Your Care South West LTD

Your Care South West LTD Providing compassionate 1:1 care at home since 2014. Expert support, guidance, and resources for life’s challenges. Thoughtful care, from our family to yours.

Creating a safe, dignified, and meaningful life for your loved ones - every step of the way. 💜 Your Care is a rapidly expanding local company founded to change the way care was delivered by offering clients choices and putting them in control. We take great pride in the service we provide to our clients and now have expanded that service to reflect the needs of modern life. We offer support and assistance to enable our clients to live their life how they want to. Whether that be supporting busy families by taking on domestic chores so they have quality time together, collecting children from school enabling you to work, taking care of a loved ones personal care so you can spend quality time together, or assisting you to live independently at home. We know taking the first step in having a stranger in your home is very daunting, we aim to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. All of our assistants are fully vetted and have had an enhanced criminal records check with both adults and children. We meet our clients to discuss their needs and preferences, match these with one of our experienced assistants, introduce them to each other to ensure both parties are happy, then implement the arrangement. We regularly check you are happy with the arrangement and endeavour to provide the same assistant each visit for your peace of mind. We like to keep in close contact with our clients and our assistants ensuring our high standards are met at all times and your complete satisfaction. You are not tied to lengthy contracts, you simply buy the support as and when you need it. It can be a one off visit, long term or short term, you decide.

When you’re arranging support for someone you love, reliability suddenly matters in a whole new way.

It’s not just about someone being kind or experienced. It’s about knowing they’ll turn up when they say they will, feeling confident they won’t be rushed, and having a routine that feels settled rather than unpredictable.

That’s one of the reasons we only introduce local, self-employed carers.

Because they live and work in the area, they’re not travelling long distances between visits or juggling unrealistic schedules. For many families, that alone brings a bit of reassurance. It reduces last-minute stress and helps support feel more consistent, which is especially important when dementia is part of the picture.

Having all worked as frontline carers in the past, we’ve seen how much difference familiarity and routine make. Seeing the same face, building trust gradually, and having support that feels friendly rather than formal can change how someone experiences their whole day.

Staying local also allows us to make more thoughtful introductions. We’re focused on South Glos, Bristol and the surrounding areas we know well, not trying to cover everywhere. That means we can take the time to think about who is most likely to suit your situation, rather than simply who happens to be available.

If you’re not sure where to start, ring us on 0117 9477422. We’ll listen first, then explain the next step. No pressure. Or if you’d rather message first, send us a Facebook message and we’ll get back to you.

💛 Happy Work Anniversary, Tom! 💛

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone. Tom is marking 11 years with the Your Care family, and we couldn’t let the day pass without saying a huge thank you.
Over the past 11 years, Tom has supported so many people to live well at home, bringing kindness, consistency and genuine care into their everyday lives. It’s the little things. The familiar face. The patience. The way they really get what matters to our clients and their families.

We’re so proud to have you as part of our team.

Tom, thank you for everything you do and for being such a valued part of our family. Here’s to many more years together 💛

One of the first things families say to us is, “I’m just scared of getting it wrong.”

Not wrong in a dramatic way, but wrong in the everyday sense. Letting the wrong person into the house. Choosing someone who doesn’t quite fit. Agreeing to something and then feeling awkward or stuck because it doesn’t feel right.

That worry makes sense. You’re not choosing a product, you’re inviting someone into your home to support someone you love.

As a local introduction agency, we take time to understand what you need, then we introduce you to a self-employed carer who feels like a good fit.

When families ring us, we don’t jump straight into timetables. We talk things through first. We ask what’s been happening, what feels hard at the moment, and what you’re hoping support might help with. Sometimes people aren’t even sure what they need yet, they just know something has to change.

Because we’ve all worked as frontline carers in the past, we understand that a good match isn’t just about experience on paper. It’s about personality, pace, confidence, and how someone makes your loved one feel.

We don’t work from a list of names. We take time to get to know each of our self-employed carers, their experience, their availability, and the type of support they’re comfortable offering.

Our test is a simple one, would we be happy with this person supporting our own parent? If the answer isn’t a clear yes, we keep looking.

If you’re not sure where to start, ring us on 0117 9477422. We’ll listen first, then explain the next step. No pressure. Or if you’d rather message first, send us a Facebook message and we’ll get back to you.

21/12/2025

When people hear "home care," they often picture personal care - help with washing and dressing. And yes, that's part of it. But it's so much more than that.

