Gracious Care

Gracious Care provides compassionate support to help people live independently at home with comfort and dignity.

Gracious Care was founded in Orpington in the London Borough of Bromley in 2018. Our location, central to the commuting area to the south-east of London, makes us ideally placed to serve a large population and also to recruit high quality, intelligent staff who care about their work and take a pride in making life so much easier for our customers.

🎉 80 and still smiling!

We couldn't resist sharing this joyful moment from one of our customers' milestone celebrations. A birthday hat, a favourite cuddly companion, and that brilliant grin say it all. 💙

A calm and comfortable evening routine starts with a little preparation. Whether you’re supporting a loved one at home or reviewing your own setup, here are some useful items to keep nearby overnight:

💧 A glass or bottle of water
📱 A phone or call button
🧻 Tissues or wipes
👓 Glasses or hearing aids
🕯️ A soft night light
🛎️ A bell or alert system
💊 Medication* (if needed and safe to store bedside)

It’s the little things that make all the difference - especially during the night when moving around can feel more difficult. 💚

We’ve all asked ourselves the same question—and if it’s tricky with one antibiotic, imagine juggling several doses a day.

At Gracious Care, we tailor our support to what each person needs. Whether it’s a phone call reminder or prompting during a scheduled visit, we’re here to help keep things on track.

When medication needs to be administered, our trained staff use electronic records to ensure no dose is missed—and no last-minute dashes to the pharmacy either.

When medication is managed properly, we often see remarkable improvements. And that’s what makes this service so important. 💚

Meet Tanika – Care Supervisor (Orpington) 💚

Tanika believes care work is more than a job - it’s a purpose. With empathy, compassion and a calm confidence, she helps customers feel supported while inspiring those around her to go the extra mile.

She’s passionate about creating meaningful moments and believes care has the power to uplift, encourage and strengthen both those receiving it and those providing it.

At Gracious Care, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support. Every visit is shaped around the person, not just the task list.

Whether it’s taking time for a cuppa and a chat, folding a blanket just how someone likes it, or knowing which mug is their favourite, these little details make a big difference.

Person-centred care means listening, adapting, and treating every individual with respect, dignity and compassion. It’s care that feels personal - because it is💚

Keeping the mind active is just as important as keeping the body moving — especially as we age. Here are a few light, engaging activities that support memory, focus and cognitive wellbeing:

🧩 Jigsaw puzzles – Great for problem-solving and pattern recognition
🃏 Matching cards or ‘Snap’ – Builds short-term memory and focus
🔠 Word searches & crosswords – Stimulates language recall
🎲 Board games – Encourages social interaction and strategic thinking

These games are easy to adapt to individual ability, and best of all, they’re fun! A great way to spend quality time together. 💚

Our Story

With over 32 years’ of experience in the Health and Social Care Sector I am well placed to offer the kind of service that I’ve always wanted to provide whilst working for other employers. I started out working for a London Borough in a department which is now called ‘the initial assessment team’. I have had the privilege of seeing the various disciplines of social work first hand and I was drawn to the care for the elderly specialisation.

I was inspired, and still am, by the life stories of seemingly ordinary folk. I’ve been fascinated to learn about their life histories and these have helped to shape my views and to inform my belief that the elderly, in many ways, have much to offer younger generations which we can certainly learn from. Even those suffering from dementia. Although living in the present might be a challenge and they might need a little help, they are often blessed with clear recollections that they are eager to share.

When I left the local authority, I moved into the private sector, working for some of the best-known homecare organisations and also for a charity operating in this field. Provision of the appropriate level of care and support is essential and I have an extensive experience of assessment for a wide range of care services spanning from ‘drop-in’ calls to multiple hours to cover complex needs. I’ve set up and managed a live-in care provision, maintaining many people’s independence, avoiding the need for residential care.

More than 10 years ago I joined one of the country’s largest franchised care providing companies, working for the franchisor, at first as a Business Development Manager, then as a Quality Manager with oversight of many franchised businesses. I found this rewarding in a new way: I was able to influence the delivery of high-quality care to a huge population. What I missed however was the personal relationship with those requiring the assistance and their families. As a result of these experiences I decided to set up Gracious Care. We aspire to be the best in the field, offering you or your spouse, your mum, your dad, your brother or sister, care with respect, compassion and a level of service ‘custom built’ to keep them at home amongst familiar surroundings and memories.
