    We pride our ourselves on the ability of our branch manager being able to select the right carer to suit your practical and emotional needs. Compatible personalities are what can make the difference between a good carer and an excellent carer that you can really build a rapport with.

    Domiciliary support in Harpenden

    Domiciliary care is more than just care, it provides you with the care you need to feel safe, secure, and independent in your home. With visits available from 30 minutes all the way up to overnight stays, the team can work with you to build a personalised care plan that gives you the support you need to remain comfortable at home.

    Traditionally known as visiting care, domiciliary care gives you flexibility and control over your care. With no restrictions on visitors, mealtimes, menus or daily schedules, the details of your care are in the control of the person who matters most – you.

    One-to-one dementia care from our specialists

    Understanding the symptoms of dementia can be a daunting time for all involved. But as a recognised dementia care specialist, we’ve been supporting people living with the many different variants of the condition for over 30 years – so we understand the need for consistent and personalised care.

    There are over 100 different variants of dementia and they each affect people in different ways. One person may need gentle reminders to take their medication, whilst another person may need more intensive support with feeding, washing and dressing. With bespoke dementia care from the team, we provide a personalised service that is always unique to the individual, taking all of your needs, preferences and routines into account.

    Elderly care to support your independence

    As we grow older, our minds and bodies change and can often have an impact on our day-to-day life. Whether you have recently received a diagnosis for a progressive condition and you are beginning to look into long-term care options, or you simply need a helping hand to help you with your household chores; elderly care from our Harpenden team ensures that you have person-centred care that caters for all of your needs.

    Respite care for short-term breaks

    Although it can be extremely rewarding, we understand that providing constant care for your loved one can be a lot to take on. And if you have other commitments such as children and a full time job, it can be overwhelming.

    Respite care, arranged on a short-term basis, allows you to take some time away to recharge your batteries, but still have the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is still receiving great care.

    Respite care is also available if you’re due to be discharged from hospital following an illness or injury, or you would like to visit a family event such as a birthday or a wedding but don’t feel comfortable going alone. Whatever it is you need, our Harpenden team will work with you to put a personalised respite care package in place that gives you the support you need, for as long as you need it.
