CARE
Inspired by our own experience of the current care system, we are creating a better care community. One which works for all of us.
We are driven by the strong belief that everyone – regardless of age, disability, sickness or vulnerability – should be able to live life on their own terms. We are committed to building a better care system because we know that finding the right career really can transform your life.
Elderly Care
As we age, there are various factors that can make it harder to live independently – whether it be illness, mobility concerns or loneliness.
Getting the right care for yourself, or your loved one is important – and we know there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to care for seniors. This is why it is important to understand the different elderly care options available to you .
We’re constantly evolving to better meet your needs which is why our live-in carers can even accompany you or your loved ones to family functions, organise diaries or take you away for a weekend break.
They can be a friend as well as a companion, or provide quality home care for those with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease.
So no matter what your requirements are, you can rest assured that each and every live-in carer is appropriately skilled and experienced to fit in effortlessly with your home life and situation.
We strongly believe that having a carer living in one’s own home is the best way for the elderly to live the life they love. Relocating to a nursing home or residential home can be stressful, which is why we have outlined the primary differences when comparing live-in care vs care homes.

Couple care
Home care for couples can be a positive solution in various different circumstances. Whether live-in care is needed just to help you with daily tasks to continue living the life you love or whether more advanced care is needed for support with specialist conditions such as Alzheimer’s, we can match you with the perfect carer to help you or your loved ones.
Couple care at home provides you with a service that works for you at a cheaper rate in comparison to moving into residential home. Instead of the hefty cost of two separate rooms in a care home, a single carer, or more if needed, can be matched specifically to your needs to offer support in the comfort of home. .
We provide live-in care for elderly and disabled couples when the everyday routine can become too much to manage.

Dementia Care
Dementia is a complex illness. Even the smallest changes to one’s daily routine can cause unnecessary stress. This is why more and more families are relying on our dementia home care services as opposed to placing their loved ones within residential care homes.

Respite care
Whether you are the full-time primary caregiver or in need of more general support, we can provide respite care and share the responsibility of looking after a loved one, giving you a much-deserved break.
To reduce the potential anxieties of meeting someone new, our carers provide the service in the individual’s own home, ensuring complete comfort and peace of mind. .

Live-in care
As your or your loved ones care needs progress, you may want to consider more full time home care options. Live-in care allows people to stay in their own home, living as independently as possible, for as long as possible.
Live-in carers do everything that domiciliary carers do – providing personal care services, housekeeping, cooking and even pet care. The only difference is, they live-in the home and are there WelCare 24/7. .
For those living with more complex needs, or a long-term chronic condition, live-in care can prevent upheaval and a loss of independence. Live-in carers specialise in supporting a range of conditions, and can even be arranged as part of a palliative care plan.
Home care/Domiciliary care
Home care/Domiciliary care options allowing people to receive care in their own home – retaining as much independence as possible.
