About Our Islington Service

Trusted Home Care in Islington

Kome Care is a CQC-registered home care agency providing person-centred domiciliary care throughout the London Borough of Islington. We work along the busy stretch of Angel and Upper Street and out into the residential neighbourhoods of Highbury, Archway, and Finsbury Park, helping people live safely and independently in their own homes. Our care teams are local, so they know the area well.

Islington is served by several major NHS hospitals, among them the Whittington in Archway, University College Hospital and the Royal Free. Where discharge teams and other professionals are already involved and appropriate information-sharing arrangements are in place, our coordinators can liaise with them and follow the agreed care and escalation plans, so the move from hospital back home is properly coordinated.

Islington has a diverse and ageing population with varied needs. We provide culturally sensitive care from trained carers who speak a range of languages. Some clients want short daily visits to help with washing and medication; others need intensive live-in care after a serious illness or surgery. Kome Care has the experience and the capacity to cover both.

If you need guidance on council-funded social care in Islington, the London Borough of Islington Adult Social Care team can be reached on 020 7527 2000. Kome Care works with both council-arranged packages and private self-funded arrangements, and we can talk you through the options.

Complex Care

Nurse-Led Complex Care at Home in Islington

Complex care is our principal specialist service, delivered alongside the personalised home care described above. It is for people whose needs go beyond routine support — significant or changing health needs, delegated healthcare tasks, complex medication, neurological conditions, or clinical interventions that need proper oversight.

We keep an honest distinction between capabilities we already hold and can deploy after assessment, and interventions we can consider but would need to build for your specific package — recruiting, training and competency-assessing staff before care begins. That distinction matters most to case managers and discharge teams, because it is the difference between a package that starts next week and one that needs a month of preparation.

Before we accept a complex package in Islington

Acceptance depends on the person’s assessed needs, location, staffing, the competencies required, equipment, safe rostering and clinical arrangements. We look at:

Assessment & clinical risk

What the person actually needs, and what could go wrong.

Interventions & competencies

Which clinical tasks are involved and who is signed off to do them.

Staff matching & training

The right people, trained for this package rather than in general.

Equipment & safe rostering

Whether the rota can be sustained, not just started.

Escalation arrangements

Who gets called, and how quickly, when something changes.

If we cannot put those in place safely, we will tell you so rather than accept the package and work it out afterwards.

Common Questions

Home Care in Islington: Your Questions Answered

We consider enquiries from across Islington. Whether we can take on a particular package depends on the person’s postcode, what care is needed, and whether we can put together a safe, sustainable care team for it. Tell us the postcode and the type of support required and we will confirm.
Yes. Our regulated service, Kome Care Community, is registered with the Care Quality Commission. CQC Location ID: 1-15308134496.
Not yet. Kome Care Community has been registered but has not yet been inspected, so there is no CQC inspection rating. Registration and an inspection judgement are two different things, and we would rather say so plainly than let a badge imply an outcome that has not happened.
It means nursing expertise sits behind the decisions that matter, used proportionately. Care plans receive nursing review and sign-off where our clinical governance process requires it. Where needs are complex, clinical or higher-risk, nursing involvement runs through assessment, care planning, competency and oversight. Routine companionship or household support does not need to be turned into a clinical service.
Not necessarily. A Care Coordinator is normally your first point of contact after an enquiry, and the level of clinical involvement depends on what the person needs. Where complex, clinical or higher-risk needs are identified, nursing involvement forms part of the assessment and care planning.
We can consider complex-care packages. Acceptance depends on the person’s assessed needs, location, staffing, the competencies required, equipment, safe rostering and clinical arrangements. Some interventions are established capabilities; others need package-specific training and competency assessment before care can begin.
It depends on the person’s needs, the hours required, the location and whether an appropriate care team is available. Straightforward packages can be arranged relatively quickly once assessment and staffing are complete. Higher-acuity packages need specialist recruitment, training and competency sign-off first. We confirm a realistic start date after the assessment rather than promising one we cannot meet.
Care can be delivered 24 hours a day where that forms part of the agreed care package. Where continuous active support is required, we put an appropriate staffing and rota model in place rather than relying on one care professional for uninterrupted 24-hour active care.
We provide 24/7 operational support for existing care packages, which is a different thing from general enquiry availability. General enquiries are answered 9am–6pm daily; outside those hours there is an on-call route for urgent issues relating to care already in place. It is not an emergency medical service — in a medical emergency, call 999.
We do not promise that the same care professional will attend every visit. What we do is prioritise continuity: a small, consistent team built around the person wherever possible, with proper cover for leave, sickness and training, and we tell families when the team changes.
Depending on the person’s circumstances, care may be self-funded or arranged through routes such as local-authority funding or Direct Payments, NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), or a Personal Health Budget. We can explain the proposed service and provide provider information where a funding body or professional is involved. Eligibility and funding decisions themselves rest with the relevant local authority, NHS body or other authorised decision-maker.
