Whether that means getting some fresh air in Heaton Park or having company and support at home, their carer will help them maintain as much independence as possible.

Our expertly trained carers also support those living with more complex conditions, including stroke recovery, dementia and Parkinson’s, providing outstanding care that helps your loved one feel safe and comfortable at home.

In-house carer training

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.

Dementia care experts

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.

Award-winning care
