Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC, The Good Care Group delivers personalised care through experienced local teams. Small client portfolios give our Care Managers more time to provide close, one-to-one support centred around each person’s needs and routines. Get in touch to find out more.
For over 15 years, The Good Care Group has been helping people in Basingstoke receive high-quality live in care without having to leave the comfort of their own home. Every client receives one-to-one care built around their individual circumstances, from their health and care needs to their usual routines, personal choices and social preferences. This allows people to continue living in a way that feels familiar while receiving support that promotes independence and wellbeing.
Our service has achieved an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission in all five key areas – safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Families in Basingstoke can therefore feel reassured that their loved one’s care is backed by recognised standards of quality.
Our specialist care in Basingstoke is centred on the individual and how they want to live, not simply the condition they are managing. We support people living with dementia, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), together with those who require stroke care, cancer care or palliative care. Our trained carers provide support that helps protect dignity, independence and quality of life at home.
People with complex medical needs can also benefit from our nurse-led care in Basingstoke. A Specialist Consultant Nurse provides clinical leadership and works alongside our care teams to help improve health outcomes and ensure the right level of support is maintained.
We also provide care for mobility and frailty needs, convalescent care in Basingstoke during recovery from surgery, and companionship care at home. In every case, support is tailored to help the person continue with familiar routines and live as independently as possible.
Our live-in carers support people across Basingstoke with a broad range of care needs. To make sure your support is right for you, a Care Manager will visit your home for a free consultation and create a personalised care plan based on your needs, wishes and everyday routines.
Our local live-in care team in Basingstoke is managed by a Regional Care Manager and supported by our central team. The services available in the area include:
This includes task-oriented care, such as bathing, dressing and continence support, as well as self-esteem care – including nail and hair grooming.
Our carers are matched to your values and interests so that you’re supported with emotional and psychological needs.
Professional carers use an electronic system for proactive medication management, which is closely monitored by care managers.
Your carer will plan and cook meals according to your choice, preferences and nutritional needs, all served at a time that suits you.
Carers will happily support looking after your pet, including dog walking, cleaning their homes and providing regular food and love.
Staying connected to your community is great for your well-being, which is why our carers will support you to access activities you enjoy.
Light housework, watering your plants and taking the bins out – keeping your house to the standards of cleanliness and tidiness you always have.
Ensuring safe mobility in and around your home, including assistance with mobility aids and avoiding slips, trips and fall hazards.
There are several different situations when live in care can be used to support your care and support needs, including:
While we provide care across England and Scotland, our approach in Basingstoke is centred on dedicated local support. Keeping Care Manager portfolios small allows them to spend more time with each client, remain closely involved in their care and provide a more responsive and personalised service.
Our carers in Basingstoke all complete the same rigorous training programme before working with clients, irrespective of their previous experience. This helps ensure they are prepared to support a range of age-related and complex conditions, including needs that require closer monitoring and ongoing care.
Training and development continue throughout each carer’s time with The Good Care Group. From probation and placement onwards, they are supported to develop new skills and continually improve the quality of care they provide.
We provide live-in care throughout Basingstoke and the surrounding areas, including, but not limited to:
The Good Care Group is dedicated to delivering high-quality live-in care across Basingstoke and the wider area. Our standards have been recognised through a range of industry accreditations and awards, giving families confidence in the care, support and expertise we provide.
Watch our video to find out what we believe makes great live-in care.
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.
One of the key benefits of live-in care in Basingstoke is the freedom to continue living life in your own way. With one-to-one support in place, care can be planned around your routines, preferences and social life, without the upheaval of leaving your home or adjusting to the shared schedules of a residential setting.
Couples can also remain together in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised support. Where both partners need care, live-in care may offer better value than funding two separate residential placements, with only a modest additional fee for caring for a couple in the same home.
Across Basingstoke, local charities provide a valuable range of services for older people and those supporting them. This can include information about health conditions, advice on care and financial support, practical assistance and opportunities to stay involved in the local community, helping people retain greater independence and confidence.
The following charities in Basingstoke may be useful sources of information, guidance and support for you and your family:
When someone needs increasing levels of care, deciding what happens next can be difficult for the whole family. According to the Live In Care Hub, 97% of us would prefer to receive that care in our own home. Although there are many good care homes in Basingstoke, live-in care provides another option, enabling people to remain where they feel most comfortable with one-to-one support tailored around their needs, preferences and daily life.
