The care we provide
Hourly home care
From one visit a day to several, in your own home, from a small team of familiar faces.
Live-in care
A carer who lives with you, so you can stay at home rather than move into a care home.
Dementia care at home
Steady routines and the same faces, which matter more than anything with memory loss.
After hospital
Extra support for a few weeks while you get back on your feet, arranged quickly.
What a day of visits looks like
About an hour
Morning visit
Getting up, washed and dressed, medication, and breakfast made the way you like it.
30 or 60 minutes
Lunch call
A hot meal, a check that medication has been taken, and a proper conversation.
30 minutes
Tea call
An evening meal, a tidy round, and help with anything left over from the day.
30 minutes
Bedtime call
Help to settle safely for the night, with everything needed within reach.
Free tools for families
Work out the hours, the cost and what help you may be entitled to, with no sign up and no phone call.
