Care at Home Services

We’ve been providing home support to people in their own homes for the last 35 years and now employ over 1000 staff, providing more than 1.4 million hours of support each year. We currently operate around 30 Care at Home services across the UK.

Our commitment to the individual

The needs and preferences of the people who use our services are at the heart of all that we do. We are committed to actively supporting personal choice and independence, meeting the physical, emotional and social needs.

We’ll always fully involve the individual in drawing up a care and support plan that answers their own particular requirements.

Who we support

We support a wide range of client groups including:

  • People with physical and sensory impairments
  • Older people
  • People with learning disabilities
  • Children
  • People with dementia
  • People leaving hospital

For me, living in my own home means more than anything else, and I can do this because I have support staff who value my independence as much as I do.