Last Tuesday, one of our carers, Sarah, arrived at Mr. Thompson's house at 10am, just like she does every Tuesday and Thursday. She helped him get washed and dressed, made sure he'd taken his medication, then cooked him a proper breakfast - scrambled eggs, just how he likes them.

While the washing machine was on, they went through his post together. There was a hospital appointment letter that needed transport organising, a birthday card to write to his grandson, and a reminder about the bins going out. Sarah helped him with all of it.

Before she left, she noticed the lightbulb in the hallway had gone. She changed it, checked the fridge for anything out of date, and made him a flask of tea to keep him going until lunchtime.

That's what home care actually looks like.

It's the practical stuff - cooking, cleaning, laundry, medication reminders, getting to appointments. But it's also the things that keep life normal - helping someone stay on top of their bills, making sure they're eating properly, noticing when something's not quite right.

For families, it's knowing that Dad's not struggling alone. It's having someone who spots the small things, like Mum wearing the same clothes three days running, or the bruise that needs checking. It's having consistent, reliable support from people who genuinely care.

We don't do 15-minute visits. We don't rush in and out. Our carers visit at the same time, on the same days, every week. They get to know your loved one - their routines, their quirks, what makes them feel safe.

Home care isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about keeping people independent, safe, and connected to the life they know.

If you've been wondering whether home care is right for your loved one, or you're not sure what it would actually involve, we're here to talk it through with no pressure.

✨ Sunday Reset ✨

If you’re supporting a loved one at home, Sundays can feel less like a reset and more like preparing for another busy week ahead.

Before everything starts again tomorrow, take one quiet moment just for you.
Close your eyes.
Breathe in calm.
Breathe out the worry you’ve been carrying all week.

Caring for someone you love is full on. It takes emotional energy, physical energy, and time… and it’s OK if you’re tired. It’s OK if you need help. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

If you can carve out even five minutes today, let this be your reminder that you matter too.

And when you’re ready for a little more support at home, we’re here to make life feel lighter for you and your family.

💚 Thoughtful care, from our family to yours.

Most people don’t ring looking for care because everything’s going well.

They ring because they’re exhausted, worried, or they’ve reached that point where they know they can’t keep doing it all on their own. Often they’ve been putting the call off for weeks, telling themselves they should cope a bit longer.

So when the phone rings in our Hanham office, we already know it’s not “just a call”.

You won’t get a call centre, a script, or someone rushing you. You’ll usually speak to Leah or Mollie, alongside Claire and Tina, and the first thing we do is listen properly.

All four of us in the office have worked as frontline carers in the past, supporting older people in their own homes. That experience shapes how we work now. We understand what it’s really like at home, not just how it looks on paper.

People ring us feeling all sorts, worried, tired, sometimes upset, and that’s completely understandable. We don’t judge and we don’t rush. We keep things straightforward and talk things through in a way that feels manageable.

If you’re not sure where to start, ring us on 0117 9477422. We’ll listen first, then explain the next step. No pressure. Or if you’d rather message first, send us a Facebook message and we’ll get back to you.

💚 Real Stories, Real Care

We recently heard from a daughter who had been using a registered care agency for the past 18 months to support her mum living with dementia.

Although she appreciated the help, she felt things could be done differently. Communication was poor, her mum’s changing needs weren’t being recognised, and she often found herself butting heads with the care manager.

After learning more about how we work, she decided to try a different approach by choosing self-employed Personal Assistants through Your Care.

This meant she could meet the carers herself, decide who she felt most comfortable with, and know exactly who would be walking through her mum’s front door.

We officially started supporting her mum last week, and here’s what she has shared already:

💬 “I am overwhelmed with the care Mum has received and the commitment from your staff.”

This lovely feedback came after our team asked for advice about her mum’s eating habits, made suggestions to encourage better nutrition, and offered extra visits while the daughter was away to make sure her mum was well looked after.

She told us how grateful she feels to finally have open communication and carers who genuinely listen and adapt to her mum’s changing needs. 💚

If you’re looking for a more personal approach to care and want to know who’s coming through your loved one’s front door, we’d love to help.

“I’m not a child colouring in.”

If you’ve ever heard your mum say that, she’s not being awkward. She’s telling the truth. She doesn’t feel old. Not in her mind. Not in her memories. Not in the part of her that still feels 40.

So when she walks into a room full of colouring sheets, glue sticks and singalongs, of course she says no. She’s not a sitter. She’s a doer.

That is exactly why we built our Living Well Days Dementia Day Centre in Hanham differently.

