No. Care needs change — especially in urgent situations. We offer flexible arrangements without long-term contracts, allowing you to adjust or stop care as your situation evolves.
In non-urgent situations, yes. For emergency same-day care we prioritise getting help to you immediately, but carers are always briefed on your needs and preferences.
Our carers
We aim to provide consistency wherever possible. For ongoing care we assign a small team of regular carers. For emergency care we prioritise speed first, then work to establish consistency quickly.
We want you to feel comfortable. If you are not happy with a carer for any reason, tell us and we will arrange an alternative. Client satisfaction is paramount.
Care types
Live-in care means a carer lives in your home 24/7, providing round-the-clock support and companionship. Visiting care involves carers visiting your home at scheduled times for specific tasks. Live-in care is often more cost-effective than multiple daily visits.
We are extremely flexible. If needs increase or decrease we can adjust the care package quickly — especially important for people recovering from illness or surgery.
Yes. Our trained carers can assist with medication management, including reminders and administration according to your care plan and prescriber instructions.
Yes. Many of our carers have specialist dementia training. We provide compassionate, person-centred dementia care at home, including overnight and live-in options.
Yes. Our carers are trained in all aspects of personal care including washing, dressing, toileting and continence care. We always maintain dignity and respect.
Costs
We invoice weekly or monthly depending on your preference. We can also work with local authority funding or NHS Continuing Healthcare if applicable. Payment is typically by bank transfer.
Working together
Absolutely. We liaise with GPs, district nurses, occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care.
All our carers are trained in emergency procedures. We have 24/7 on-call management support, and carers know when to call emergency services. Your care plan includes emergency protocols specific to your needs.
