Every aspect of our support is tailored to your loved one’s individual preferences – from their preferred washing powder to their favourite shops on Lewisham High Street. Our Care Professionals take time to notice the little things that matter, whether that’s checking post isn’t piling up and bills going missed, ensuring medication is being taken, or ensuring the bins go out on time. These regular visits offer valuable opportunities to keep a reassuring eye on well-being, spotting any changes early while maintaining your loved one’s independence.
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.
