Discover a compassionate, expert-led approach to cancer care with The Good Care Group. Contact us today, and learn how care at home can support your loved one.
At The Good Care Group, we understand that a cancer diagnosis can be life-changing. But, with high quality nurse-led care, you can continue to live well at home, with independence and dignity.
When you choose cancer care at home, one of our experienced care managers will work with you to understand your medical needs, routines, and wishes. Then, similar to our live in care service, a highly-skilled carer will move into the home to provide full-time support.
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. When the body’s normal control mechanisms stop working, old cells do not die, and instead form new abnormal cells. These cells may form a mass tissue (tumour), or begin in the blood, immune system, or bone, depending on the cancer type. There are various signs and symptoms of cancer. Here are some symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer:
According to Macmillan, almost 3.5 million people are living with cancer in the UK. With 420,000 people diagnosed each year.
For over fifteen years, we’ve supported hundreds of families across England and Scotland with exceptional home care.

Receiving cancer care in the comfort and familiarity of your own home provides many benefits. From staying in the place you love, to maintaining your daily routine with one-to-one support.
Our regional care managers have extensive experience in the industry, and work closely with our care managers to ensure your loved ones receive the highest quality of care.
With award-winning cancer care, you can maintain your independence and quality of life in the place you love most.
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
Our cancer care service is designed to be highly-personalised and tailored to your specific needs. We’ll conduct a free care consultation before care starts to develop a detailed care plan, which can include various types of support to help you during your day-to-day life, such as:
Our complex care services are guided by in-house Clinical Lead, Sabah Shah, who specialises in complex care. By working closely alongside care managers and carers, Sabah ensures loved ones receive the best care possible.
We offer a range of home care services for those living with cancer. From 24-hour live-in care and short-term care to respite care, which allows a family carer to take a much-needed break.
Short-term care services can also provide the opportunity to experience how live-in care works and whether it is the right choice for you.
Cancer care is a form of specialist care, and typically carries a higher cost of care compared to other home care services. However, live-in care can offer better value than traditional hourly care services. This is because other care providers tend to include “extra” charges that can exceed the price of a fully-personalised live-in service.
Our cancer care cost is typically in line with – and sometimes more cost-effective than – residential home care. We provide a level of dedicated, one-to-one attention that residential care simply cannot replicate, ensuring you remain safe and comfortable in the home you love.
The UK’s leading cancer charity, Cancer Research, provides information, support and advice to those living with cancer. With plenty of free publications on their website, you’ll find information about prevention, treatments and a range of support services available across the country.
Marie Curie is a charity that provides care and support for those living with terminal illness, including cancer. Marie Curie nurses are available to those affected by cancer to provide medical care, as well as all the emotional support you and your family may need, all in the comfort of your own home.
Cancer Support UK provides practical and emotional support to people living with cancer focused on helping them through their treatment period. Their Cancer Coach programme is an eight-week structured support and resilience course, delivered by phone for people nearing the end of cancer treatment or for those who have finished their treatment.
We believe everyone deserves to receive compassionate care in the comfort of their own home, especially when facing an illness like cancer. Recently, our Clinical Lead, Sabah Shah, spoke with Cancer Care Map, offering valuable insights into how The Good
