Having the same Care Professional means they get to know exactly how you like things done – whether that’s the perfect shower temperature or which outfit combinations work best for you. We take time to learn about your routines and preferences, adapting our support to match what works for you. Many of our clients tell us that over time, having help with washing, dressing or personal care just becomes a normal part of their day, thanks to the consistent, friendly support from their regular Care Professional.
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.

On homecare.co.uk, Elaine E described how her Care Professional “happily tends to my needs without constant instruction and has become increasingly aware of my ever-changing condition.” She emphasised that “caring for someone in their own home is not just a list of tasks,” highlighting how our Care Professionals provide support that’s both practical and personal.
