Care at Home

We understand how daunting it can be when your loved one needs more care than you're able to provide. There are so many options and making the right decision for your familiy is not always obvious. 

Clients can have varying levels of need from no longer being able to use the vacuum cleaner or cook meals to not being safe to leave alone for more than a couple of hours. Whatever your loved ones needs we have a package that is right for them ensuring that they are able to stay in the safety and security of their own home whilst also receiving the care that they need.

We offer home care, over night and live in care options all provided with the same level of respect and dedication, and with your loved ones diginity and well being at the forefront. We are fully regulated by the CQC so you can be safe in the knowledge that our team provide the highest level of care.

Live In Care and Support

Do you or your loved one need more support than having a carer pop in for a couple of hours per day but are filled with anxiety at the prospect of a care home? Our live in care servces could be the solution.

For less than the cost of a care home we provide individual care to those needing support who wish to remain in the comfort and safety of their own home.

Our carer will 'live-in' and will therefore require their own room and provision of meals, this is, of course, reflected in the price of services with a significant reduction against the standard hourly rate.

Our services are tailored to your needs and we can provide as much or as little support as you require. As such we have created 3 levels of service to ensure that you only pay for what you need.

This is a real cost effective alternative to care home facilities where clients can remain in their own home while having one on one, individualised care. This is truly bespoke support providing companionship, support in day to day tasks and the knowledge that there is always someone on hand should the need arise.

Why have a home from home when you can just stay at home?
