A little help can make a big difference.
Personalised support that helps older people keep living life their way: in their own home, with their own routines, and with a familiar carer who's there for the parts that have become harder.
Choose the help that fits.
Most people need help with just a few things. Tap anything that applies and we'll use it as a starting point for your conversation with us.
We do things with you, not for you.
Good care supports what someone can still do, rather than taking it over. That might mean cooking together instead of cooking for, or walking to the shops side by side.

Your choices lead
What time to get up, what to eat, how to spend the day: those decisions stay with the person.

Abilities, not limits
We encourage people to keep doing what they can, safely, and step in only where it helps.

Care that grows with you
Support can start small and change as needs change, up or down.
The same friendly faces.
We build a small, regular team around each person, so carers get to know their routines, preferences and what a good day looks like. CQC found people were supported by the same regular carers.
“It is exceptional continuity of care.”
Keeping families in the loop.
With your loved one's agreement, family can be part of the assessment and care plan reviews. Authorised relatives can view care plans and daily records online, and can always call the office.

It starts with a conversation.
Our free assessment is a relaxed visit at home, not a test. We want to understand the person: what they enjoy, what's become harder, and what they'd like help with.

Elderly care FAQs
How many visits will we need?
That depends entirely on the person. Our private care packages start from 10 hours a week, with each visit lasting at least an hour. Some people have a few longer visits a week; others have several visits a day. We’ll suggest a pattern after the assessment and adjust it as needs change.
Will the same carer visit each time?
We build a small, regular team around each person, so they see familiar faces who know their routines and preferences.
Can care start straight after a hospital stay?
Often, yes. We regularly arrange care at short notice, sometimes within 24 hours, subject to an assessment and suitable carers being available. Contact us as early as possible before discharge.
Can family be involved?
Yes, with the person’s agreement. Families can be part of the assessment and care plan reviews, and authorised relatives can follow visit times and care notes through the Birdie app.
What if my parent is reluctant to accept help?
That’s very common. Starting small (perhaps with companionship or help with shopping) and introducing a carer who suits them often makes it easier. We’ll go at their pace.
