Many families start with a few hours of respite care per week and gradually increase to overnight or live-in care as the condition progresses. Our flexible approach means you are never locked into a fixed package.
