Trusted, Personalised Home Care in Poole

No two people need exactly the same care, so the support we provide is completely tailored to you. Some clients need help with getting up and ready for the day and personal care, while others find it helpful to have assistance with home-cooked meals and a little help around the house. Our Care Professionals also look after laundry and light housekeeping, and help with medication by ordering repeat prescriptions and giving reminders when they are due. Keeping your independence and staying part of the local community matter to us. Many of our Care Professionals drive, so they are happy to take you out and about, whether for a walk around the boating lake or a trip to the shops at the Dolphin Centre. Our live-in care is also well suited to couples, with one Care Professional supporting both partners at home, often at a lower cost than two places in residential care.

Our Care Starts With Connection

The relationship between you and your Care Professional is at the heart of quality care. We match you carefully, looking first at the skills and experience your situation needs, then at personality and interests, and you meet your Care Professional before care begins. Because the same Care Professional is with you day to day, they get to know your needs and soon notice small changes, such as a change in appetite or less confidence on the stairs. They can raise these with family or local GP promptly, a reassurance for relatives who live further away. Your Care Professional has their own bedroom and works an agreed day with breaks, and stays close by overnight if help is needed. This is not the same as 24-hour care, so if regular care through the night is required, we will talk through the options. Most clients are supported by two Care Professionals who take turns every few weeks, with our local team planning the handovers.

Our Poole Team is With You Through Every Step

Our live-in care is managed by a local team and because we are close by, we know the local GPs and pharmacies, and can call on trusted tradespeople if something in the home needs attention such as a leak in the bathroom. For relatives further away, a team who know the area and are close by is reassuring. Each one of our local Care Professionals is employed and DBS checked by us, and we train and support them throughout their career with us, including in areas such as dementia and Parkinson's. We are also regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so the standard of our care is checked independently. From your first enquiry you'll be supported by a small local team who know you and your situation, and we are easy to reach by phone or in person. If your needs change, or you are considering care after a hospital stay or for the longer term, we are always happy to discuss the best ways to support you.
