Haverhill Home Care live-in care in West Wickham: an alternative to a care home
With live-in care, a trained carer moves into the spare room and supports your relative through the day and night. They keep their own front door, their garden, their neighbours along the village street and, often, their pets. In a village with no shop, a live-in carer also takes care of the shopping and errands.
Haverhill Home Care live-in care costs £1,330 to £1,400 a week. The average starting price for care homes in and around West Wickham is about £1,552 a week (carehome.co.uk), so live-in care can cost less and gives one-to-one support at home.

Haverhill Home Care knows West Wickham, Streetly End and Burton End
West Wickham is a South Cambridgeshire parish of about 400 people on the Suffolk border, with Balsham to the west and Horseheath to the south. The village street runs north-east from the Horseheath to Balsham road to Burton End, and Streetly End lies about half a mile south on the road to Horseheath. Yen Hall, to the north, is now a single farmhouse.
St Mary’s Church has a 14th-century nave and chancel and a tower that may date from the 13th century. The parish’s southern edge follows the ancient Wool Street track. The village has lost its school and its pubs, so shopping, GP visits and hospital trips mean a drive to Linton, Haverhill or Cambridge.
