Why choose us

Choosing care for yourself or a loved one is a big decision. We believe care should feel personal, unhurried, and genuinely kind, not rushed or impersonal. That’s exactly how we work.

Care built on trust

We understand that inviting someone into your home requires total confidence. Every member of our team is fully DBS checked, carefully vetted, and trained to the highest standards, so you can feel safe and reassured from day one.

Familiar faces, meaningful relationships

We prioritise consistency of carers, because real care is built on relationships. Seeing the same friendly faces helps our clients feel comfortable, understood, and respected not just “looked after”.

We take the time that care deserves

We don’t believe in rushing people. Our visits are person-centred, not task-driven, allowing time for conversation, companionship, and care done properly with dignity and patience.

Care that fits around you

No two people are the same, so neither is our care. We create truly personalised care plans shaped around individual needs, routines, preferences, and life stories ensuring care feels natural, not intrusive.

A team that genuinely cares

We look after our staff properly, because happy, supported carers provide better care. Our team is valued, well-trained, and passionate about what they do and it shows in every visit.

Open, honest communication

Families are kept informed and involved. We believe in clear communication, transparency, and accountability, so you’re never left wondering how things are going.

Rooted in our community

We’re proud to be a local care provider that believes in giving back. From community involvement to supporting wellbeing initiatives, we care deeply about the people and places we serve.

Our promise

We don’t just deliver care we build trust, relationships, and peace of mind.

Life changes in an instant after a haemorrhagic stroke, and around half of people who are affected do not survive.

Thankfully, when it happened to Natalie's dad in 2025, he did survive.

'I'd been in the office all day,' Natalie remembers. She rang her parents to check in on them, 'We were scheduled to go on a trip that we were all excited about.'

Her parents explained that her dad had been feeling unwell throughout the day and was not quite himself. He was dizzy, frequently bumping into things, had a severe headache, and his blood pressure was very high when they tested it on a home monitor.

Because her dad did not have the three most common signs of stroke—face drooping, arm weakness, and speech problems, known as the FAST test—no one initially suspected a stroke.

At first, her parents were reluctant to contact a health professional, wanting to ‘avoid making a fuss’. But after some convincing, they rang 111.

An appointment was made for Urgent Care, which was quickly escalated to an A&E visit.

'When I arrived to pick them up,' Natalie said, 'they explained an ambulance had been offered but, not wanting to inconvenience anyone, they turned it down.' So Natalie drove her parents to a regional hospital further away.

Once there, after initial tests, the seriousness of the situation became clear. In a small consultation room in the early hours of the morning, Natalie was told her dad 'has a large and severe brain bleed'.

‘The news came as a huge shock and the effects will impact us forever as we navigate this new version of family life.’

Natalie admits that before it happened, she had ‘limited knowledge of strokes… but the parts I did know about, like FAST, were not relevant when my dad had a “massive brain bleed”.

'I felt compelled to create this sketchnote as I don’t think any of us could have predicted his stroke from his symptoms, because they didn't align with the traditional FAST signs.

‘Of course, a little cartoon in a sketchnote can’t fully convey everything we saw that day, or how my dad felt,’ she says, ‘but if it helps even one person become more aware of the lesser-known signs of stroke, then it will be worth it.’

Did you know there are many different types of dementia?

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently.

This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

Dementia looks different for everyone, so a person’s symptoms may not look exactly as they are described here.

However by knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

Save this post for later, and if you’d like more info visit our website or give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

What is dementia?💙

Dementia is not a single disease, but a general term for a group of conditions that cause a decline in mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life.

What happens in dementia

Dementia affects the brain and commonly leads to problems with:
• Memory (especially recent memories)
• Thinking and reasoning
• Language and communication
• Judgment and decision-making
• Orientation (time, place, people)
• Behavior and personality

These changes usually worsen over time.

Common types of dementia
• Alzheimer’s disease – the most common type
• Vascular dementia – caused by reduced blood flow to the brain (e.g., after strokes)
• Lewy body dementia
• Frontotemporal dementia
• Mixed dementia – more than one type at the same time

What causes dementia

Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, which interferes with how brain cells communicate. The cause depends on the type, such as protein buildup (Alzheimer’s) or blood vessel damage (vascular dementia).

What dementia is not
• It is not a normal part of aging
• It is not just memory loss (it affects many brain functions)
• It is not always irreversible, though most common types are progressive

Early signs
• Forgetting recent events or conversations
• Difficulty finding words
• Getting lost in familiar places
• Trouble managing finances or daily tasks
• Changes in mood or personality

Can it be treated?

There is no cure for most dementias, but:
• Some medications can slow symptoms
• Early diagnosis helps with planning and support
• Some causes (like vitamin deficiencies or infections) are treatable
