Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC, The Good Care Group provides personalised care in Wokingham through dedicated local teams. With experienced Care Managers and small client portfolios, we ensure thoughtful, one-to-one support centred around each person’s needs and preferences. Get in touch to learn more.
The Good Care Group has been providing high-quality live in care to people in Wokingham for more than 15 years, supporting them to remain safely and comfortably in the home they know best. Our care is provided on a one-to-one basis and shaped around the individual, from their care needs and daily routines to their personal preferences, interests and wishes. This allows people to retain their independence while receiving the right level of support for their health and wellbeing.
Our live-in care services are rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission across all five key areas: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. This offers families in Wokingham valuable reassurance about the quality and consistency of care their loved one receives.
When someone is living with a specialist condition, being able to stay in familiar surroundings can provide important continuity and reassurance. Our trained care teams in Wokingham support people with dementia, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), as well as those who need stroke care, cancer care or palliative care. Every care plan is personalised, taking account of both clinical requirements and the everyday things that matter to the individual.
Where more advanced clinical support is needed, our nurse-led care in Wokingham is supported by a Specialist Consultant Nurse. They work closely with our care teams to provide expert oversight, helping to manage complex needs safely while keeping the client’s wellbeing and independence at the centre of their care.
Our live-in carers can also help with mobility and frailty needs, provide convalescent care in Wokingham following a hospital stay or operation, or offer companionship care for those who need a little more support day to day. The level of care can adapt over time, helping people continue living well in the place they know best.
The care our live-in carers provide across Wokingham is shaped around each person’s individual circumstances. A Care Manager will first visit your home for a free care consultation, where they can learn more about your needs, daily routines and preferences before putting together a personalised care plan.
Our team of local live-in carers in Wokingham works closely with a Regional Care Manager and is supported by our wider central team. Care services available locally 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:
We combine the reassurance of a national care provider with dedicated local support in Wokingham. Our Care Managers oversee a limited number of clients, enabling them to spend more time getting to know each individual, monitoring their care and supporting the carers working in their home.
Before joining a placement, every professional carer completes our industry-leading training programme. This applies whether they are new to care or bring many years of experience, ensuring consistent standards and preparing them to support a broad range of age-related and complex care needs.
Our carers continue developing throughout their time with The Good Care Group. Ongoing training, supervision and support help them strengthen their skills, respond to changes in a client’s health or circumstances and continue providing thoughtful, high-quality care.
Our live-in care services are available across Wokingham and the surrounding communities, including, but not limited to:
Providing dependable, high-quality live-in care is at the heart of what we do in Wokingham. We are proud to have achieved a range of industry awards and accreditations that reflect the standards we set for our care, giving clients and their families greater confidence in the support they receive.
Find out more about our approach to great live-in care in our video.
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.
Receiving care at home in Wokingham can help preserve the routines and independence that are often harder to maintain in a residential setting. A dedicated live-in carer provides one-to-one support around your preferred way of living, allowing you greater choice over everyday things such as mealtimes, activities, socialising and when you start your day.
For couples who both require support, live-in care can help them continue sharing their home and daily life together. It may also be a more economical alternative to arranging two separate care home placements, as supporting a couple at home generally involves only a modest additional fee.
A variety of independent charities work across Wokingham to help older people remain informed, connected and supported in their local community. Their services can range from advice about age-related conditions and care options to help with funding, social activities and practical support for individuals and families.
Below are some organisations in the Wokingham area that may be able to provide further information, guidance or assistance:
For many people, remaining at home is an important part of maintaining independence. In fact, research from the Live In Care Hub suggests that 97% of people would prefer to receive care in their own home. When support needs increase, however, families may feel that residential care is their only choice. Alongside the many good care homes in Wokingham, live-in care gives people the option to stay where they feel most comfortable while receiving the practical and personal support they need each day.
