What a fantastic group of people They were always available and so supportive . Thank you for your endless aupport
What do you love most about your job?
Knowing that we are able to help people remain independent, so that they can stay in the home that they love and close to their family and friends. It is also really nice when our clients comment on how kind and generous spirited our carers are.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I began this business because many years ago I was looking after my mum and found that there was not adequate support for her to stay at home so running this business allows me to support people like her.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we are a kind and caring organisation and are professional in both the way we treat our clients and our carers, we want to be the place where carers choose to work rather than they feel they have to work.

Live In Care - A kinder way to age
Until recently as we reached the later stages of life, and could no longer cope at home, it may be that you would have to move, either in with family or into a residential care.
This can be a difficult time, being uprooted from familiar surroundings and regular routines and feeling like your independence is being taken away.
Live-in care allows you to stay in the comfort of your own home maintaining your independence and to continue living as normal life as possible all at a price that is usually less costly than a care home.

Visiting Care -Professionals you can trust
We help you remain in your own home, arranging care around your established routines, keeping disruption to a minimum. With the support of a care professional, you may be able to get out and about again – go shopping, attend social clubs and meet up with friends.
It takes a high level of trust to allow someone to care for you in your home – which is why we are thorough in undertaking checks on all care professionals. Right at the outset, you and your loved ones will be introduced to your care provider, so you can get to know one another. All our care professionals carry an identity card, and they will always knock on your door to announce their arrival. We take security issues, such as protecting key safe codes, very seriously, so your security will never be breached.
