Personal Care
Our carers will support you with your individual preferences and ensure that your independence is promoted
There may be many reasons why you are looking at home care options. It may be because additional support or assistance is needed with those everyday tasks that are becoming a little more difficult, or because of restricted mobility through illness or accident. Our care and support workers can help in many ways, offering different levels of support as your needs change. They are trained to ensure that the appropriate safety precautions are taken to promote your health and well being.
One of our experienced care managers will establish the best package of care for you once they have discussed and assessed your support needs. Whether it is help with washing and dressing or a full care package meeting your dietary requirements, we can help you. The care plan we develop with you will confirm the number and length of visits required on a daily or weekly basis and the type of support required.
Discover the level of support most appropriate for you or your family member by completing our online care assessment tool.

For a private care package, the costs can vary greatly and will be dependent on how many visits and the level of support you require. After your free care needs assessment, you will be provided with the exact figures. We can provide an approximate cost over the telephone.
We generate invoices every four weeks. Each care visit during the invoicing period will be itemised in the invoice and we can post or email the invoice to you or your representative, depending on your preference. Invoices are payable within seven (7) days.
You may be eligible to receive funding to cover some or all of the cost of care through Brent Council. A needs assessment would then be carried out by a social worker from Brent Council in order to assess your current needs and your financial situation.

There is no charge for an assessment visit and no obligation for you to use our services once an assessment has been carried out.
At an assessment visit we will complete a needs assessment, health and safety risk assessment and, if needed, a moving and handling assessment and medication risk assessment. The assessment visit will last at least 30 minutes, but please allow for an hour so that you have plenty of time to ask us any questions.
