A regular friendly visitor can transform someone’s day. Our Care Professionals spend time doing things clients enjoy, from catching up over tea to helping with hobbies or getting out to local places like a stroll around Wat Tyler Park. We don’t wear uniforms, making outings feel natural and relaxed. As one client noted: “They arrive on time, stay the full time, and are always cheerful – ready to chat and make a good cup of tea.”
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.

Primarily our Care Professionals are there to listen and interact with our clients, providing them with a trusted, friendly face that can ease the feelings of isolation and loneliness you or your loved one may feel.
Older adults living alone won’t always need companionship care, it is often most beneficial for individuals who require more social interaction or feel isolated from friends and family.