Our Living Well Days are small dementia day centre sessions designed around safe movement, not just keeping people occupied. No colouring in. No “keep them busy” activities. Just soft sports style games that tap into instinct, muscle memory and the part of them that still wants to join in rather than sit out.

They throw. They kick. They reach. They move. They laugh. And underneath all the fun, something far more important is happening. Movement. Strength. Balance. Confidence. All the things that help reduce the risk of falls and keep people independent for longer.

To make it easier for families to try, we offer a FREE taster session and 50% off the first four sessions. It gives you the chance to see how your mum gets on without the full cost upfront.

If your mum has ever said, “I’m not sitting doing colouring in with old people,” she is exactly who our weekly Living Well Days Dementia Day Centre at Hanham Community Centre was created for.

🌿 Reconnecting Through Sport: Why Staying Active Still Matters After Dementia

At Your Care, we believe that age and dementia should never mean sitting on the sidelines. Every Tuesday from 10am to 2pm at Hanham Community Centre, our dementia day centre comes alive with movement, laughter, and gentle teamwork that spark connection and joy.

For many families, dementia can feel like slowly losing parts of a loved one. But when someone picks up a ball, hears a cheer from a teammate, or spots the colours of an old team jersey, something beautiful happens. They come alive. Memories resurface, smiles return, and a sense of belonging fills the room.

For us, staying active is not about fitness or competition. It is about purpose, confidence, and connection. Gentle movement helps improve mood, coordination, and focus, but most of all it reminds every person that they are seen, valued, and capable.

For families, it brings peace of mind knowing their loved one is not just cared for, but celebrated for who they are today.

At Your Care, we are more than a day centre. We are a community where stories continue, friendships grow, and every person matters every single Tuesday. 💛

If you would like to learn more about our Living Well Days at Hanham Community Centre, or how we can support your loved one, we would love to hear from you.

Dementia brings changes that can leave families confused and worried.
Repeating questions. Forgetting steps in familiar tasks. New habits that seem completely out of character.

These moments can feel overwhelming when no one has explained what they actually mean.

But the truth is, there are reasons behind these behaviours.
And once you understand the “why”, supporting your loved one becomes far easier and far less frightening.

Our book, After the Diagnosis: Your Guide to Living with Dementia, breaks down the early changes in a clear, simple way and gives you practical ways to help at home.

It’s the calm reassurance families need when they are trying to make sense of everything.

If you’re noticing new behaviours and you’re not sure what they mean, this guide will help you find clarity, confidence and a way forward.

💚 Thoughtful care, from our family to yours.

🌿 Shirley’s Story: The Power of a Little Support at the Right Time 🌿

Back in September, Shirley got in touch after coming home from a hospital stay. She was doing well, but still felt a little unsteady on her feet and wanted some extra reassurance while she built her confidence back up.

Her family and friends were supporting her beautifully, but she needed someone there on the days when she felt unsure or needed a hand with the simple things.

For eight weeks, Maria, one of our lovely Personal Assistants, visited Shirley twice a week. Nothing dramatic. Just the kind of everyday support that quietly makes life feel easier.

A bit of washing up. Putting the rubbish out. Keeping things safe and tidy. A cup of tea and a chat. Whatever Shirley needed that day.

Week by week, she felt stronger. Brighter. More like herself again.

And recently, Shirley called to tell us the happiest news. She felt confident enough to manage independently again, with her family and friends popping in through the week as her support network. Exactly how she wanted it to be.

Stories like this remind us how powerful a little support can be when someone is settling back in at home. Sometimes it only takes a few weeks of thoughtful, steady help to rebuild confidence and independence.

And a huge thank you to Maria and all of our wonderful PAs who make moments like this possible. Your warmth and patience change lives every single day.

💚 If you or a loved one are returning home from hospital and would like gentle support to regain confidence at home, we’re here to help.

Making a ‘Splash’ in home care!

At some time in our lives, we all need a little more help than usual. Perhaps you’ve injured yourself and your family live far away, or you are recovering from illness or have mobility issues. It’s so important, if you need outside help, to find an assistant or carer you can trust, and who can visit you when you need them.

Fortunately, Your Care understands the need for good, supportive carers. Your Care are a family owned and run agency based in North East Bristol, who can introduce you to carers and assistants who can help you with tasks which are perhaps not as manageable as they used to be.

Established in 2014, Your Care Home Support Services have been making a real difference to the way people live their lives.

How we work?
