Trusted, Personalised Home Care in Wakefield

One of our Care Professionals will support you with the everyday things that have become a little harder, such as personal care and preparing meals, along with light housekeeping and looking after medication. Just as importantly, life at home carries on as it always has, with your own routines and familiar things around you, and a much-loved pet cared for and kept by your side. Living independently and staying part of the local community is central to the care we provide. Many of our Care Professionals drive, so they are glad to take you out, whether that's for a morning walk around the lake at Pugneys Country Park or to visit a local GP for an appointment. For someone living with dementia, this kind of familiar care can be a real comfort, as staying at home with the same person each day helps daily life feel much more settled.

Our Care Starts With Connection

Because the same Care Professional stays with you, they come to understand you well, your preferences and the way you like things done, which is the real value of one-to-one care at home. We start with a home visit and take care to match you with someone who suits you, considering both experience and personality, so you feel comfortable with the person sharing your home. The Care Professional supporting you has their own room in the home and is on hand throughout the day, with regular breaks. They sleep in the house, so someone is close by overnight, and if you also need care during the night, we will discuss the most suitable arrangement. Most people we support on an ongoing basis are cared for by a team of two Care Professionals who take it in turns to live with you, each staying for a couple of weeks, which gives you continuity and a familiar face. Our local team arranges the rota and the handovers, and provides any cover that is needed.

Our Wakefield Team is With You Through Every Step

For families we support in Wakefield, live-in care brings real peace of mind, and the chance to step back from caring and be family again. Because our live-in care is managed by our local team, someone who knows your situation is always close at hand, and we keep relatives as involved and informed as they wish to be. We employ and train every Care Professional ourselves, and our local team oversees the care and reviews it as needs change. Being local, we also know the GP surgeries and pharmacies in the area, and we can call on a trusted tradesperson if something needs attention in the home. We are fully regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so the care we provide is independently checked. If you are considering support for a particular need, whether after a stay in hospital or over the longer term, please get in touch and we will discuss how we can help.
