Understanding
We have years of experience and we're here to help you every step of the way to improve quality of life. Our service aims to be as simple and stress free as possible.
Excellent Training
We carefully select Carers and train them through our exclusive Academy. We don't use agency or freelance staff to maintain our excellent quality reputation.
Quality Care
Our strict performance guidelines, Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings and transparency via our care monitoring app. give complete peace of mind.
Personalised Care
We personalise care to each individual client, remaining flexible and delivering all our services with compassion, dignity and respect.
Your Home Care choices
We provide a variety of care options - from Visiting Care to Live-in Care and much more. Explore your choices below and find out how we can help make life easier for you and your loved ones.
Personal Care Personal Care helps with daily living. We can help with tasks in the morning and throughout the day, ensuring dignity is maintained.
Personal Care Our dedicated care professionals in St Ives assist with personal and intimate daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing and continence. We also support with medication management.
Maintaining dignity and independence is our priority, and we tailor our services to your specific preferences. If you or your loved one like to style your hair a certain way or have a favourite shampoo, let us know - we're happy to help.
Live-in Care For those who prefer round the clock care, a Live-in Carer will move into your home to provide 24/7 in-home care services. This option allows you to stay connected to the local community in St Ives while receiving high quality care.
For many of our clients who need extra support, our Live-in Care service is a great alternative to a care home, enabling them to stay in their own homes while receiving professional support.
Live-in Care for couples is particularly cost effective when compared with the cost of a care home for two people.
Overnight Care Our Overnight Carers offer reassurance and peace of mind during the dark, night time hours.
Whether you choose Sleeping Nights, where a Carer sleeps in your home, or Waking Nights, where the Carer remains awake, help is available whenever you need it.
Domestic Care Managing the activities of daily living can be overwhelming, especially as we get older. Our friendly Team helps with light housekeeping, like laundry and changing bed sheets, as well as daily tasks like meal preparation. This allows you to enjoy family life and maintain your daily routines without interruption.
We're committed to providing quality care that makes a positive difference to people's lives and helps make life easier.
Dementia Care We understand the challenges of living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Our professional, compassionate Carers provide assistance with daily living activities, medication reminders and companion services, ensuring a better experience for vulnerable adults.
If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, you may find they need extra assistance with everyday life at home to live safely. We believe receiving Dementia Care at Home helps keep some comfort and familiarity as other things inevitably change.
Palliative Care Our expertly trained Palliative Carers provide as much or as little assistance as you or your loved one needs to navigate a life limiting illness at home. We aim to help ease the burden while maximising comfort during a difficult time.
Our Carers can provide ongoing Palliative Care that manages symptoms and pain, as well as End of Life Care and At Home Hospice Care to support with the later stages of a terminal illness.
We focus on making life easier so you can focus on the things that matter most.
Respite Care Providing regular care can be rewarding, but everyone needs a break from time to time. Respite Care was developed for this reason, allowing family caregivers to have regular respite breaks while a care professional steps into their role. If you receive most of your care from family members or friends, Respite Care ensures that more intimate tasks are completed by a professional caregiver to maintain dignity.
Our Respite Care in St Ives can be arranged quickly if needed, depending on your specific needs. Talk to our dedicated Team to discuss your care requirements.
Companion Care We understand that loneliness and isolation can be challenging. Our Companion Care service offers great company, from enjoying conversation over a cup of tea to providing emotional support during moments of need. Our compassionate Caregivers provide a friendly face and a listening ear, helping you or your loved one feel connected and cared for.
Our Team goes beyond the basics. We can take you or your loved one out for a day trip to a local attraction, or to attend a local community event. These outings have a positive impact on mental wellbeing and strengthen relationships.
We also offer a variety of other care options aimed to help improve quality of life for older adults as well as those living with physical disabilities or mental health issues. These include:
Familiar faces. Regular routines. Local community. Home Care enables you or your loved one to receive support in the comfort and familiarity of home. This can be especially reassuring after the stress and anxiety of an emergency or diagnosis and is less disruptive than attending a day centre or moving into a residential care home.
Maintain routines
Having a condition that affects memory, like dementia or Alzheimer's, means it can be easy to forget basic personal or household tasks like bathing, taking medication or eating meals regularly. Our compassionate Carers provide gentle reminders and medication prompts to ensure consistent routines in familiar surroundings.
Maintain independence
Home Care options enable you or your loved one to remain at home to live life safely on their own terms with a better quality of life. Instead of moving into an unfamiliar facility, like a care home, they can stay at home with the right level of support. Our Carers will encourage them to maintain independence and offer support as and when it's needed.
Personalised support
Care at Home means your loved one receives professional, personalised support. If they're recovering from surgery, Home Care can ease their recovery in a safe and comfortable environment. Our Care Team will work with you to develop a bespoke care plan that ensures our services meet your or your loved one's unique needs.
Peace of mind
Our Home Care service provides valuable reassurance that your loved one's needs are being met, even in your absence. Our care monitoring app. guides Carers to make notes and record observations. With permission, it even lets families track care in real time so you know your loved one is safe, whenever and wherever you are.
Preserve relationships
Loved ones can sometimes feel that performing intimate tasks like washing and dressing changes the dynamic of long lasting relationships. Professional Home Care can help maintain relationships as they've always been, with a trained professional Carer stepping in for certain tasks, helping preserve the dignity of the person receiving care.

The cost of Care at Home in St Ives will vary according to individual needs. The cost will be determined by the level of support that's needed from our Carers and the length of time they're needed. Our services are competitively priced and provide excellent value for the care we deliver.
Home Care can be a cost effective alternative to a day care centre or residential care home, especially if help is only needed for a short time. Our Care Team will work with you to find a personalised care plan that suits your requirements, routine and budget.
Learn more about the cost of Home Care by completing our cost calculator. When you get in touch, we can arrange a free no obligation home visit to discuss your needs in more detail.
Choosing the right care option can feel overwhelming, especially when exploring options for the first time. The right care should feel supportive rather than restrictive, maintaining as much independence and familiarity as possible while providing help that's genuinely needed. Whether care needs are minimal or more complex, understanding the options available will help you make an informed choice that respects personal preferences, lifestyle and budget.
Visiting & Live-in Care Visiting Care offers flexible hourly assistance, while Live-in Care provides 24/7 support from a dedicated Carer living in the home. Both services include Personal Care, medication reminders, help with daily living and much more. This option allows individuals to maintain their independence, routines and connection to the community while receiving professional support in the comfort of home.
Day Care Centres Day care centres provide a structured environment where individuals receive care during the day. They offer an alternative for those who live alone or whose family caregivers need respite. Individuals can participate in group activities, enjoy meals and benefit from social interaction. They allow individuals to maintain independence at home while ensuring they have supervision during the day.
Residential Care Residential care involves moving into a specialist facility like a care home or nursing home where round the clock support from carers or nurses is available. Residents typically have their own private room while benefitting from shared spaces for eating meals and social activities. This may suit individuals with complex medical conditions, such as advanced dementia, or those who need specialist care.
Assisted Living Care Assisted living can be offered to someone in their own home or in specific assisted living accommodation; facilities may offer private apartments where residents maintain independence while having access to support services. This may be suitable for those who find their current home difficult to manage - perhaps it's too large to maintain - but who don't require intensive nursing or specialist care.
